Is this a good, cheap computer for gaming?

jomix · Oct 11, 2014

Hello, i was just wondering if this computer is good for gaming, i would like to be able to play new games with a stable, moderate fps, but for a cheap price, please have a look at it and tell me what you think? And if you think you can point me out something better in the £3-£400, please tell!

you cant get fine fps on high settings on new games with IGP of APU.
and 16gb of ram is overkill for games.

I can build you one, do you need an OS ?

sorry for taking long to reply

I do not need an OS I already have it covered, but if you could build a better PC than that for less than £400, (mainly for Gaming) then please run me though the process

this will give you stable 30-50 fps on high settings at 1080p at almost all of games

This sounds very good, so would this PC be able to play games like Skyrim, Watchdogs and COD:Ghosts at a stable FPS?

I will surely have to think about this, as it sounds like a brilliant deal!

Yup! It should play those games @ at least medium-high settings at a stable FPS.

patrichpachich · Oct 12, 2014

they are demanding games but you can play them on 30-45fps medium/low settings at 1080p.

I agree with the i3+GTX750Ti option. Very good value combo for budget gaming. That can play any game made, and pretty well actually.

The B85 D3H is also a great pick. One of the best budget 1150 boards out there.

I would probably switch the build to use a mATX case to save some space, and switch to mushkin or crucial memory instead of G.Skill (in order to get rank interleave), other than that, looks pretty good.

thanks, yeah was supposedly get crucial ballistix sport but it has no price in UK.
swithing to mATX is great option.
