New Pc Check

[Sir Kidd]

I am about to get my first new pc in about 5 years :closedeyes:
I just want to know for around £520 is it worth it and will it be capable of running most games in high quality with out frame rate issues.
Will mainly be used for my photoshop designs and gaming. No monitor but then again I have 24 inch hd monitor already so im not bothered about that.

Is this prebuilt or are you going to build it yourself?

 

[Sir Kidd]

prebuilt

 

[WarKeyGFX]

build it yourself it will be less much cheaper

 

[Lewis]

Are you getting it in 5 years or did I mis-read that?

Because I once posted a thread like this and I inquired about some certain parts and I said I was buying it in the future, I was told to wait until then to buy parts as newer and better parts will become available.

Could you not look into getting a intel processor, only saying this as I'm not too familiar with AMD and how they compare to intel. I too am looking for a gaming PC and I have seen PC's a little cheaper than this with similar specs - however I do agree with @WarKeyGFX on building it yourself, you'll get a lot more for your money.

Build one for your self, this would cost a lot less if you did. Just make sure you dont go cheap on a PSU.

Nah for ~$900 that's pretty trashy.

My mate who has had absolutely no IT experience just performed a successful motherboard swap by himself using only my PC assembly guide http://forum.ragezone.com/f766/rishs-pc-assembly-guide-858329/ it's really not that hard as long as you just use common sense.

You should be able to build that yourself for £300-350 so for £520 you can get something so much better.
