While not knocking it, is it the best performer? Can it run AC Origins at 4k 30fps high settings? 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

That's the problem with potatos today, they got passed by console. Which as an owner are more like a PC today than ever. Not for productivity ovbiously, but we're taking gaming.

OH!!!  30PFS... I missed the console reference.  Yeah, if all you want is games and you are happy with the selection on a console, then it is a viable option.

Buying new when your budget is tight is allways a surefire way to get bad performance per $. If money was an issue and I wanted a budget pc right now, I'd buy:

 

-i5 4460 or i7 4770 (because Haswell has nearly the same ipc performance like Ryzen and uses DDR3 instead overpriced DDR4)

-GTX 950 / 960 (its good enough for 1080p, also much better price to performance than new stuff)

-Asus H81M-PLUS (or some other cheap 1150 socket mainboard)

-8 / 16 GB DDR3 ram, because the prices are like they should be, unlike DDR4

-some case, maybe even a cardbord box, doesnt matter because it doesnt affect performance

-some HDD (you can get a 1TB HDD for about 35€ so why not get a new one with warranty?)

-some 450w psu (Corsair, BeQuiet!, Silverstone, Antec, ... But you actually shouldn't buy a used one.)

Locked. This would be better suited as a status update.
