Cheap Gaming PC Help Needed

[th3pk3rkyle]

Hello I'm new to computers and I'm thinking of building my own.
I don't have a lot of money so it's going to be a budget gaming computer.
I already have a monitor and I'm going to need a operating system.

But tell me what you think of this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1068942

I'm not sure if that's good for gaming I'm thinking about buying it but I'd like some feedback on it first.
Any help is appreciated!

Also if I do get that I'll probably order 8gb of ram instead of 4

It will be alright. It should play games on medium-ish settings.

Doesn't actually look that bad for a combo. The i3 is alot better than people think it is.

Well that gpu is terrible. I recommend you just build it yourself. Pick out parts and post your build. On your budget I recommend the cheapest IB i3 you can find on newegg, a 450w 80+ psu, a 7850 1GB, and a $55 Asrock motherboard. Go from there and post your build.

Best I can do to keep it as low as possible. Better build imo.

I would get a 2GB 7850 though if possible.

 

[Deemo13]

I would swap that CPU above for an Ivy Bridge one, to be more compatible with the motherboard.

I would also go with 2x4GB as opposed to 1x8.

And I don't feel that the 2GB is worth it over 1080p.

How is the gpu bad? It has good reviews. I just need it to be able to run WoW, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and DayZ

You can probably play those on medium-ish settings. Its just not that powerful of a card.

 

[Deemo13]

Well, its not powerful in comparison to what you CAN get with your budget. The 650Ti is faster than my current card, and my current card is still fast, but I would love a new one.

Because it is terrible price performance wise. The 7750 is about the same and yet costs $10 less AND uses almost no energy doing so. They clearly bundled that 650 to sway noobs with "GTX" (No offense they got me before lol), and get rid of that card no one buys.
