What kind of performance in terms of gaming could I expect to get out of these parts?

PcNoobneedshelp · Jan 31, 2017

CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
GPU: XFX Radeon RX 470 RS Triple X 4GB
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B250M-A
Memory: Corsair Value select 8GB DDR4

I'm not looking to run any extremely demanding titles so none of the pieces need to be top tier, but if any parts could be changed to drastically improve the build please inform me.
Any help is much appreciated

I think you must go for an i5 at least. Which is the minimum requirements for modern gaming.

Thor159 :

These parts are inside a prebuilt computer which PC Case Gear can build for around $900 AUD. I was considering building my own pc first with very similar parts to this prebuilt one. Except I was going was going to get an i5 6400 as my CPU instead of the Pentium G4560. I guess this prebuilt model really appealed to me due to the fact it was already around the same price range as I was looking to buy all the parts for plus it came with extra bonus of windows 10. Another reason in buying the prebuilt model was I didnt have to go through the stress of building my own computer. What I was wondering is would it be possible to switch the Pentium G4560 for a faster processor such as the Intel core i5 6400?

I wouldn't go to a i5 6400.

The pentium is Kaby Lake and so is your MOBO. Therefore not a good call to get a Skylake CPU with that.

That Pentium, has two hyperthreaded cores, and can be compared up to a i3 6100 which is a very nice mid-level CPU and won't hold you down unless you're playing very CPU-Intensive games, but as you said you wouldn't, it won't.

The RX470 is capable of running current games @High res ( probably not ultra tho ) with decent FPS as well, and 8GB of RAM is not optimal but's not bad either.

IMO, it depends on how much you're going to pay in this build. If the price is acceptable ( by pre-built PCs standards ) everything is good to go.

This prebuilt PC is $900 AUD. As well as the parts listed before It comes with a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda hardrive, Windows 10, The PSU is a Be Quiet! Pure power 9 500w and the case is the Aerocool Xpredetor Cube Mini Tower Red, which I believe includes an inbuilt cooling system. I believe this is a good price it has apparently great build quality and a 2 year warranty on all parts. The computer I was looking to build myself had as I said very similar components but I was including an i5 6400 (with a motherboard that was compatiable with this). The computer I was building myself was going to add up to a larger amount than this prebuilt one once you include the OS that I would have to purchase after constructing my own Computer. What I'm trying to say is that will it be worth spending the extra cash to build my own computer which would be slightly stronger when I could by this prebuilt one for what seems a reasonable deal especially when I'm not looking to run anything to crazy.
Thank you both for all your help

If you cannot, i'm pretty sure you will be able to handle all titles ( excluding CPU-Heavy ones ) with ease @1080p Medium/High settings with 60+ FPS.

If you do stretch a bit, you can have lesser of a bottleneck by the CPU's side and probably play @1080p with High/Ultra settings with 60+ FPS.

This system sounds great literally everything is an upgrade. Thank you so much for finding all these parts. Searching for parts was very daunting that was another reason I started to lean towards a prebuilt computer. But this is much better in terms of the cost of the build to the performance of the rather than the Prebuilt I was considering buying. I don't want to pester you anymore s thakyou so much for this you have saved me money and built me a better computer than I would've managed alone.

Thanks again for helping a PC noob out
