New gaming PC for AAMFP

[raptorhunter6]

So I will be purchasing a PC on the weekend. I've read good reviews of PC's on the same line (The Cybertron 5150 Escape) and that it can run TDD as well as most games at Ultra/MAX settings such as Skyrim. My question is can this particular PC run Pigs. I've bee waiting for it since it was announced but never did have the resources for a half-decent gaming PC and for it's price I am wondering if I can run it.

Also, this is more of a side question to those who wish to answer but if I were to end up getting it can I change Graphics card to anything more decent in the future without having to worry about Processor, CPU's and GPU's? Just a quick explanation on limits or restrictions on the actuall PC when upgrading graphics card would be appreciated. I am very new to computers(having only used laptops before as my main computer source) and just want to play Pigs.

Thanks for your time!

It can run the Pigs but the 6670 is a lower-end 6000 series graphics card and you might not be able to play at maximum. Especially when it comes to other games, you won't play at maximum.

The motherboard has a PCI Express slot so when it comes to graphics cards, whatever you want. It depends on the power supply and the case space as well though.

You can customize this pc here: http://www.cybertronpc.com/Customkititem...y=1&Source= .Unless you have already ordered that pc, maybe I can suggest a better configuration as allowed by the manufacturer.

I haven't ordered yet actually and am open to suggestions

Also thanks for responding quickly.

What's your price-point?

[raptorhunter6]

Well anything below $1000 would be my target price although I understand it might not be exactly a good price point for a good gaming PC. I 'm just aiming for something that'll allow me to play Pigs at High/MAX graphics settings at a decent price as possible. Speaking for everyone here, thank you for taking time to help us.

He wants a ready machine, pre-built and not assemble it himself. Also, as far as I understand it has to be that system mentioned in the beginning. It is true that you can get a better system by selecting parts but most people don't know what to do with them afterwards.

Btw, 71€ for an optical drive? LOL!

It's a blu-ray burner and one of the best out there with MO-disc support and many other features. I think, when he wants to buy a new computer, then with a blu-ray drive.

Almost all people nowadays buy the cheapest dvd-rom they can find below 20$. They only people who watch blu-ray is PS3 users and those few who rent them. What I mean to say is that for a suggestion, you start with the normal cheap sub-20$ dvd-rom drive and if the other one tells you that he/she must have blu-ray capability, then go ahead and suggest it.
