And what games will you be playing?

[Aubinstein]

Battlefield and Gta are most intense ones

[Aubinstein]

Would that pc be able to run them? I appreciate your feedback.

It would be able to run them but you might have to turn some settings down. Let me see if I can shove a 470 in that budget...

So you're looking at something like the below, but with a new graphics card (the rx 460) that will add another $110 or so to the price. Always minus the OS, Monitor, Peripherals, etc.

I didn't post that one because I think the games he wants to play will be more processor intensive than graphics. At 2.7ghz it's not going to run them very well probably. Especially GTA 5.

MaxBunny, how much better is the following pc than the one you just made:

[Aubinstein]

Maxbunny would you say i could run it at normal settings at 60 fps perhaps?

It's much better but that's over the $500 budget.

You could cut down on the case to be mATX and use the saved money to get a better PSU as the B series from EVGA isn't known for their quality.

Gotcha, sorry i dont know too much about computers YET

I would be open to spending around 600 to 700 as well

I'd say it's a 60 fps experience at medium-high settings 1080p.

Well, that dramatically increases your options then. I was able to fit an SSD into this one and apparently there's a cheap platinum power supply from Rosewill (Newegg company).

Normally I'd agree, but Rosewill is backed by Newegg because it's a Newegg company. Even if it was a bad plat, it'd be a very good gold level. I'm guessing they're hoping to push out volume to get it that low. I don't know.

Ivan, How does that look to you? If its worse, what are the reasons for it being worse, vice versa.

Why is that terrible PSU priced so high?
