Title: question about pc
Post by: qolderman on May 11, 2014, 11:25:00 AM
so, i'll get a new pc in summer (acer xc600) and i want to ask.. can it run good games, like bf4, far cry 3, etc. games what require good pc.

i googled about this pc's specs and they were pretty good for gaming. i've readed a lot of comments about this pc and a lot of them are positive ones.

i watched videos about this pc in gaming and they were pretty damn good. no lags or anything.

i compared games' specs and pc's specs and pc's specs suit games' specs

if anyone here has this computer, pls tell me if it's good in gaming

If you're getting it from store don't believe crap they tell you. Most of the time it's just because they need/want to make sales and will try charge you and sell you extra stuff you do not need. Aha sorry only advice i got for you.

Factory specs are SATA drive of 500gb, dual core with i3 processor, 8gb of ram ddr3 though that is apparently the max.

The GT620 graphics card in that setup is actually not meant for heavy gaming, but it can stand its ground up to a certain point.  ;D


It's a pretty alright choice for the price :3 it should prove solid for up to 2 years without any upgrades of the sort

if you put graphics on "mediocre puke" you should be able to touch 5fps on loading screens with optimal temperature and air pressure.
go get a custom build u noob!

I wouldn't recommend it for long periods of time (more than an hour or so). I don't think that video card can sustain that kind of stress without suffering heat damage and eventually cause performance drops on even regular tasks

Considering what he said in his original post, he probs doesn't even know how to begin building a custom rig :3

First build is always the roughest  ;D but the value is mos def usually better than what you would normally be able to afford with the same amount of money pre-built if you do it right

You can build one your self in about 30-45min.

Just tell us what's your budget and we'll(I'll) tell you witch composant you should buy to get the best Pc to game with for your profit.

There is this magical website called www.choosemypc.net (http://www.choosemypc.net) where all you have to do is put your budget and it will choose all the cost effective and compatible parts for you to assemble :D

If you don't like a certain part it will refer you to PC part picker and you can look up swaps. Great for people who need a hand building a rig, but aren't sure where to begin for their budget ^^

dude
look for a shop near ur place that makes custom builds
they will give you 3 or 4 ranges of different builds that you can choose and eventually rearrange

that way you spend less and have a decent computer, dont go on your own pls

do you even know how to build your own pc without damaging the components?..
would be good to know before i give any advice
Title: Re: question about pc
Post by: JustRK on May 12, 2014, 09:43:55 AM
in your build specs on the previous page you should

1) replace 1TB sata drive for 125 or 250 sata and have a separate SSD partition (should cost roughly the same)
2) try not to ever use a stock cooling fan because they suck especially on something intended for gaming
3) lowkey obtain a copy of windows 7 for free and use the money you saved to buy a second ram card  :P


Anyway also like previous posts, look up how to build rigs properly etc ( using gloves or using an anti-static clip as well as how the parts fit and keeping the cords neat)

Here's your best advice for gaming. Buy any sh*tty CPU with atleast a core 2 duo processor and atleast 2 GB RAM. What all matter for gaming is the GFX card, and it's where you should spend for gaming.

Well, most probably I think the problem comes from your brain.

@Yz
Usually, the new ones will start up faster. You may have more programs and files installed in it.
