 I've been looking into buying a gaming PC for a while now, but I know literally next to nothing about computers and how to build them, so i'm looking for a pre-built PC instead. I don't care about being able to play games on high graphics, so long as I can play the game with more than 25 FPS, and have decent draw distance on games that would have that option. I'd like to know if the rig i'm looking at is good for its price, and if you guys could point me to a better one if it isn't. Thanks.

Edit: Should also say that I'm looking for a rig that is under 700 US Dollars. 

Edit 2: Also, I know this isn't MP related, but considering i'll be playing ME3 MP on a PC when I get one, I thought I could get away with posting it here.

That GPU is weak. Building a PC is like lego - pretty easy if you have any mechanical skills.

Kind of low end, I believe I have the previous model graphics card in my laptop. I think you should be able to play this game at 60 FPS, possibly even while recording, but I'd really go one step up so that you can play some of the next gen games without having powerpoint level framerates.

I have the previous version of that GPU in my PC right now, and it's not very good for gaming. Not sure how much it's improved, but I'd be wary of it.

It's usually cheaper to build your own PC than to buy one that's pre-made, and it's pretty easy too. Look up videos about it on YouTube.

640? I wouldn't go below x50 for modern gaming. Depends a little on your monitor resolution - if you're looking at 1080p you really need to go to the x60, but if you're okay with, 1600x900 or something like that x50 is probably okay. But x40 is like... no.

Hey, I can totally play ME3 at 60 FPS... at 800x600 resolution.

Towers that are braded as "gaming" towers are sometimes overpriced compared to a tower with near identical specs but without the fancy case.

ie, I bought this with the intentions of using it for work related things (mostly AutoCAD electrical & RSLogix 500/5000).
Now before any of you lol at this thing for gaming, yes it's not the ideal gaming machine since it's a laptop, but it runs far better than my XBOX, especially since I plopped an SSD in it.  Also, I need something portable.

I remember comparing it to a similarly priced Alienware laptop for sh*ts & giggs.  Given the specs, I figured the alienware would've been better.  So I had my brother compare the two.  He's a computer engineer and he does all sorts of calculations and graph chart comparisons between hardware and showed me that in all ways the Inspiron was better, mainly because of the motherboard and the i-7 processor (I think the alienware was an i5)

If I were you, I'd research which is the best tower for the price range.

The 640 will not pull 60fps except at very low resolutions, and will struggle to hit 30fps at 1080.

Try looking around for a GTX 570 or go for a GTX 650ti, they will comfortably hold 60 on most current games.

Invest in a cheap i5 processor it will do the business.

Case, you can go as cheap as you like really.

HDD, again, I would recommend going for something like 500gb-1tb, depending on price (sometimes, 500gb HDDs can almost be as expensive as 1tb HDDs); it's more than enough for an OS and some games. Going for more HDDs will add cost, but can be better suited if you want to record.

For a PSU, I would recommend a fully modular (though hybrid modular or non-modular may suit your needs) of at least 650 watts.

Go for the cheapest optical drive you can, as this component really doesn't matter in the days of digital downloads.

For RAM / mobo, it's personal choice... solid mid range choices will give the best value for money, and under investing will lead to predictably poor performance.


EDIT: For $700 dollars, you won't get much, and I would be dubious as to how well it will play up and coming games... You don't need to buy a complete package either. Better to get the components you want over a few weeks / months and build a PC that will work than buy a ready made bundle, particularly when it's packing a 640 model GPU.

Everything is solid save for the GT640 and the windows 8 OS (unless you enjoy the xbox 360 interface).

No.

Weak GPU. AMD processor= derp. Ram is alright. PSU is lame.

Pass.

If you're going with a boutique maker and not building you're own then you have to realize 2 things.

It will be more expensive- about 20 to 40 percent more.

Maingear and Falcon Northwest are the best.

Here's a decent build for about 1,000 bucks.

Again I would stress maybe building your own or having someone help you- perhaps a friend or relative who is into PC gaming.

Now see, I shoulda asked a few days ago before I bought it <LOL>. I figured my GE 560 would be a good replacement for the gpu. But I can't seem to get the <censored> thing installed. Bleh. I need to find some computer savy friends...

With only 700 bucks I'd recommend to wait a while.

With a solid MoBo and CPU your rig will be able to handle all games for 3-5 years. Graphics are another thing. It's best to buy a mid-range (200-250 bucks) GPU every ~2 years (at least much better than buying an expensive high-end one only once). You also want to have a SSD for your OS and favorite games.

The main point here is that you have to look at the cost for your PC's lifespan. Investing more money for something that lasts longer is better (=cheaper) than spending less and getting problems in a year or two.

That would work, imo. You could always upgrade the graphics card later if you wanted to something with more umph.

Can you build a lego house according to the schematics?

If you can, you can build a PC.

Does it require soldering?

No.

Just stick the parts together and plug in the power and data cables.

The only part where you need to do more is when you install the heatsink and that's only because you want to make sure you apply the heatpaste correctly. All in all, even for a complete newbie sticking a PC together from parts shouldn't take longer than the afterwards OS installation.
