???

It is prebuilt and I play games such as Runes of Magic and Battlefield 3 and sometimes Far Cry 3 :)
Im not looking for 100fps haha i only need around 40-50 fps so is this good enough for that ????
 
Not with that graphics card it isn't. I have doubts about my 6950 managing those framerates in something like far cry 3.

What is the budget for your system?
 
It's not that good. Both the CPU and graphics card are rather poor.

What is your budget?

Does it have to be a prebuilt or would you be willing to have a go at self building?
 
I am looking for a prebuilt around 500-600 euro max can you help me with it i live in ireland so i cant order from newegg or anything...oh and i play at 1024x768 resolution

Any reason for going prebuilt? We could get you better hardware with your budget and it honestly isn't all that hard to put together. Plus we will answer any wuestions you have no problem.
 
Ok i would appreciate it :) I was aobout to build a pc a while back but it turned out like 800 euro so im kind of not willing to give that much...All i need is around 50 to 60 fps on medium settings and on runes of magic around 50 on high.i hope im not asking for much for 500-600 euro...

There is plenty of people on this forum, and also videos on youtube that can help you with building your rig. You have to study them a bit, but it is worth it for how much it saves you financially.

I am sure one of the guys who sort the specs out will appear shortly, so to summarise you need just a base unit? And have around 600 euros to spend. Looking for good performance but not top. How much does that work out to in £? As that is what the price be on here.
 
If you are a casual gamer get a graphic card only and save the money for next time
You might need a PSU as well
The cpu will run ok for 1-2 years to come

That is 505 pounds to be exact and yes i am not a high end gamer just a casual "for fun" gamer. The PC i have now is around 7 fps on low settings and its very very old. So i want something mid range that will do just fine !
 
If you don't need an operating system included in the budget, this is about as good as you'll get pre-built:

a 6670 is about the equivelent of the integrated graphics on the a10 i believe and it will crossfore with the igp on the quad core apu, not amazing but wil probably perform better than expected. medium/high dx9 on most things. but with the ps4 out soon, and dx11 becoming mainstream, a lot of games may stop supporting dx9 fairly soon so wont last that long.

bf3 running with a 6670 but with only 1 gig with a worse cpu that wont crossfire with it on 720p dx9 high:

You will get a lot of people pointing you toward an Intel setup, mate, I know 600 is a lot of money but in PC building its not. You are constantly trying to get components that you think will provide you with upgrades in the future and by the time you have got a PC spec together, its way over budget.
I'm sure someone will be along to spec a better system soon :)
Edit, the AMD Trinity route looks very promising for a budget PC also, google it and see if it covers your needs.
