Is the Asus A555DG-EHFX worth the money?

unlimitedbuildz · Dec 3, 2015

I would like to know if the Asus A555DG-EHFX is a computer that is worth buying for my type of gaming(Garry's Mod, TF2, Just Cause 2 & 3, CS:GO)

Here are the specs:
Processor: Quad Core AMD FX 8800P @ 2100mhz
RAM: 8GB 800mhz
Storage: 1TB 7200rpm HDD
Video Card: 2GB Radeon R8 M350DX Discrete Graphics Card
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
$US: 599.99 @Newegg | 699.99 In-store @Frys

(Full specs here)

I'd also appreciate some reccomendations for Good replacement RAM and Laptop SSHDs

Thanks

[Update] I'd like to be able to record the screen and audio from my mic while running these games. Is it possible that it will run a solid 30 fps on most of these games while doing so?

No not worth the money - that is actually a colossal ripoff for that CPU and that GPU. CPU will not keep pace with most, if not all of the games you want to play. And most pre built PCs like that include junk power supplies that would almost immediately need to be replaced. You're better off building yourself.

This is what I would get:

You do realize that this is a laptop and not a desktop he's asking about right?
