technology PC Experts, does this build look okay to you?

[jackleapp81 456]

I've been looking around for a good PC for a relatively low price range, and yesterday, I stumbled across this sale on CyberPowerPC that looked pretty decent. If anybody could tell me if this build is good or bad for the price, I would very much appreciate it. If you do see some parts in there that you absolutely would not recommend, please let me know. All I'm looking for is a nice rig that can play most newer games like Battlefield 4, Titanfall, Skyrim, EVE Online, DMC, etc., at max settings with zero lag. Let me know if this machine would be capable of that

I'm not much of a computer expert, but to play those games you need a lot of GBs and that you have my friend, good find! I found one on the Best Buy site for $730.

[Untitled Goose Q 5,137]

That will do the job just fine.

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

Looks fine... Get a mechanical keyboard though! ... and an SSD if you can afford it!

What's a mechanical keyboard, and what are the benefits of having one?

 

And also, if I did order it now, would it be possible to get an SSD for it later if I didn't have one? I have an HDD, although I'm not sure which one is better.

HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)  <----- This is somewhat Decent

 

You need something around a SSD rather than a Regular drive for the best Possible use of AMD products Trust me I have built many computers before and you won't regret getting a SSD before a HDD. Reasons why?

1. Boot Time is as fast as possible
2. Game Load/Render at Maximum
3. File transfers Uses CPU/SSD Transfer rate

​Other than that go for a HDD, Your performance may Drop from inability to Maximize Utuility but that won't really matter much as it is from 60-100 Mb transfer Rate or 45-75 Frame rate.

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

 ^ Not true, AMD is adequate on hdd.

 

but I do agree with the get the SSD first part!

They're a lot better to type on, but I see you have a backlit keyboard chosen so... that works too I guess. You can go to your local best buy and try out a mechanical keyboard there in the gaming peripheral section.

 

and yes, you can get it later, though it'll be a pain in the ass to transfer your win* install to it though.

I'm not quite sure about the gpu, but everything else looks fine.

 

Edit: I did some research on the gpu and it should work fine.

Are there any benefits to having an HDD rather than an SSD?

Storage. That's all pretty much.

If you're going to get an ssd, you'll be buying the speed, but you will get a lot less storage space. I would recommend if you do want an ssd to get a smaller one for your OS paired with an HDD for your games, programs, and other files.

 

Also just want to make sure you know you have to plug your computer into your router if you want Internet.

Your telling me I have tested this way to many times and I consider more than 10 seconds a LONG time. My load time in games are around 5-14 Seconds and boot time is 4 Seconds. Then again I am using a 12000 RPM Drive and that matches or actually beats a SSD.

Faster Load/Boot Times

Thought you said SSD over HDD but yeah Storage is all, Unless you get over kill 10k plus one.

Oh alright. I'll take that into consideration

Hmm alright, I'll keep that in mind about the ssd vs the hdd

 

And lol, yes, I know that I need to plug it into a router xD

I already have one at home.

Usually i have to visually see the product you have, however, judging by the information you wrote, your system is powerful indeed.  Not recommended, but as for back up, get 2 extra computer fans or coolants, but don't put them in the rig, leave them aside just in case.

[Katana 298]

Looks good to me! Things like the SSD and a mechanical keyboard are "nice-to-have" items that you might go for when you have a lot more disposable income, and some experience taking apart computers. That may not necessarily ever happen, so I think your purchase looks like a good one.
