Yet Another Prebuilt Desktop Thread

[Grohdok]

I'm just going to get right to the point: I want to buy a pre-built desktop that will run games and programs like Fraps, Warframe, or maybe even Battlefield 3, as that seems to be a good indicator of a PC's capabilities.

The computer I want to buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883256719&IsVirtualParent=1

I am aware that this graphics card is, quite frankly, a piece of crap. I will be swapping that out/upgrading in the future (I know it's integrated). In the meantime I would like to know, will this computer, as shown in the link, be able to run games like Battlefield 3 or Warframe?

1. Mismatched RAM
2. Unknown, low power PSU
3. As you said, the graphics is crap (so upgrade #2)
4. No USB 3.0

That $299 + the above upgrades = more than you might spend just building from scratch.

Okay. See, the problem is, I'm not going to build a computer, and that seems to be the only advice anybody is ever willing to give me.

*sigh* Sorry. All I want to know is if this can run games on a decent setting, you know?

Not really no. I do not know if this would game at low settings.
Things to keep in mind games need a graphics card. and while this has an apu its not a good one. the computer has a 300W psu which is not enough for a good dedicated graphics card.
