Any computer guys?

I'm looking to get into pc gaming but just basic games like CoD and GTA, Counter strike and whatnot.

So I want to know if this will run these games fine.

-AMD Quad-Core A8-5500 Accelerated Processor (3.2Ghz) with AMD Radeon HD 7560D graphics

-6GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM(upgradable to 32gb)

-1TB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 rpm)

-Built-in 2.4GHz single-band 1x1 wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n

-Microsoft Windows 8 operating system preinstalled

I can pick this up for $480 because I am looking for a budget build and this is the perfect price for me.

It should be fine, but more RAM is better and I would see if you can get Windows 7 on it.

What's wrong with win8?

 

[hamz9561]

Little things like no task bar or easy way to turn off the computer easily. I'm kind of old school and like to be able to run things from a command line if I choose to. I'm also not fond of the Metro interface and the requirement to be connected to the internet for all the gadgets on the Win 8 home page to work.

Ah. I see. It's from best buy so I will find out. But I think I might have a copy of Win7 laying around.

I would look at getting a standalone graphics card as well. The integrated graphics cards suck for gaming but you should be able to get a decent card for about $100. Also more ram would be nice but that can be upgraded on the cheap later.

I don't think it has integrated graphics

Also would bumping it up to 10gb of RAM be sufficient?

 

[hamz9561]

As long as you upgrade the memory in pairs of DRAM sticks you should be okay. I would double check on the graphics, because a lot of computers that list the graphics that way are using integrated GPUs.

Yeah I think that graphics cards is a builtin deal. Even if not it is a very low end external card and will have trouble playing any game on decent graphics setting with a good frame rate.

yeah i think that that graphics card is integrated... and 10 gigs of ram would be fine... i use 16 but its more then enough

Ok. Well I am getting the impression that I would be "alright" with this setup until I could save up for a different graphics card.
