Probably have to upgrade the GPU in that and most likely the power supply. Otherwise I really don't see anything wrong with it other than it's not "custom" built like I'm sure people will say to do.

Actually I think it may be that guy who tried to ruin the 'rate my setup' thread, the one with the bashed up crappy PC who made multiple accounts to insult others for spending more than $20 on a case and how dedicated graphics cards had ruined pc gaming. The writing style and blatant disruptive trolling are very similar.

He also shows you the high end model specs and gives you the low end model price, and it's still a rip off at that price as I proved on the other thread, rofl.

if your serious about getting 1 and not baiting me liek i think u r getting the basic drawing actually isnt that bad its the shading which can be the real painful part. i recommend something small to start. one of my co-workers has a tiny set of planets on his right forearm and one of my bosses has a half body tatto (waist up)

i also dont recommend doing it yourself to yourself i dont speak from experience but i imagine stabbing yourself with a high powered needle a few million times every ten minutes would be both hard to force yourself to do to yourself and incredibly hard to make accurate drawings while doing

SlaveOfTerror, how much would you be looking to spend to upgrade that PC? We can point you in the right direction for best value parts.

Also, I wonder if wizzy has been banned by now. He stirred up a lot of problems in Off-Topic so I've found out.

Actually, looking at it, it has an AMD APU in it. It might be a small form factor case, that would make upgrading difficult.

I REALLY REALLY want a pre-built computer for around $500. I saw this PC and thought that it had good specs for the games I plan to play. Plus it has a decent amount of RAM/Hard Drive. No, I am not buying an Alienware.

For the games you mentioned, it should hold its own just fine. Source is not a very demanding engine. This system may struggle with newer titles though, I'm not sure how well Arkham would work with it, let me see if I can find some benchmarks.

Should be able to play Batman no problems. If that's all you're looking to play this should be fine. AMD APUs really shine at light gaming for their price.

hey slave, I would recommend you don't get that pc. why? the gpu is weak and the psu is 220w. not enough for a gpu upgrade, and not only that, but because the pc is so narrow (not even 4 inches wide) you can't fit a standard gpu or probably psu for that matter. it would be a headache. sure, it will do what you want it to for now, but down the road you'll end up wishing you had bought a more upgradeable machine.

this thing is uper lame and out of date already. the AMD on board GPU is super basic and will fall over after this year for anything other then SOURCE games. straight away you will be upgrading this thing......

Even then you should still be okay, just know that for most newer games the settings will have to be turned down all the way most likely. As others have said, this computer is not a processing or gaming powerhouse and it's upgradeability is extremely limited. It might be worth building your own computer, but I'm not sure how far you can get on your budget these days. I haven't tried to configure a computer for that cheap in a while, it would be worth looking into to get more value for your dollar.

Card is too weak to do some decent gaming and the power supply doesn't support anything heavier than what's inside the case. The latter is only 4 inch wide, so you'll have to find a high-end low-profile card and a small non-ATX supply...

Better let it pass and save your money for something better...
