if you're just surfing the web, sure... that GPU is cancer for gaming.

It’s a good build for basic use. If you plan to game on it, get a better GPU.

I would probably drop one level of CPU to the R3 and go with a better GPU (RX 560 or GTX 1050 at a minimum 1050 ti if you can swing it.) for a more balanced build.

As others said, the gpu is bad. Also, the psu isn't that good, go for a corsair CXM/cx grey sticker instead

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

That looks like a better balance, the PSU gets mixed reviews but in general it looks okay. Does anyone know if this is a reasonable Powersupply?

now imagine getting the same FPS, but with much higher settings. would that enhance your experience?

 

I think it would.

 

the GT 710 is potato.
