I'm considering getting this new computer for gaming... i'd like to be able o run demanding games like far cry 3 on medium-high settings... Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz 8 GB SDRAM DDR3 1024 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce GT620 2GB (not all that great with computers... haha.) link to the computer : http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Xtreme-GXi990-Desktop/dp/B009LFV95U/ref=amtcd_B009LTUDDU_B009LFV95U Please help! it will be much appreciated :D
Is the graphics card and processor better? I kind of fail with computers so..sorry (x All the reviews I read on the cyberpower said it needed the power supply upgraded and possibly the graphics card so if the other build you linked is better (in graphics card, i realize the power supply is better..) i should be covered.. thanks for you help. :D

processor on his is inferior. however its still more than whats needed for todays games. the gpu is like a private jet compared to your origional pick.
a good gaming computer is not about having the msot powerful of one part its all about balance and his achieves a very decent one, not perfect but a very good result all the same.
i approve his choice and dont recommend many alternatives to it

GT 620 is low end entry card. I hardly consider that to be a gaming pc with that kind of gpu.
You'd have to get a better PSU than the 350 watt psu it comes with to get a good graphics card like the GTX 660 ti to replace the GT 620. I feel it's rather expensive for a prebuilt. It's very misleading to the casual consumer. Shame.

Thanks, how does this look? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-3-6GHz-GAMING-COMPUTER-DESKTOP-PC-COMPLETE-WITH-WINDOWS-7-HOME-PREMIUM-/121089125595?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item1c31796cdb Seems good but really cheap... I Keep finding good SOUNDING computers but dont know what to think.. Also what do you think of this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-FX-4130-3-8GHz-Gaming-Computer-500GB-8GB-WIN8-FOUR-CORES-/121068130820?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item1c30391204

The first thing I do is see what graphics card it has. That's the important thing for gaming. I check it against Tom's Hardware's chart ( cut and paste: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html ). That chart isn't gospel, but it gives a good ballpark comparison. The HD 6570 with DDR3 is pretty weak. I don't consider it a gaming card at all. You could play less demanding titles on low settings with playable framerates.
Don't buy a pre-built, you WILL regret it when you learn more about computers, building your own is a much better option as you'll get a much better machine for a lower cost, even if it does take a little learning. That video card is absolutely terrible, and despite them labelling it as a gaming computer, it's everything but that.

At the moment it's pretty difficult for people to give recommendations because your budget is ranging from $300 to $900, what do you actually WANT to spend on this machine?
That GPU... Ouch. It's weak and it guarantees that you won't play Far Cry 3 at Medium to High. To be able to play it with satisfactory performance, you should get at least GTX 650.
Consider building a PC yourself. There are plenty of tutorials where you can learn about building PCs; it's easy really.

at the most $1000, Im looking for the better deals though (obviously) If I have to push $1000 a little then I guess thats okay.

I am considering it but my laptop broke so now I have to use a slower computer that is hard to use as the rest of my family uses it.. I also know about nothing about computer parts... and what parts I need.. I could easily find out what parts I need , but do you have any recomendations on the processors and/or Graphics card(s)?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6FD1b-tYkk Also found that.. seems good for cheap, i could also spend more on the graphics card and processor if needed.. i dont know i guess its just something to throw out there (again me looking for a cheaper choice.. Im using the money i get from selling my xbox and games.. plus $200.)
intel processors are better than AMD ones. Â The first build you posted, that pc had a very strong cpu yet a gpu that is almost equal to the integrated graphics that are already present on the cpu. Â Why is the 620 geforce even being sold in a computer? Â Most probably to trick people. Â I would recommend the same build as the first one except, the cpu should be an i5, the gpu should be a 7770 or a 7750.
