Is this Gaming PC okay?

[Fresco3]

So I'm browsing this prebuilt gaming PC and wanted opinions as I'll be playing games like The Sims 3, The Isle and Mincraft.

CPU: Intel I7 4790 3.6GHz
Ram: 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS H81M plus
Graphics Card: NVidia GTX960 4GB
1TB HDD SATA III

Would you pay £714 for this and will it run games on high setting? Any advice would be great thanks

That is a bit expensive for that but it will run most games at 1080p 60fps on med-high-ultra depending on the game.

An i5 with a 970 would be better, for pure gaming. Your wasting money on an i7 you don't need, the money saved could be spent on a 970 which would massively improve fps

However the 970 is now last generation but it's replacement 1070 hasn't hit the shops. If you wait you can either get a 1070 which should be nearly twice as powerful or the 970 will be cheaper

Go with the i5 instead of the i7. Pretty pricey for a gaming PC, but it's not bad.

Cooling? Fan setup?

Where are you getting this from?

Agree with Sizzling; An i5/GTX970 combination would be a better one overall for pure gaming but, if it's a new, 'turnkey' system-plug it in, turn it on, it works-it's not too bad as prebuilt systems go and will do what you want just fine.

Check out the power supply and case carefully, a lot of system builders skimp on the PSU, which can hamper future upgrades, and they sometimes use cheap cases, which can lack ventilation or expansion possibilities.
