are these gaming pc specs good?

Matty172 · Feb 21, 2015

I want a good pc for gaming, but not hardcore gaming. i want a pc that will be good to play Minecraft and record at the same time (i will play other games too just Minecraft is the first one that came to my head)

so here are the specs:

- AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB
- AMD FX-4300 CPU
- 8GB 1600MHz Memory
- 500GB 7200RPM HDD
- ASUS 760G Chipset Motherboard
- 430W Corsair CX Power Supply
- DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW
- Microsoft Windows 8.1

The computer is a Digital Storm VANQUISH II, and like i said, i will be playing other games with it too, i will also upgrade too, but just for now, is this a pretty good Desktop? the computer itself is 700 dollars and i know nothing about computers

It's alright, try getting a 6 core CPU as recording uses more cores and maybe another hard drive or even a SSD to write your recording files to.

Hope this helps

It's alright, without recording you should be able to play most games at max settings, but recording takes a lot of power. You should be able to do something like Minecraft, but anything higher while recording may cause lag. At medium settings you should be able to play and record almost any game though. There are better PC's out there for $700, so it's kind of up to you if you want this one or not. If you do upgrade, get a better GPU, that radeon isn't the best.

This build is awesome for the price, would beat your other one by quite a margin. Also has an i5 which is massively better than the fx4300!
