Hello, I've wanted a computer for gaming for a while, but i dont have much money to spend right now, so i figured to buy a prebuilt pc and just upgrade as needed. I heard Cyberpowerpc is the one of the better companies for prebuilds and warranties and stuff. I looked at a prebuilt on amazon(http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-GUA3100A-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B0111MTSZ8/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448571247&sr=1-3&keywords=gaming+pc) and was wondering if this would be fine to just play minecraft and some other steam games like Ark Survival and H1Z1, and probably some battlefield games. What im looking for is input if this would be a decent computer to start on, and upgrade as i go if i need to.
Thanks in advance.

No, sorry man, to play the games you are asking (Battlefield, ARK) you need at least an R7 260X and preferably an R9 270X, or the Nvidia equivalent. I'm telling you, building a PC is more rewarding and cheaper in the long run. If you want, I can price you out a list of parts that would allow you to play those games.

Would upgrading the gpu be the only thing id have to do to make it run those games better? If so, i could just order an R9 270X later on after i work some more. I'd also most likely play minecraft the most when i first get the pc anyways, but you can put your list for me to look at too if you would like.

Also has an SSD, you can change the SSD to a 1TB mechanical drive if you want. I think though you probably have some drives sitting around or can add it later.

The fx-4300 is a very low end cpu. The AMD R7 240 graphics is terrible. Also it probably has a horrible generic power supply that would need upgrading to power anything better.

I didn't include an operating system, but I don't know exactly the budget. I think if you want a gaming rig, an i5 is minimum requirement. Also 4Gb of video ram is going to help a lot with playing newer titles.
