Is this a good PC?

ibernzi · Mar 4, 2018

Hey there.

I have never had a gaming PC before but want to start getting into PC gaming. I would like it to run GTA 5. Could you tell me if this PC is good enough?

No, not really. It has the old AMD FX series CPU which isn't that great for gaming.

Get something with newer Intel or AMD Ryzen.

I'm looking but they have a lot of PC's without an OS. :/

I agree with @volkgren, don't buy a PC today with an FX CPU.

I'm looking around and can't really find anything the same price with Windows 10 installed.

Here's something that would be (in my opinion) better than an AMD FX system.

The only bad thing about the Pentium G4560 is you can't go much higher than the GTX 1050 Ti that comes in the system. So if you wanted to upgrade the GPU in a couple years you would also want to upgrade the CPU. The good thing about that is you can install a Core i5 or i7 in it.

With the AMD FX system there is no CPU upgrade to help.

A used Dell is one way to go -- http://outlet.euro.dell.com/Online/InventorySearch.aspx?brandid=1&c=uk&cs=ukdfh1&l=en&s=dfh&dgc=IR&cid=296386&lid=5667688

kanewolf :

[strike]But then there's the issue of power supply. You might get away with a GTX 1050 Ti that doesn't require extra power from a PCIe connector. But even then you still have to buy the GPU, which is overpriced right now. [/strike]

Nevermind, they actually have some dedicated GPU systems.

One thing I don't like is it has 1x8GB, so that's single-channel. With Ryzen you can gain about 10% in performance from dual-channel.

*Here's another option from Dell. With the GTX 1060 6GB it would be much faster and cheaper than any other options around for the price.
