Yeah you can get that 4gb one it is definitely better especially at 1080p gaming. Otherwise every aspect of the build I gave you is better including the PSU especially which is much higher quality.

Since we have no idea what the requirements of the game are its impossible to tell.

However considering the higher requirements MS games are trending towards its highly likely that the game will not run on that or if it does it will run quite poorly.

That setup likely would barely have the storage space for Windows and that one game (and you did not budget for Windows).

At this point and budget you are better off buying an Xbox One.

Thats good but I would still buy an Xbox One over this PC to play that game. Or at least wait till the game has a list of minimum system requirements before buying hardware. The GPU will do the job at low detail probably, but the CPU will likely put an end to it.

I'm a huge fan of the G3258, but feel like its two core/two threads are going to be very inadequate with this game.....especially in multi-player. I would assume it to be fairly CPU intensive, so would suggest a minimum of an i3 or similar.

EDIT - To echo the above, this price-point is really where the consoles shine. They are a fantastic way to enjoy almost all gaming has to offer, with good and fairly consistent performance. With that said, do keep in mind that you can enjoy the PC with integrated graphics, though not for most games. It would be a better long term play to go with something like your configuration, but with an i5 and no GPU, then just drop in a GPU when budget allows (the build a better machine over time strategy).

Well I also want a PC for Over watch, I already have it and I run it around 40-50 fps but I cap it at 30 to get no drops. Would switching the CPU to a AMD Athlon X4 845 3.5GHz Quad-Core help?

No that would be a downgrade.

If i were you I would consider switching out the motherboard, processor and memory to a newer skylake and AT LEAST an i3.

This right here would do the job for you, you can change out the hard drive and Windows if you need to

I can't guarantee it but this will probably run Halo Wars on low to medium settings, and will definitely have no problem with Overwatch

I just saw your $399 build. Since you plan to buy some tough games i think you should plan an upgrade not a new build.
Keep your case and HD and go for a $440ish upgrade. Something like that:

Not sure if your build will even run it, a lot of modern games don't run on dual-core CPUs.
If you get an i3-6100, I can guarantee you can run it on low graphics with an RX460(because it's better than GTX950).
Why are you getting last gen hardware? Get a H110M motherboard with i3-6100 and RX460, it will run the game.

Don't do it. Where in the world did this come from?

That build is a huge waste of money the one I provided you is far better and faster at what you want which is GAMING.


Just noticed mine is missing a case. Here it is with a case, less windows 10 and hard drive

Cheaper and faster at gaming, and new technology so if you ever want to upgrade you can just drop in an i7 Processor. The AMD build you picked is the end of the road, no upgrades available.
