Is this computer good for running new games like Star Wars: Battlefront or GTAV?

If you upgraded the GPU, then you'd probably have to update the PSU as well, since that's not a good quality one, especially for running a higher end video card.

And at that point, you could probably build a system that's decent if you had $700 or so.

Thanks for posting, but this is where I get all confused, it gets hard for me to tell which parts are really good enough. And with some people thinking it will run fine on certain settings, and others saying it won't work, I think I will just play it safe for my first computer and spend more.

The PSU is kind of worrying. The 8320 sucks up power and that PSU is $30, no 80+ rating, just a cheap crap PSU. If it lasts as long as you wait to upgrade the GPU, then your lucky and then you'll have to shell out another $50 or so for a good PSU.

These bundles are cheap because it's usually the cheapest parts they have laying around that they slap together.

I think I have finally made up my mind, after thinking over multiple builds, asking several people, and looking up a ton of information. Ill just buy the $500 build and see how it runs, if it isn't to my liking then I will wait until have more money to spend and then just upgrade what needs to be upgraded. May end up costing more, but I think this is what I will do, though I may try and find a similar build but with a different case. Thanks for your help!

lol thanks, glad to see that i made a good decision, especially since I can always upgrade in the future, though the processor could be trouble for upgrading, but I think it will be more than worth it in the long run
