Need to buy a new Gaming Pc
Want one that's good for all games/can handle a lot, also most importantly one that can run mx sim well!

Does this one seem good enough?

That is over priced and you probably won't be happy with its performance.

What is your budget and are you opposed to building the PC yourself?

In all fairness its not terrible. An 860K and 750Ti are fairly well matched to not cause any gaming bottlenecks. At the end of the day though that PC will be overbudget for you once you buy Windows (according to their link +$90) to install on it. With your budget and considering how most prebuilts make no sense, this seems like your best bet.

I see, would an intle i5 4460 3.2 ghz ( turbo to 3.6 ), nvidia gtx 750Ti 8gb ram be better

What games are you trying to play and what is the price with the i5? Normally I would always suggest an i5 as its a better CPU base to build of off but there are a few exceptions.

how about this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FAST-Intel-Qu ... SwFGNWS2w0

mxgp 2, mx vs atv, etc etc..... and games like sim, at a decent detail, as on my laptop, I get 80-100fps alone.. in online lobbys 40.. but soon as theres like 5+ people its 20-40.. and laggy, just want to be able to play In the lobbys with 20+ people at a good fps / graphics...

would the pc above in the links cpu's run it ok?

getting too expensive.. may just go for the 860k one.. is the 860k bad????? heard so many diff thing... amd is bad stay away.. or its a good processer! or always go for intel... would the 860k run these types of games fine???

If you can swing one of the ones with the i5, definitely go that route.

Br133 · Post by **Br133** » Mon Mar 14, 2016 6:33 pm

unsure if I can afford the i5 one, why is the amd x4 860k one so ''bad''??

We can answer all your PC questions here, no need to create a different one and split our attention. Its currently 2PM on Monday, most of us that can answer your PC questions are at work. Give us a minute to respond.

Most suggest the Intel as its newer. The 860k and its socket type, FM2+, were released in January 2014 while Intel has since released 3 platforms since then. Those who say its not good and use Intel for specifically its benchmark status of being better CPU than AMD. Those who consider AMD a better platform look at it from a price/performance ratio. There are few instances in the GPU market where AMD is close or better than its competitor nVidia but they are much newer releases than anything they have done on the CPU front which is stagnant for the most part.

The 860K isn't "bad" considering its ~$70 but when compared to a ~$180-250 i5 then its performance looks weak and rightfully so. With your strict budget and it being so low I would suggest getting the 860K based simply on the fact that for gaming purposes half of your budget shouldn't go towards your CPU. The part you are getting stuck on is the CPU, we think its overpriced and slow because of the 750Ti. The difference between the 860K and 4690K is noticeable but at gaming levels I doubt it would affect much, total difference between the two parts being ~$200. The difference between a 750Ti (~$100) and a 960/380 (~$180) is massive.

My suggestion is always to build, its not as technical as you may think. If you can machanic on a bike you are well equipped to build a PC. If you are truly scared of it though, buy the 860K and OS as the i5's are better platforms for the future the other things they include on the build make no sense (16GB RAM on the i5's is stupid, etc.). Run a few things on the 860K and see how the 750Ti treats you, if you are happy with its performance then you can call it a day. If not, sell it on eBay and put anything extra you have left into another GPU. That would replace your weakest link and provide a much better experience if you require one.
