(I'm not building or upgrading, so I thought it didn't fit in that sub-forum, but sorry if it still does)
I know it's not great, especially with integrated graphics, but it's the best I can afford for a while ($500 for the desktop, monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS). I plan on getting an actual graphics card when I can afford it, and maybe an SSD for games. I know for a fact that it meets all their minimum specs except the graphics, but can I expect to get a decent FPS on at least medium?
I plan on using it for such single player titles as Borderlands 2, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dark Souls, Dishonored, Arkham City, Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed III, Dead Space (series), Mass Effect (series), and more, and of course for MMOs like WoW, Diablo 3, GW2, and TERA (wanna try it).
Here's the relevant specs:
Processor:Intel® 3rd Generation Core™ i5-3330S (quad core)
System Memory (RAM): 8GB
Type of Memory (RAM): DDR3 SDRAM
Processor Speed: 2.7GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz)
Cache Memory: 6MB
Hard Drive Size: 1TB
Graphics: Intel® HD
Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit
