    Question Cheap Gaming Pc choice

    Could anybody tell me if this computer is any good for casual gaming, just games like "The Ship" , Call of duty games, ARMA II, and such games smoothly (30fps in my opinion) at medium quality

    VIBOX GA-S

    Or this,

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUAD-CORE-...01183999752375

    also, if anybody could suggest any other cheap computers, or places/sites were i could get someone to make one as i do not know how to, it would be greatly appretiated :)
    also i do not mind going up to £400-£500 or replacing a few parts (if simple) to upgrade

    Thanks,
    Optic.

    Honestly man youve got a great support group here, youll be able to build a better system with that same price if you put it together yourself. Ask me any questions or anyone else here. Its just like putting together a puzzle.

    Those are pretty bad systems to be honest. The first is just bad, but the second is below mediocre. How much do you have to spend for a computer?

    Actually, £500 is enough to build a medium gaming computer. I'll put a build list up in the next 30 minutes.

    There is no soldering involved, you basically just screw the motherboard into the case and everything else just plugs in.

    Build is spoiler. Came out a little over budget at £512.47. You should have no problem playing games at medium-high settings. You can also upgrade your CPU to an i5-3570K later on and also upgrade the GPU if you ever see the need to.

    Yeah it's really easy, once you've done it once you can pretty much build any kind of comp, with some exceptions. Pretty much everything only has one spot to go and once you know where it goes you'll be fine. I'm sure there's stuff you can google for that. Luckily for me I had a IT guru walk me through it on the phone lol.
