Is this a Good Cheap PC that can Play Far Cry 4 on at least high?

[elijahreadd]

Here is the PC:

Here's the requirements; minimum, recommended, and optimal: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/Requirements/Far-Cry-3/11465?p=r
That PC would fall in the Recommended classification. Probably mid/high settings at 1080p resolutions.

No, that is a horrible CPU, motherboard, and I don't have much faith in the PSU that they couldn't even give a brand name for. Avoid that thing.

 

[clutchc]

...and the ECS MB is about as cheap a board as you can buy.

 

[elijahreadd]

Okay, thanks.

What about that one?

 

[logainofhades]

Still a horrible system, for the same reasons as before. This would be much better.

Ya, I agree with logainofhades, building your own is much more cost-effective

 

[elijahreadd]

Okay, I'll get those parts. Thanks a lot, also it comes out to $531 for me because I have windows 7 on disk already, so I took out 8.1

 

[logainofhades]

If you can afford more, I suggest going with an i5 4440 then.

 

[Ben Xie]

dont forget a wifi card (if you need it)

 

[elijahreadd]

Nah, I had to replace the graphics card with an MSI R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 Twin Frozr

Almost all of the views for the one you recommended me were somewhat bad, because most of them said they would crash because they made a bunch of bad ones. Unless you highly reccomend me still get it, Im getting the one above.

 

[elijahreadd]

I also forgot to ask if it will be able to play Far Cry 4, on any settings.

This is a worse choice than the original AMD . The AMD build would not be reccommended , but this one wont even run FarCry4 in any playable way

should run FC4 well .
If you had another $30 you'd add a cpu cooler and use AMD's software to overclock the processor . Then performance would be great

An i3 4150 is way better than a Faildozer FX 4130. :lol: I call BS on that article and its claims.
