Is this a good pc

Ellis jenner · Sep 12, 2013

Hi!
I'm taking the leap into pc gaming after having a console (xbox 360). I think this a pretty good machine which suits my needs (mostly gaming), here are my specs :

Amd fx 6300 3.5ghz cpu
Case : Galaxy Evolution Tower Case With Switchable Red or Blue Led
Power Supply : 750 Watt With Power Cable Supplied (corsair)
Motherboard : Asus M5A78L-M USB3
Hard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard Drive
Gtx 760 gpu (2gb)
16gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory
Price: £600

It is definitely not bad. I would prefer to go with Intel cpu's, but that's
just my preference. IMO its best to put your money towards CPU/MOBO and a quality case.
You can upgrade the rest at a later time. Those are more or less the parts that are set in stone.

you don't need 16gb of ram use the money you save on the ram to get an 8350 or an i5

16GB of RAM is overkill for just about anything, particularly if this is meant to be a mostly gaming machine. Take some of that money and put it towards a SSD, you will be kicking yourself if you build a system without one.

Thanks for your advice , sadly this machine is not being built by me. I am a computer novice and don't want to build one my self. This is the only computer I could find that wasn't a 100% rip off. Yes I do know I can build a pc myself which is just as good for less ; this is a valid point but I just don't have the time or capability to do that. All I care about is not being called a dearest comrade by a 9 year old child whilst playing bf3 ...
