Console player looking to buy first gaming pc

[wildjackson]

Hi there,

I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I've been an xbox/playstation player all my days, got all the consoles but want to get into gaming pc's, I've seen a pcs for sale near me and was just wondering if it's good for a beginner and good for games like bodycam/delta force/kingmakers just some of the games I'm looking to play. The spec is -

Predator Orion 3000 (PO3-650) Gaming PC: Perfect condition with original box & glass panel OS - Windows 11 GPU - Geforce RTX 4070 CPU - Intel Core I7 13700F (16 Cores) RAM - 16GB STORAGE - 1 TB NVME M.2 & 2 TB HDD COOLING - NOCTUA NH-U9S (CPU fan) & NOCTUA NF-A9 (Exhaust fan) pre-installed + original front & GPU fans

Thanks for any help!

What is the price?

Is it second hand or new?

Hi there, the price is 880 but open to offers and it's used, he said around 6 months

Nah avoid those machines trust me lol

Yeah, why?? I thought the spec wasn't too bad?

 

[wildjackson]

Trust me I worked on that Acer. It's bad.

Just get regular components, either build yourself get a mate who knows PC's or get a shop to build one for your with standard parts

Thanks for that. Is there a spec you could recommend for games like bodycam/delta force etc. Thanks

The spec is good, I'm presuming hornetstinger is probably talking about the quality of the parts, rather than the spec?

Thanks again. I'm not a serious gamer, just the weekends when I get a chance. Been playing ps5 but there's not much choice for games these days, that's why I'm thing of getting a pc, much more choice

what is your budget? Do you need monitor, keyboard and mouse as well?

I would say up to 1500 and I'm thing of using my samsung 8k tv and I would like it in the livingroom

 

[wildjackson]

essh that's the problem you have a 8K TV?? That'll be pushing hardware pretty hard.

Ideally you'd want to be using 1440 at that budget?

Thanks for that. Any sites you would recommend to have a look at for a pc? Also, just had a quick look, is the GeForce RTX 3090 good for 8k
