Hardware Hub Build a PC

Hello, I am thinking of buying this computer.

link to the computer:http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/lenovo-k430-desktop-pc-17392871-pdt.html

 

Is this a good gaming PC with regards to the graphics card and the processor?

I will be playing games like Starcraft 2, WoW, BF3, maybe crysis if it can handel it.

 

 

Thanks in advance

No. A custom PC is your best choice. the GPU of that system is a GT 640 which isn't really meant for gaming.  look for something that is a GTX for nvidia crads. if just gaming, 8 gb of 1600mhx ram is pretty much all you need. the i7 is a pretty good cpu but a 3570k will do good especially if you OC it. you can go with AMD which i know little of. if you could give us a budget then maybe someone could make a build for you. (i would try to, but more people out there have more knowledge.) :D

yes that  gpu in that system is crap for gaming.

for a good gaming  card i would suggest a 7870 (XT) 7950 or 7970.

AMD is also a very good choice, better price to perfomance. so if you give us youre budget, then we can help.

i set 3 in my oppinion good options.

Thanks for your replies. 

The thing is I already purchased the computer I linked above. Im playing some games now and it seems alright. But If at a later date i upgrade the Graphics card, would the rest of the computer specs be good? or is there anything else that would require upgrading if i want to play games at max setting?

 

Thanks for your time

If you upgrade the video card you will have to buy a better psu but outher than that your good the cpu and ram is fast

The only part lacking is your video card. Swap that out with a good one and you are set, although you will probably need a new power supply for it too.
