Let's just say my newest game is Skyrim, so I'm not all that familiar with the requirements of the newest games, other than I know that GTA V and W3 like quads.
I have several potential gaming rigs to offer a friend's daughter, for a belated Christmas present.
1) Dual-core G3258, not currently OCed, on an ASRock H81 mobo, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, R7 250X 2GB DDR3. Would need a legit copy of Windows, so extra $$$.
2) Quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8Ghz AM3, in an AM2+ mobo with NV chipset, 2x4GB DDR2 (only two RAM slots), GT740 1GB GDDR5, includes legit Win7 64-bit, currently has 120GB SSD.
3) Pre-built Lenovo with a Sandy Bridge i3 CPU, 3.4Ghz, Windows 8 pre-installed, 500GB HDD, 4GB DDR3 (can add 4GB), need to add GPU (have either GT740 1GB GDDR5 or GTX750ti 2GB GDDR5 to drop in). Have SSD to add, would put a fresh copy of 8.1 on, using legit key embedded in BIOS.
The daughter mentioned playing the newest Saint's Row game, and "newer games". Don't know if she specifically wants to play GTA V or Witcher 3, but I thought that I would try to leave that option open.
Edit: I also have R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 video cards, and 450W NAXN as well as 735W (max) RaidMax PSUs. But I'd have to get payment from said friend for major upgrades like that.
