Is this PC any good?

[barana]

Hey I’m looking for a cheapish PC and wondering if this is good for: CoD: Black Ops 3 Custom Zombies, DOOM, CS:GO (Recording and Streaming CS:GO too) and GTA. If I can’t do 1 or 2 of these games I’m fine.

I would say no. Games generally perform a lot better with dedicated graphics (amd Radeon rx series or the GeForce gtx series) opposes to integrated graphics. Also, if you will be streaming, you need something with 4 cores at the bare minimum. I’d say the 8th gen i5’s (with 6 cores) or the Ryzen 5 series (also with 6 cores) will do you good.

CS:go yes on lowest settings and GTA5 not unless you want a slide show

Regarding the previous comment...it would be very difficult, if not, impossible to stream and play Cs go though. Only 2 cores.

Short and simple: It is a poor PC. It will not do what you want in either game.

Ok thanks everyone I was just checking because I do not know if fps test are accurate on YouTube. Would an AMD A10 7860k APU be good for gaming because on YouTube I watched videos and GTA has about an average of 30 fps, CS:GO of about an average of 70 fps with that AMD A10 7860k APU. Does anyone know how much fps I will get for Black Ops 3/Custom Zombies. Also Streaming and Recording kinda small games like CS:GO

It's fine for very entry-level gaming, but asking to stream can really put a strain on a PC not built for that kind of thing. And the other problem is there's no upgrade path; any CPU you want streaming would require an entirely new motherboard and probably new RAM.

If you need a very basic machine that you can upgrade eventually to something that *is* good for streaming, you should be starting with a budget build from a modern platform.

You can maybe stream something like csgo in 720p from low to medium just fine on this pc.

Get yourself something like this. It is upgradable and is a great starting point. Any of the ones listed so far from Amazon you will be stuck with a dead platform.

Don’t get the tesseract. Had the case and it was poorly built in every way. If you want a reasonable case that is good for the budget, you could try the cooler master lite box 5 if you don’t need a dvd drive, or the Zalman Z11 Neo, which I have, which isn’t bad for $40ish. Overall, don’t buy the tesseract. Everything else is good.

Not really much better. The older AMD chips are not up to more demanding tasks.

 

[jgustin7b]

To stream, you would need the Ryzen 3 as a bare minimum for streaming...
