This thread is a place where fellow disciples of GabeN, and those looking for the lards light can come and discuss Games, Steam sales, Hardware, etc.     My glorious build      Specs:  Msi GD-45

This was the first new thread I saw. Now I must obligatorily post my shrine to the glorious Lord GabeN in here.

GT 610, eww. That isn't really good for gaming at all. I'd suggest replacing it with at least a GTX 750 Ti ASAP.

Also a bigger HD, 500GB is really pushing for a modern gaming rig.

Actually it's custom built, many people recommended it and the website chose the configurations for me. I can choose your recommended graphics card, however, it's two hundred extra dollars alone.

That website is shafting you pretty bad then. a 750ti FTW is like a $140-$160 card($100 on sale)

Oh. I'm just telling you though, the GT 610 is not good for gaming at all.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pqG6mG Here's something better I threw together just now. Same processor, but better motherboard, GPU, storage and RAM, and doesn't include useless extras like optical drives, because really, who uses optical media anyway? Only thing is it doesn't include an OS, but it's pretty easy to get Windows on a budget. You have to build it too, but honestly? Building a PC is entirely worth it.

Seriously though, $200 to upgrade from a 610 to a 750ti is complete con-job if I've seen one. You could buy the thing AND a 750ti to put in yourself(thus having the 610 as an emergency spare) for less than just buying it with the thing pre-installed.

I'll vouch for that case, I'm convinced you can't get anything better for the money(it even has two blue led-fans pre-installed as a nice bonus)

The finger I almost lost proves it.

I can buy something like it for 30 dollars lol.

 

Like the Radeon HD 5450 for example, very cheap and very good for gaming.

It was all I had during the time I owned it... it could smoothly play Fallout 3 and Saints Row on the highest settings possible.

Mind providing some numbers to back up this claim?

 

Honestly, you'd be better off with the integrated graphics on an Intel processor or an AMD APU than you would be with a GT 610 or Radeon HD 5450.

I don't see why it really matters... I was happy with it.

I would to, even my 750ti sees some minor stuttering and FPS drops in FO3 maxed out, I imagine something like the 610 would be more along the lines medium settings.

People still use integrated graphics? Lol.

 

It's nice if you're building a really cheap system for just internet browsing and light gaming.

I really don't know how to confirm this to you.... maybe with some screenshots?
