Is this a good gaming PC?

I'm no expert by no means but like you I have been striving to learn as much as possible over the last week as I am building a custom gaming rig for myself.

Your PSU is probably one that comes with the case from factory so it's probably junky...

The graphics card should be a Radeon 6950 with 2gigs of ram for the money your spending and to future proof it a little more since some games already require 2gigs on the GPU and they are all going that way in the not too far off future.

I'd say your damn close to playing most games on high settings but for that kind of money you could build your own with higher quality parts.
 
well 2 6850's might be able to max most games, but i'm not sure on that, but you could build that for at most 1200 i think.
 
Why don't you go for its website and customize.

The are two problems :
1 x PCI-E x 16 and 1 x PCI-E x 4 and running CF
Unknown PSU

depends on what res you're looking at and some of the settings, it won't be maxing the game, but should do fine on high settings if you're on 1080p, if you're on something lower it might come close to maxing the game out.
 
did you look at the tutorial thread iwoleking linked earlier in the 1st reply, it is fairly simple, only requires some time, not much really, some common sense and a Phillips head screw driver, that's about it
 
Yeah, it would do good in games.Majority of the games it would max out.
Like the othes have said, building would be cheaper, I'd guess around 200 bucks cheaper, but theres no problem with those custom build rigs, they use quality parts, just at a premium oviously. ;)

I could play BF3 and Witcher 2 on high settings without frame rate issues?
 
Its a good pc mate but i dont think so it can play most games with high def settings.the Problem in this PC is the MB and PSU, so i suggest why not to build your own Spec PC, just like the others said you can save less but with a High End performance.
 
Piece of junk, ibuypower and cyberpower are trash. Call one of their sales reps and youll see. My comp will destroy that one and it cost me 600 bucks more....


we can guide you using amazon and newegg and you can build a beast with 1500 bucks. :D


When a pc seller shows something with an unlisted part, thats reason for worry and wtf 1 pcie slot?

You might be able to play some games at high, but the witcher is going to crush that pc, along with games like metro 2033 and crysis 2 with dx11 and ultra high res textures.

How about this build (not prebuilt):

Could I play any game on max settings with this?
 
If we're talking about full hd resolution then the 6850 won't be able to max out all games. On lower resolution, probably, but not full hd. I think you'd need at least a gtx 560. Also, I think 3rd party cards would be better than a stock ATI/Nvidia because they often have better clock speed and cooling system.
 
also you'd need a better power supply, that has more than enough watts, really 550 is plenty, but that is a bad brand, look at corsair/antec/xfx/silverstone/seasonic/pc power and cooling brands for the best quality. also an am3+ and ddr3 1600mhz would be preffered
 
garbage. Ibuypower/cyberpower support is garbage. They have very rude outsourced sales people. Your better off learning how to build your own stuff. So easy its not even funny. I will never ever buy any kind of prebuilt computer. Also those slow gpus will not come close to maxing out crysis 2, metro, battlefield, the witcher 2 etc... especially in xfire newegg.com , let us know ur budget and we will customize something for u ^_^
