Would you Recommend this computer? [Solved]

[lotusmaster]

Before I really knew much about computers, and graphics cards and everything, I bought a slim line, I regret it.

I've been searching for a cheap replacement that can play games at a pretty high settings. I came across this one a on newegg.

Would this computer be good for later updating at all, or will I be stuck with what I got again?

If you buy the parts and build it yourself (it's easy) you can get that cheaper, we can make a parts list for you.

 

[lotusmaster]

Wow, the linked one is a lot cheaper. I've been told it's a lot cheaper to buy the parts. Thank you for the link!

 

[mosox]

The linked one is cheaper because it's worse. You're supposed to manually change the parts to the ones I wrote above. What's your budget limit?

Here's a cheaper one:

$716.93

Don't get anything under a HD 5770 for a video card.

 

[lotusmaster]

My budget is around 700 I suppose.

 

[lotusmaster]

Yeah, I read the site wrong. Now I get it. The first one seemed like the best choice. If not around 700 I'd go around 850.

I'm also looking for a computer that could render videos a lot quicker.

 

[mosox]

For quicker video rendering just change the Athlon II X3 with the Athlon II X4 or even the Phenom II X4 955.

 

[lotusmaster]

the quad core?

 

[mosox]

Yep, Athlon II X4 940 or Phenom II X4 955. Here's a $846.10 build
