Hello, I found a Gaming PC that im planning to buy. Is it good enough to run minecraft and/or CS: GO atleast 60 FPS? Thanks

Soo yeah. I was wondering if this computer is good enough to run minecraft and/or CS: GO atleast 60 FPS. Link - http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/gaming-pcs/cyberpower-gaming-revolution-gt-ii-gaming-pc-10010851-pdt.html

Yes, it's a pretty balanced system.
Expect 100+fps in MC.
It's pretty similar, but a little bit (5-10%) stronger than this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/wxccCJ

Ok thank you. I just wanted to know since I was afraid. People were saying that they have a lot of problems with cyberpower so I decided to ask here. Anyways, Thanks again.

There are quite alot of problems with cyberpower usually. That PC likely has some low quality parts that will die off on you, but it should still run the games well.

With windows,this will be about £70 cheaper.
Buy nothing from cyber power.

This is still a cheap system with a cheap motherboard and cheap power supply, but it is a better machine than the cyber power unit.

That's actually worse, it has a better CPU (like 1-2%) but a worse GPU.

Better in every way - still cyberpower though which I wouldn't touch.

Yeah that one is quite a bit better and cheaper.

Better with a cheaper dell i3 prebuilt iMO & add a GPU yourself.

Add a gtx 960

& for less than the price of the Curry's one you have an i5+gtx 960 combo prebuilt - so much better than that build its hard to put into words.

^ great minds;-) I was just dropping in here to say the very same thing.

The psu included is this

& while the specs look fairly pants it has least has a 6 pin connector.
The system has a year rtb warranty (& aria are very good in this respect) so Id let it slide.
If you buy everything from them & PSU fails & takes out the GPU id be 99.99999% certain they'd replace the lot.
The last aria branded PSU I saw was a hec model about 4 years out of date- they probably still are .
At least not 'absolutely' dire but not great - they'll be at least on a par with the cack cyberpower UK use though & I personally wouldn't buy f*** all from the pcworld group even in store - you'll have far more problems regarding a warranty than you will with aria IMO.
