Is this Gaming PC Worth it?

[optic_Vithu]

Hi guys, I am looking to get a custom built gaming pc, and when I was just browsing around I found this PC

 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-I7-4770-3-9Ghz-Gaming-Pc-Computer-1Tb-8Gb-Nvidia-GTX-750TI-2GB-EVO-/371009177615?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item5661dec80f

 

Do you think this PC is worth it for the price, Do you think this will be a long life solution, and do you think its a good RIG for a gaming PC, for playing Games such as Battlefield 4, and Minecraft and etc.

It's alright, bit of a potato for a graphics card though for a 4770.

[Kyuubixchidori]

actually, for 500 euros, I didn't think you can build a computer like that? if its brand new thats a good deal

[Fulgrim]

I wouldn't bother with it. Save up a bit more and hand pick your parts, you'll be much better off.

[TheKDub]

That computer is quite un-balanced, the processor is an i7 4770, so you won't be able to overclock it much, and for the gpu its only got a gtx 750 ti which costs around $130.

 

Use pcpartspicker and build a setup on there, purchase all the parts then assemble the computer, much more performance for less money.

 

 

I'd suggest using a i5 4670K or 4690K, a Z97 motherboard, and a GTX 760 or 770.

I wouldn't touch that piece of junk myself. It has an unbranded psu by the looks of it. Also the gpu is pretty weak. For that budget you would be better off going down the AMD route.

[legopc]

just make it your self the gpu is to weak for the cpu and the mobo has no options for upgrading and no name psu is NEVER a good idea

If you bought the parts separately you would pay slightly more. But that doesn't mean it is a good system.

 

If you are comfortable assembling your own system then this would be better. With a higher budget one could improve the gpu for even better gaming.

4770 not 4440

[frostin1990]

BTW you don't need an i7 for gaming.

4770 not 4440

 

For gaming the important element is typically the gpu. There is little game performance difference between i5 and i7 of the same speed. By going with an i5, albeit a lower clocked one, it is possible to improve the gpu significantly, http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130?vs=1043.
