Bumping is not allowed.

ooops sorry

im just desperate for an answer

COLGeek · Jan 21, 2014

It should perform well for a low-end platform. You should be able to play games at low to medium settings with no issues.

magepker728 · Jan 21, 2014

what about the 500w psu is it suitable for the build?

COLGeek · Jan 21, 2014

It should be sufficient. However, bundled PSUs that come with budget cases are generally of VERY poor quality, and the one you are considering is no exception. It is not a quality PSU and I would replace it with a better PSU (Seasonic, Corsair, XFX) when affordable.

magepker728 · Jan 21, 2014

ok good to know. ill go look up for one right now

magepker728 · Jan 21, 2014

by the way i have a thermaltake 430w psu that i bought like a year ago think it will work too?

COLGeek · Jan 21, 2014

The TT 430w PSU would be much better than the 500w bundles with the case. It will be fine.

magepker728 · Jan 21, 2014

ok thanks again

COLGeek · Jan 21, 2014

You are welcome! Enjoy!!

My laptop has very similar stats and does not run games very well.. be warned!

magepker728 · Jan 21, 2014

what is the name of it?

thisdugan · Jan 21, 2014

Same GPU, Intel i7 at 2.8, and 8GB of ddr3 800 RAM.

I have to run BF3 on completely low setting and can hardly run games like DayZ and Rust. Runs great on things like Portal and Gmod. I would save a few hundred more bucks if possible.

What GPU does the laptop use?

thisdugan · Jan 25, 2014

Same one you have
