PC what's it like.

[ArronM]

I'm wanting a PC for dayZ h1z1 and csgo. I've seen this
Advertised and up for a swap for my MSI gaming laptop.

What are these systems like? Are they worth the money and will it play these games smooth? Without overheating.

that is a genuinely good deal for 700, having a an almost new gpu?
but 330w can be cutting it a bit close.
try a corsair sf 450w for 90 bucks

So I'll need a different external PSU?

 

[LucoTF]

I guarantee he'll take £600 for it

pcpp list the specs to draw less than 250w, so i think u should be fine 😉

No mention of what version of windows is installed.

The power supply is a big problem as it's external brick. Very difficult to upgrade, it should be enough for the current system as-is though

I guess the case is a small lan like style case? If I can get it for 600 will it play most games with good FPS?

 

[LucoTF]

Very much so, it's a great CPU and a decent midrange GPU. Should be able to handle anything at high settings.

The same pc is listed on ebay right now, also for £700. If you go through gumtree the seller avoids ebay + paypal fees (10% and 3.5%) of £95. He should be more than happy to drop to £620 or so via gumtree

Edit: and yes, its small form factor, I had a quick look at the specs and it's not that much bigger than an xbox one

Thanks for that reply so a swap for a msi gl72 6qc gaming laptop is a good deal for me?

 

[LucoTF]

That laptop is £700 new, so it's worth £450 to £500 used. Definitely a good deal for you
