asking if this is a good pc for gaming

Corey Patterson · Sep 14, 2014

i was wonderig if my computer would be able to play games like call of duty ghost ad other high end games with atleast mediam quality. my computer has a pentium r dual core e5800 3.2 ghz processor. its got 8 gigs of ram. 64 bit windows 7. it also has a MSI R7 250 2GD3 OC Radeon R7 250 2GB 128-Bit ddr3 video card.

Hmm i dont think so dude...
You make a bad deal with the GPU because R7 250 comes out with 1GB DDR5 Vram too, and you buy the 2GB DDR3 vram which is not for games.

R7 250 2GB 128-Bit ddr3 is a little worse than R7 250 1GB DDR5. And your cpu is kinda old (pentium r dual core e5800).
Just run new free 3dmark and see what you can do w/ new games. I think you still could get playable fps w/ low settings.

Well... if you are wanting to upgrade (which i suggest) to play the games you want without many problems, what would your budget be?

Corey Patterson :

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7QRqNG is part of the build I just did... I had a budget of around $250 but ended up doubling that due to upgrades. http://www.pc-specs.com/pc-custom-builder/cpu is a good tool to get a ballpark estimate of what you need to run each game respectively. I would start there with picking what parts you need and then price it from there. What would you want to sink into a new build if you had to? Also, do you know the specs of your build now? If so, can you list them? Upgrading existing parts could also be a cheaper alternative.

It's GDDR5 not DDR5... we just got DDR4 (and it's mostly out of stock), I don't think we'll see DDR5 in a while

To OP, he means what are your system's specifications? Such as CPU, GPU, RAM, Power Supply Unit (PSU), and case?

bwags35 · Sep 14, 2014

yes, what Solkeher said
