Is this good enough for gaming?

[anson88]

Hi, I am think of buying a pc for gaming and other stuff. My question is, are the specs down below good enough? I play games like PUBG, Fortnite, CSGO, League of Legends etc.

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad Core, 8MB Cache
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H270M PLUS CSM mATX Motherboard
Graphics: HIS Radeon™ RX 460 iCooler OC PCI-E, 2GB VRAM
Memory: 16GB DDR4-2133 RAM
Hard Drive: Western Digital Blue Series 250GB SATA SSD
Seagate: 1TB Desktop HDD w/ 64MB Cache
Optical Drive: ASUS 24x SATA DVD±RW
Chassis: MEPC EFS052 mATX Tower Case
Power Supply: Powerman 500W ATX Power Supply


This is my first time buying a pc, so idk

The 460 is probably the weakest part, but might be ok at 1080p. PubG would probably be the biggest issue.

which graphic card do u prefer

Yeah, the RX 460 is weak. Consider at least a GTX1060 6GB, or a RX 570 4GB or 8GB.

Try to get DDR4-2400 RAM, rather than 2133, if it's not much more.

Not familiar with the PSU brand, consider changing that to a Gold-rated or better name-brand PSU.

Using that website, I built a Ryzen system that should fit what you're trying to do:

Ryzen 1500x
Asus Prime B350 ATX MB
G.Skill 3000Mhz 16GB
Samsung 960 EVO 250GB NVME
Seagate 1TB 3.5" HDD
EVGA G2 550 Watt PSU
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB

This came up to $1335 CAD. You can pick out the case you want, and if you really need an optical drive (I would be surprised if you do). If you want to stick with a mATX chassis, just switch the MB to the mATX version of the same board.

This would be a far better gaming system than a 7700 + RX 460. The 7700 is a shade faster than the 1500X if you don't overclock, but the 1060 6GB is going to blow away the 460. The 7700 + 460 will not run PUBG. I have a 7700 and 560 (slightly faster than the 460), and it will not run the game even on low settings at a reasonable framerate.

Alright! Thanks for your help, I'll think about it
