Would anyone rate this?

It's an AMD, so no

At the min I have

Duel Core 64 AMD 5200+ 2.6gig

4gig DDR2 800mhz

BFG 9600GT OC 512MB GDDR3 Dual DVI TV Out Cuda and PhysX ready PCI-E Graphics Card

I still have this (within your price range) - http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/209845-custom-gaming-pc/page__p__2478438__fromsearch__1#entry2478438

Send me a PM if you are interested.

I wouldn't rate it. It is far from a "Fast Gaming PC" with a low range graphics card and budget cpu. With margins so tight at that price point I would really worry about the quality of the case / psu and other major components.

£364 is simply not enough money to get a decent quality gaming rig. I wouldn't recommend anything lower than an Intel i5 2500k for the CPU and an nVidia gtx560ti or Radeon 6850 for the GPU.

What games are you looking to play and what sort of frame rates are you expecting?

Cod

BF3

A-10

my pc now plays COD on full settings with no probs, i just want to upgrade and get more games

i want the new cod, bf3. a-10

the one i liked above from ebay, on most computer sites the pc comes out at nearly 700 pounds

If your playing cod now it should handle the new version as well

Not BF3 though sorry.

You ought to be looking around £600 plus ideally, as said above the 2500k is where it's all

COD isn't demanding at all though, BF3 is however.

As above, an Intel i5-2500k, with 6-8GB RAM, and a GTX 560 Ti is what I'd be building for a reasonable budget.

The Radeon 5770 that is in Robshaw's computer was initially released two years before the one in the ebay listing and it is still faster. I think that says something about how current games will run on the included card.

While the CPU is acceptable, I cannot see the graphics card coping with BF3 at all well.

I think you could be looking at 25fps average, with drops in heavy gunfight.

Im going for these and use the case/psu and HD that i have already

IF you havent already bought, have a look at these http://www.awd-it.co.uk/intel-i5-2500k-4.6ghz-gigabyte-z68ap-d3-corsair-8gb-ddr3-overclocked-bundle-bu334.html

slightly more than what your thinking about but honestly it flies and comes prebuilt

i have an o/c q6600 which i thought was fast, still is really, but nowhere near as quick as my new beast, worth the little extra if you can manage it

as an example of day to day tasks, unraring a 4gb file would take about 2 minutes on the q6600 but its less than 60 seconds now using all the same other bis the q6600 used to use

^ +1

I'm on an overclocked Q6600 and it's good for most things, however.. day to day, Office and Photoshop, the i5 2500K I've got in my PC at work is much quicker

I totally agree. AMD's bulldozer is really disappointing for gaming.

Also what are the specs on your PSU? (mainly how many amps can the 12v rails supply). PSU could be an issue if you have had it years as their max power output over time does reduce.

Scan currently have a 550ti evga superclocked for £93.59 on today only (this weekend), so that ebay price is not that great.

That looks nothing like a gaming PC. I bought a HP laptop not so long ago and am very impressed as plays everything. got a Core i7 Sandy Bridge @ 2ghz, 4 ghz of high speed ram, 1gb of ATI graphic, Beats audio and 17" screen. You can get a lot of computer for money nowdays and the windows rating is high! although many people argue about the windows rating...

the windows score will always be questionable but i must admit it is nice when you get that magical 7.9

Yeah i know what you mean, im on windows 7 64bit and both my ram and CPU are at 7.4 whereas graphics is 6.5. The main let down is the Hard drive at 5.9 but i know it's nothing that a SSD won't solve lol
