Fergal Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Holy shit. That's cheap as shit. Considering the price drop, you wouldn't custom built it that cheap, unless you maybe bought the shittest H77 mobo and a $10 PSU. Don't like locked processors though. And a 7770 will run games just fine, although I'd stay away for Cyrsis 3 on high res. and ultra settings. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I will add the caveat: it is refurbished. But imo, with that hardware for that price, who cares? CPU alone is probably almost half the total price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as a deal it is, Its A, A Dell, and B, An Intel CPU Both overpriced branded names, that are great if you have the dollar to afford them, the GPU is equivalent to my GTX550, which Fergal, handles the Crysis 3 demo on ultra ok.And David, just because i say making your own pc is better doesn't mean i wouldn't buy a pre-built one, i just have the family to do so if anything goes wrong if i fuck up my build, only reason i build my own comps etc,Also, apon looking up part prices, that is the price for most of the parts on thier own anyway, minus the fact you would need a case and psu etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saucy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 im buying that same gpu soon. from what ive read it handles most games on high/ultra with a few exceptions of course. other than that, that computer overall is pretty similar to mine except i only have 8Gb of ram, and a smaller HDD which doesnt really matter as mine is big enough as is.

Daniel Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 What frame rate are you getting and at what resolution? 60-90, it fluctuates without vsync, so i leave it on and get 60 dead, and 1920x1080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saucy Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 How much did it cost you?i think i bought the computer in 2011 for somewhere around $630 i think. the new card costs $120 so that will put total value at around $750. the shipping on it was another 75 fucking dollars though so i guess you could include that to the value if you really wanted to. overall youre getting a good deal on it for a pre-built pc versus buying one directly from dell. i bought mine from cyberpowerpc which offered the best bang for the buck for a pre-built computer that i could find at the time. you are also able to build a custom pc on their website and they build it for you. i also got some free games with it which was a plus i guess.
