Is this a good gaming pc?

deerhunter113 · Nov 1, 2013

I have been researching the parts for quite a whule now, and that is what I came up with.

Should I go for a cheaper case, or is it fine? Thanks

not bad but you really need 8gb of ram now for gaming. 4gb will choke you and slow games down as your page file will be going like crazy.

I was afraid of this, but oh well.

The hard drive is not for home use, its for surveillance and if you record something like parkinglot or offices

Ok you are overspending on the case. Dropped to another and increased RAM.

EDIT : Also changed the HDD. Ty maurelie

Keep in mind that 250GB of storage is NOTHING. A few games and its full.

Does it really matter?

For 1080p gaming is nice.
U may pick a bigger HDD for example http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003
and 2x4GB 1600Mhz RAM from G.Skill Ripjaws X Series.

Have fun!

You will not get the performances of normal hdd, it is not designed for home use. They are designed for media center, media server, surveillance, digital signage and other stuff
