+John Teacake MVC Posted April 10, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 10, 2014 Looking for a new Build. Going to get this with a nice LG IPS Monitor. Do you think this build is worth it for the price. Personally I think its an Excellent Price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0074OM9QS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A8RKQID9I1V2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 pfff... - 8GB 1600mhz DDR3 RAM - 1000GB Coulda just put 1.6GHz and 1TB.. instead of putting the long number to make it look amazing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+PeterUK MVC Posted April 10, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 10, 2014 Don't expect to fit a GPU in it. If your not wanting to build your own its not deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted April 10, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have been out of the Desktop market for a few years now! Shame On me I know!! I thought it was a good price for the spec. I am not going to be a heavy gamer so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Mungis Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 As Peter said, it will be pretty cramped in that case but if you ever do want to add a GFX card or want better cooling you can easily move it into another case. As far as budget PC's go it looks pretty good, normally the RAM in them is 1333Mhz, or from what I've seen at least, so looks pretty good and the reviews seem pretty favorable! I'm sure that you'll know this but it doesn't come with an OS so you'll have to make your own arrangements for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 that mainboard has only a PCI-Express slot, so no Crossfire / SLI. Also the onboard gfx is very weak to play newer games (only directx 10). You can insert a newer card but it depends if the box supports it (i couldn't see it's back so i dunno). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted April 10, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted April 10, 2014 I am guessing that the Onboard GFX would be able to output any 1080p Video though I'm sure :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStaUK Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 As others have said, spec's and price look okay. Personally I would be a little nervous buying from an indie. If building your own is out of the question take a look at this; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=43&catid=2476&subid=2563 might take a little longer to get the PC and perhaps cost a little more, but you won't have any issues with support if there is a problem.

AnotherITguy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 So, I have a question, as per build if I read this correctly, WINDOWS 9 will be free to device makers. Does that mean us enthusiasts too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3X4S Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Here is a tip I think might help. I know this isnt for gaming, but 1 way to tell if a generic prebuilt machine is of any quality is the type of PSU.If they care about their quality/reputation they wont put in some chinese-mase generic POS PSU.Thats my theory. +John Teacake 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
