So brother in law wanted a gaming pc and i sorted it out for him. Just wanting to make sure i did the right thing.

 

Got i5 3470

8gb ddr3 ram

Nice hp case

new 450w psu

Hd7770 1gb version

500gb wd blue

Dvd rw

hp 19inch widescreen

 

he has been use to playing on a laptop at 15fps in league of legends and cant even run another game on his POS

 

It was on a budget and i think i  did really well.

 

But question is will this play games well?I mean i thought it would

Is it all used hardware? if so you'd be fine with an i3 and getting a better GPU like a 7850

 

otherwise what budget?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

yep all used stuff. im in nz and prices are stupid here a 5850 can fetch $100 here lol.

 

7850 is $200 

 

got the 7770 very cheap so grabbed it. wont even be playing at 1080p already bought the parts just wanted to confirm that it would play league of legends and h1z1 ok

Well then it's probably fine, just try and fit a 1080p IPS display in there, or find a 1600x1200 75hz CRT
