New system...

Pc-Gamer12 · 23 Jun 2013 at 17:18

Hi guys,

Can someone recommend me a prebuilt system for around £650 inc OS, that can play games like sim city, battlefield 3, call of duty and planet side 2 at around 40fps on high if not max settings.

I only need the tower and OS nothing else

Thanks

No, BF3 can be a very CPU intensive game.. The 4300 is not a great CPU atall and will hold you back no end, the 7770 is an okay card but not amazing as BF3 can use a lot of VRAM (more than 1GB)...

I'd build myself if i were in your shoes:

Something like this:

I'd really prefer not to build, I could maybe stretch to £750 if you could recommend a prebuilt system ?

Thanks

Would the above system handle battlefield ok ?

Doomedspeed · 23 Jun 2013 at 22:24

Yes, certainly a lot better than the 4300 pre built.

NathWraith · 24 Jun 2013 at 09:56

I can ouch for the titan dagger system.

The HD 7850 is a great card too, handling most of the latest games with ease! BF3 will play no problem on that system.

PC's have changed so much these days, hard to keep up if you've been away for a while
