New PC Spec - is it good enough?

[tomes]

Hi - I am thinking about purchasing a new desktop PC. I am not an expert so just wanted to see if you guys think this spec is good or not. I will use the pc mainly for work/ browsing and occasionally gaming. My friend said that building your own pc may be better but I simply don't have the time and knowledge to embark on such a task so I am thinking of getting a decent tower/ display instead. Also please could let me know if this PC would be able to stream movies in 4k definition? Many thanks for your help!

Browsing, spreadsheets, watching films - yes.

Gaming? Not very much. It could run some games at lowest settings, but dependant on the games you expect to play, you should really get a pre-built with a dedicated graphics card.

The 3400G processor has built-in graphics, which aren't that great if you want to game.

The 3400g will play games at lower settings. Have a look for yourself:

Obviously not as well as a dedicated graphics card. For occassional gaming it's up to you to decide really. What I would say is, if you go with it makes sure you get 16gb RAM, as the video ram comes out of system memory.
