Hi guys,

So basically I'm getting a gaming PC but keeping my budget relatively low. I stumbled across this desktop- the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA440 w/ AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz, link below- and was quite impressed with its specs for its price. I know it's not top end game material, it's mid to low range now, I get that, but still meets the requirements for games considered somewhat demanding like Shadow of Mordor, which I saw yesterday. Bear in mind one of its selling points is how easily upgradable it is should I need an upgrade.

I'm looking to mainly play MMOs on it, SWTOR primarily. It seems well within the range and fantastic for its price. There's a video on Youtube of the GPU smoothly running SWTOR on very high, though I'm unsure of the CPU accompanying it.

My question for you all is: will it play games like SWTOR on very high? Bearing in mind I'm content playing it on medium, even with a system like this.

And, secondly, do you think it's worth the money? Remember I'm not an elite gamer, I'm likely going to be playing MMOs and games a few years old, at best newer ones like Elder Scrolls Online. I reserve the rest for my PS4. (Always have been a console gamer, call me stupid, I love the feel of it.) On other forums there seems to be unanimous agreement this is a great system, particularly for the money, but I just wanted to check with you guys.

Here is the desktop in question: http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_020V005870751000P?adCell=MC_to_Product

Appreciate the help!

To answer your obvious question, the 650 should handle SWTOR on High pretty well, and 1080p@Medium at the very least. You might hit some frame drops on the fleet if you walk into the PVP section when there's 100 people standing around on high settings, but during PVP matches or 16 player raids you should have more than adequate performance with that setup, and if it's upgradeable later on, you can just get a better graphics card, the FX6300 isn't a weak CPU by any means.
I bought a Cyberpower PC once.
The HDD rack arrived warped and held in place by zip-ties.
They'd attached the motherboard to the case without stand-offs and so it wasn't aligned properly as was at a risk of shorting.
The front USB ports were loosely attached and kept refusing to function until I took it apart and rearranged everything, and put it back together properly.
It was advertised as coming with a mouse and keyboard, but the keyboard was missing.

I wasn't very impressed.

Still, my current PC is a dramatically upgraded version of that with a new video card, RAM, PSU, and case, so it didn't turn out too horribly. The parts I have left still from it still function.
