Is building pc's hard? Cause Youtube vids make it look confusing :S

 

[mickyflinn]

Some parts are B grade , but if you dont mind that its a cracking build for the money.

Get yourself a solid state drive in the future and your pc will fly.

Building pc is not that difficult but if you havent done it before try to get somone who has to help you.

Make sure you do a lot of research before .

What games could I run with this computer? Would I be able to upgrade to nvidia cards in the future?

 

[mickyflinn]

You will be able to run all games depending on the resolution, but the 7850 can handle most up to 1080p.

The system doesnt discriminate against AMD or Nvidia gpu's, any will work as long as your power supply is adequate to power the gpu.

Thanks lads! ))
