Question on Performance

[RyanRevan]

Hi.

I'm using ascendtech to get a (semi) custom PC built, and i've found a budget build (404 dollars) and I wanted to ask how it would shape out.

Specs:

CPU: A8-6600K (3.9ghz)
GPU: GTX 730 (not using the A8's graphics.)
RAM: Premium 4GB DDR3 1333MHZ PC3-10600 Chip
HDD: 500GB Serial Ata Sata 7200Rpm Hard Drive

Hi, that looks like a good machine for that price, although *why* would they include a GTX 730 with the A8 as the performance of the integrated graphics will probably be about the same?

Personally, I'd ditch the GTX 730, up the memory speed to DDR3 1866 and double it up to 8gb. The rest of the build looks good

Thanks!

What type of performance could I expect from the A8?

Also, dont really know lol.

Expect lowest settings in modern games but with playable FPS.

Okay, great!

This is my first non potato PC, so really anything above 5 FPS on potato graphics is amazing for me.

You should get lowest settings with playable FPS in mos tall games no problem. As stated above, ditch the 730. It is completely pointless.
