Was looking at gaming computers and wanted to know if this particular one would be good enough for steam games and any suggestions that arnt to pricey that is worth getting let me know

"Steam Games" can be anything from Five Nights at Freddy's to Far Cry 4.

(yes I know FC4 is a Ubisoft game - but you can buy it on Steam as well.)

 

 

1. CPU. AMD A6-6400K is a dual core CPU. Dual core has been outdated for years. Modern games will require at least a quad core CPU if you want to run smoothly.
   
2. RAM. It just says 4 GB DDR3. Not a brand, no info on mhz, latency, nothing - oh and 4GB isn't a whole lot anymore. Also, DDR3 went out last year. DDR4 is the shit now.
   
3. HDD. 500 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive. Again, no info. It could be a cheap ass brand that eventually will crash as far as we know. 500GB won't last long if you plan on installing them Steam games of yours. One more thing; having an SSD for your OS and a regular HDD for storage will save you so much boot time - but I guess you don't want to put in the money for that.
   
4. GPU. AMD Integrated Radeon HD 8470D. I don't even know what to say. Integrated graphics cards can barely handle anything. You're lucky if it runs GTA San Andreas.
   

 

 

tl;dr that setup looks like 4-6 years old. It's outdated.

 

I wouldn't recommend buying any of those ridiculous gaming brand computers like CyberPowerPC and iBuyPower. They just stock up on components, build a computer and sell it for way more than what its actually worth.

 

 

I don't often agree with setups I find online, but this one is pretty much spot on.

$500 gaming pc setup

 

• CPU - AMD FX-6300
  
• MOBO - ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+
  
• GPU - XFX Radeon R9 270
  
• RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB
  
• HDD - Western Digital Blue 1 TB
  
• CASE - Rosewill Dual Fans
  
• PSU - XFX Core Edition PRO550W
  
• OS - Install O.S. from USB drive cough-pirate-cough
  

 

 

You will get so much more for your money if you get these parts and build the PC yourself/have a friend help you rather than buying outdated, overpriced trash.
