Found this PC, is it good and what can it run?

sbellingham · Dec 16, 2013

Hey guys I was looking to start PC gaming instead of buying a next gen console I found this pc from overclockers http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-210-OK&tool=3 I was wondering what games it could play and at what settings (e.g Battlefield 4 and Dayz) and how good is it

Thanks
Sam

Couple of things... if the 497 is the top end of your budget its of no use to you... You still need to add an operating system, and at least a 50 pound GPU to the build. If you have room for another 120 lbs then that is an okay build will run most games, but I think if you're not adverse to building your own you can do much better than that for 620 lbs. (don't have a pound symbol on my pc)

Not good on the framerates unless you upgrade the GPU:

In the review, you'll be in the low 20s for BF3 and BF4 is even more demanding.

If you use a lower-res monitor or run at low settings, you'll get a performance increase at the cost of image quality. The R7 250x (default in this PC) is not a gaming-quality card.

Supahos :

So if i buy this and play mid range first than upgrade it later this is a good build to buy?

honestly I wouldn't buy it I would build my own, but I build them pretty regularly. You could build that same computer yourself for a pretty good discount (if you're comfortable doing so) you'll have to buy the OS right now to even use the computer at all that will cost you another 67lbs. As sbellingham mentioned the GPU that comes with it is horrid, you might could squeak buy for a while with a 650 TI (I have one and it will function on nearly all games doing pretty well but nothing amazing. so I guess its up to you let someone build you a slower computer for 565 lbs that won't really game, or 588 lbs if you add the 650 ti... either way you can do better building it yourself (better CPU/GPU) and have the same budget.
