Is this prebuilt Asus computer good?

phoenixblue · Nov 26, 2015

Hi, I've been looking for a good prebuilt computer to buy on Thanksgiving/Black Friday. Couldn't really find any good deals but I stumbled upon this computer that looks like it has really good specs:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883221129

Only thing I'm not sure about is the R9 370. Is that a OEM card, what card is it equivalent to? Otherwise, the specs seem good for the price. It's mainly for gaming and video editing for youtube.

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

That's a pretty good price. It would be hard to duplicate and build yourself for that. I would assume the motherboard is an ASUS board, like the GPU is an ASUS model, so fairly good quality. The only thing that may be suspect is the PSU, I don't know whose they are using. You should get decent frame rates with low to medium settings at 1080p.

Only low to medium settings? I thought this computer would be able to play everything on high..

It should be able to run everything on high-ultra 1080p. I have no idea what that other guy is even talking about.

You can play on high settings, but your FPS will be well below 60 FPS that most people want in newer games.

Fallout 4 is a shitty game to use as an example. It looks and runs like shit. Mgsv, Witcher 3, GTAV, ect are all decently optimized and look spectacular so I'd expect 40-60fps high-ultra settings on titles like that

And to answer your question the r9 370 is better than the 950 but worse than the 960

I'm guessing you didn't bother to look at the benchmarks. 25 FPS, no thanks.

Aeroisticon · Nov 26, 2015

What the hell are you talking about? Hell, even a G3258 and a 750ti can easily handle GTAV high-very high settings at 40-60 fps.

R9 390 vs R9 380 vs R9 370 1080p Benchmarks
I really like the performance of AMD’s mid-range cards as of late. All of them are competitively priced and provide strong performance for the money you spend for 1080p and 1440p resolution gaming.
Average FPS Witcher 3 1080p Ultra, HW0, AA0, SSA0 Source
R9 380: 36
R9 390: 48
Average FPS GTA V Highest Settings Source
R7 370: 25.3
R9 380: 35.3
R9 390X: 49.3
