I want to buy a gaming PC and saw these specs, i was wondering if they are any good for playing AAA game titles

AMD RYZEN 5 3400G 3.7GHZ QUAD CORE PROCESSOR
8GB CORSAIR LPX DDR4 3000MHZ
RADEON RX 580 8GB GRAPHICS CARD
OR
GEFORCE GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB GRAPHICS CARD
Which graphics card is better?

Those are the main components, comes with a SSD and other stuff but with those, will it do the job?

Thanks

What's your budget?

I'm guessing this is prebuilt, what sort of games is it you'll be playing? Anything in particular?

Yes it is, i would build it myself but i can get a interest free finance option with this, i dont have the immediate capital to build one with parts

I wanna play like war thunder, pubg, fortnight, Call of duty etc, with the future trying to invest in a VR headset

@Space Monkey knows more about the financial side than myself, 10 months interest free sounds good to me... The parts you've listed are OK depending on the price you've seen it for, The RX580 would be my choice personally, more VRAM for demanding games.

I saw this for £779 on another website, comes with a 240GB ssd and a 1Tb harddrive and windows 10. Does this seem fair or a total rip off?

Tbh you could get better for almost £800... I wouldn't bother with a HDD, I'd go 1tb SSD, that's more than enough... Windows can be had for a couple of quid but I can guarantee the shop/site your looking at is charging mega bucks for Windows :eek:

They are charing £90 for windows 10 but i can see that i can get it online for around £20 elsewhere.
So all in all its charing £689, is that still a bit of a rip off?
 
I saw the OP's link before it was removed and the psu make, model and capacity were not stated so probably the cheapest junk they have. A 3400G along with a dedicated gpu is a strange choice of cpu as well. I would have thought a 3600 would have been a much better choice although it does bump the price up.

Exactly what I was thinking, why spend money on the 4 core APU when you can get more cores/threads for a tad more, even if you went with last gen 2600 and pair with a dedicated GPU...
