What sort of performance can I expect?

Looking at this prebuilt system.

Just looking for a reasonably speced system with small form factor. Not a massive gamer, but what sort of performance can I expect from the above with default parts? Would it handle modern games at reasonable settings?

You should be able to game at 1080p and very good all round general performance, an SSD would be a good option to include.

Thanks. Do SSDs really benefit performance that much, beyond loading times?

Faster performance in all applications, once you get an SSD theres no turning back. Its a must on a modern system imo.

Look at it this way, if it takes 60 seconds to load windows and only 15 on an SSd then thats a performance increase quadruple.

Are you sticking with the stock 750ti or upgrading it? That'll be a baseline for gaming performance.

SSD's are silent too. I wouldn't build a PC without one personally

Was planning on sticking with the 750ti. TBH, for gaming I usually go with the ps4, as I'm kinda a casual player, so can't really justify the extra cost for a gpu upgrade.

I imagine I'll mostly be playing older pc games but If I could hit 30fps on modern games at 1080p max settings that would be great.

I think that on high (maybe not ultra) could be achievable. The 750ti is a great little card.

Going to have to concur with the other guys, an SSD is a great option. You won't be disappointing with choosing one!
