I'm looking into broadening my gaming experience and capabilities and the laptop that I have now is currently useless for gaming and not exactly easy to upgrade without the use of a soldering gun...
So I have a friend of a friend situation where they're offering their fairly new gaming pc to me for a couple hundred bucks if I'm lucky, but 1) it's a limited time offer/availability if someone asks for it first, and 2) I don't yet know enough about what I'm looking FOR or what I'm looking AT to know if it's a good deal or good enough for the gaming experience I'm hoping to get.
That said, I must reiterate that I'm new to this. So I'm not looking for the BEST stuff right off the bat, more of easing into it. Plus, I don't have the budget for the BEST gaming equipment right now anyway so the couple hundred looks nice by itself.
Anyway, these are the specs for the computer that I know of, but know mostly nothing about:
- enermax ostrog case.
- amd a10 6800k richland cpu
- AMD Radeon HD 8670D onboard
- 8GB crucial ballistix sport ram
- 1tb western digital green HD
- Diablotek 600 watt atx PSU
- pioneer blu ray dvd burner/player
- cooler master cpu cooler
- msi fm2-a75ma-e35 motherboard
- window 8 installed.
- 7 fans installed.
I'm a big fan of RPGs, so I'll be looking into various MMORPGs for sure. I know some friends have been trying to get me into WoW lately especially with the Draenor stuff coming out.
I've tried to give as much information as I could so that I could get the best feedback. Please help me out, Community!
Thanks.
**Also, is this the best category to ask this under? Or should I be asking it under the Systems cat even though I AM looking for opinions and experiences with this kind of tech?
