Is this PC build good and compatible

[Guest]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sKvpWZ A guy gave this to me and I like the price and I think the parts are good. Will I be able to play games like csgo, dayz, Minecraft, arma, and battlefield on medium settings? Will it last long?

Hard to tell if you're gonna use the integrated GPU in the i5.

That PC is a bad build for gaming. A 750W PSU for just a CPU? A CPU cooler for a locked CPU?

What's your budget? Let me suggest something.

I agree with Brunostako, however games like minecraft and csgo take hardly any power. If you are looking for a build under $600 you wont get the best gaming computer.

You should remove the CPU cooler and use the one that comes with the CPU

Not going to be doing much gaming on that thing. No dedicated GPU....

You can build a decent performing rig for under $600.

Surely you understand that $600 is a very low budget and you will not get the best performance. For games like DayZ on ultra graphics including Anti Aliasing, you definitely wont be getting many frames. but for minecraft and csgo, if you run on medium settings you should be fine.

My personal opinion would be to wait and save up some more money. However you can get an alright computer for $600

EDIT: Your also forgetting about an operating system, windows adds an extra $100- $150

They didn't include OS, so I didn't either. Also, they only asked to be able to play on medium settings. The rig, I put together, would run ultra on minecraft and csgo. Minecraft can run well on a 7850k's IGP. :lol: Even a lowly GTX 650 can do CSGO easily. Battlefield should be medium to high. BF4 also has the benefit of Mantle. Medium to high should be doable on Dayz and Arma.

Just my opinion, but I would save up some more cash. That little barrier between $600 and $800 is a big difference. As well as that the $600 computers wont last very long seeing how games are changing so quickly these days.. You have your opinion logainofhades but my suggestion to kingfiish is to save up a bit more money.

EDIT: and if you decide to save up a bit more, a graphics card wouldn't hurt
