Is this a good pre-made gaming PC?

[Nekobe140]

Hello all, I was wondering if this pc is decent for playing high-end games on great or max settings, I am aware I can make a pc -- I just rather buy one pre-made. Thanks

I'm interested in playing games like Final Fantasy online, TERA, Witcher series, etc

I can't be arsed to go into details but... no. I am sure someone here will further explain why.

[Boricha]

I would definitely change the Motherboard, Processor, Graphics card, and power supply. IE pick another computer lol.

Since no one else has replied:

Yes, it will play WoW.
It will mostly likely play other games.

I would start looking at other options if this is listed at anything over $1000 (not including peripherals).

**Wow! I did not even notice the power supply. A sure fire way to make sure you have horrible performance and possible hardware issues is to skimp on the power supply. An average gaming power supply is around 500-600w in a basic gaming machine. This one doesn't look like it would even support the card that is listed, If you ever wanted to upgrade you would be screwed. Also, a power supply is not all that expensive (normally $60-$100 for a decent one).

Don't buy pre-made. Literally no reason to do it.
If you're scared/don't know how to assemble a computer, order your stuff from a nearby store and the guys there will assemble the parts you order for free probably.
You won't get the best deal for each component that way, but it will still beat pre-made configuration in every way.

[Varabently]

What's your budget? For $700 you can make your own that's better.

[Nekobe140]

My budget is defiantly $700, maybe bleeding into 800?

I'm not sure where to start with this comment. I don't think you will ever find a "nearby computer store" that has free assembly. I would guess that most people don't even have a "nearby computer store" other than Best Buy which doesn't sell any computer hardware for anywhere near the price you would ever desire to pay for it. If you want a decent deal you need to buy online (either assembled or in parts to assemble yourself). Not everyone feels like assembling their own computer (even if it has gotten easier you are still looking at $1000 or more in parts that you have no real clue where to put where). You are better off buying online from a reputable company if you are one of those people.

In both cases, buy directly from their website, do your research, watch for deals, and choose your own options on their website while paying them to assemble it. Often, if you watch specials and deals you can end up with a decent machine that is actually very close in price or cheaper than what you can create a custom for. The only way those companies can make a profit is to buy in bulk and make bulk sales. For that reason, they attempt to avoid pissing off a consumer.

Just shy of 800 bucks, includes overclocking capability for future-resistant potential, and is much, much stronger than the APU+R7-240 setup in the pre-built.

I'm speaking from my own experience, but i'm not from the USA tho.
I've bought 2 computers the way I suggested, and the conversation (both time) was - Me: "you'll assemble that for me right?" Employee: "Yes ofc mate, np"
One month ago, i bought my third brand new computer, i ordered parts online this time (using price tracker website for my country) and instead 880$ that i would paid in the closest city store i paid 800$.
Therefore, i don't see a problem with my comment, but maybe things are different in the place you live.

In my experience i've preferred Intel products over AMD products like the g-card, motherboard and processor you listed. I built my own pc a few months back with a bundle from overclockers. I'm not sure how they prices match up to you guys in the US but something like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...12&subcat=2513 is ample for your needs.
