Is this good enough to play newer games?

[SweatyD]

I've found a listing for a pre-built pc  which is what I am going to get because I'm not into building it myself. It's down from £799.99 to £579.99 and I was thinking its a good deal, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to run games such as PUBG or Overwatch. I read somewhere that the Processor would bottleneck the graphics card, is this true? (This is the only reasonable looking listing on the site I have to use, for reasons.)

• Windows 10 Home Edition 64-bit 
• AMD FX 4300 CPU 3.8GHz 
• 8Gb DDR3 RAM 
• 1Tb Hard Drive 
• NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 1050Ti 4Gb dedicated graphics

This is the actual computer itself. (I just noticed I got the price wrong)

you should not buy a amd fx  they are weak for games

you should look for a ryzen if you going to buy amd   never buy a  fx  they are obsolete

Nope, an r3 1200, cheap arse mobo and a 1050 ti sitting on a box beside a psu would be a better buy.  As a matter of fact, that’s what I recommend!  Minus the box, you can get a decent case for £20.

Thanks for that tip! I don't know very much about AMD and which ones are better but the site has no Intel computers of reasonable price

I'm really not looking to build one myself

Why not? It’s safe and most of the time much cheaper.

Because they are trying to dump older AMD stock cheap

Or buy the bits and pay someone say £50 to build it?

Yeah, I know it would be cheaper but I'm just not really into computers enough to do so. I'd like to just buy a pre built that I can start playing on straight out the box and I the shop I'm using doesn't sell parts and I kind of have to use it for reasons that I'm going to explain. I found this other listing it's a little more expensive but it has much better reviews. (pic included) do you think this would be a good choice for a starter gaming pc? I'm not looking to play super heavy games like Witcher 3, just games like CS:GO, PUBG, Overwatch and Fortnite. Could it do the job?

I don't know anyone who could build it and there are literally 0 computer stores near where I live that could do the job. It sucks becuase if there were I would possibly go for a custom build.

You're always going to get a better deal for custom builds. Prebuilt is more expensive and you will have to compromise. If you just buy the parts and assemble them, it will be more worth it. It's daunting at first, but watch build guides, even if you don't have the same parts, it'll give you an idea of what to do, And just be careful. I built my first system earlier this year, and the only problem I had was when the motherboard didn't tell me where to plug in the power switch cable. 

Its actually quite easy.

Nope, the first one was better
