its ok but some of the specs seem too cheap for that price. The ram is only 1333 which is not really a big problem. Plus the psu is only 300w so you can sort of say goodbye to upgrading unless you get a better one. Other than that, the card seems ok and the cpu is fine. You probably would want to play on high instead of ultra because it seems there will be a noticeable lag.

hmm Decent GPU, I use the same MB and it fits me well, but as another user said, the PSU isn't recommended. If you want to be open to actually decent upgrade options in the future, the 300w won't cut it. If you do replace it, go 450 or above for some breathing room.

Well playing on a screen that big, well there is going to be so much lag mabey. The bigger the screen means higher resolution so be careful with it.

What? In no way is that correct. Just because a TV is bigger does not mean it has a higher resolution. OP, I'm assuming (hoping, actually) your 32" is 1080p. Let me put it in lay-mans terms, you'll get the same fps whether you're gaming on a 22", 32", heck, even a 42". The size doesn't matter (insert sexual pun here), all that affects the GPUs performance is resolution. Whether the tv is small or big, if the resolution is the same, the GPU has to fill in the same number of pixels.

However, I don't suggest gaming on a 32" tv because most of them aren't exactly meant for gaming. Most have high response time which serious gamers wouldn't find adequate. Many gamers choose monitors with 2ms response time as it is quick and many monitors are made like that. But unlike monitors, a television will normally have a response time of 5ms and above. Like I said, only serious gamers will gripe about 3ms, but it is something to consider. I wouldn't play any fps or racing games on your tv, but for MMOs you won't notice the difference.

As for the computer itself, I cannot advise it. As mentioned previously, the PSU is terrible, especially if you plan on upgraded the GPU anytime in the future. You would be better off building your own pc, but I understand some people are against this idea for their own reasons. If you are open to building your own PC, you can build a replica of the one you posted for significantly less (not that i'm suggesting that, but I'm saying you can save a lot of money). Either way, never ever ever buy pre-built. Not only for the fact that they cheap out on things like the PSU, but where's the customization in it?! If you don't wanna buy your own, I suggest using a site where you pick the parts and they put it together for you and ship it to you (cant name any off the top of my head, sorry). While the cost may be more, you'll have the safety of knowing you won't screw anything up, and you'll still be able to pick the specific parts you want.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

You're very wrong, in fact it's quite the opposite. The larger the screen size, the lower the pixel density, and if you're watching the display from the same distance, the smaller the display the greater the quality will appear to be - it's just how it is.

Here's a good video:



OP: You're going to struggle with the terrible 300W PSU in the future, as well as the 7750.

Looks like you can overclock well with that board, and with that processor to about 4.3-4.5 GHz, as long as you get an aftermarket CPU cooler. I recommend the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If I had to pick parts for a computer on a website, it would be this setup expect with a bit larger psu. I am also not that experienced in putting computers together. I'm sure I could try but I would end up misplacing a component and not being able to find the problem. I am looking at a monitor right now with a 21" screen and a 2ms response, good enough? I would also like to hear your opinion on this graphics card and processor as I have researched these and they seem to be able to handle most game fairly good for the price. Most of the reviews stated " got the bang for the buck" :p
Thanks for your feedback.

Well, you have to start somewhere. Of course a first time builder isn't going to be experienced. Luckily there are numerous VERY descriptive tutorials online showing you how to build a pc with ease. Actually, I think it's easier for people to start off with cheap custom builds, that way if you mess something up it's not like you wasted $1000. But, like I previously said, I understand why people don' want to build their own PCs, and I'm not going to pressure you into (not specifically you, but some people just aren't good with their hands). Swing by r00ts Custom PC BUILD thread, it provides so much information on building your very own pc. The thread also provides links to videos which will show you how to put together a pc from scratch. Even if you aren't considering building your own, it has tons of info that can teach you a lot.

Can you please provide a link to the monitor you are taking a look at? This is totally a personal thing, but a 21" is too small for me. I'm sure it'll be fine for you, though. Larger monitors can sky-rocket in price, so I have nothing against small monitors.

I'm sorry to let you down, but I am by NO MEANS a GPU or CPU expert. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing (Hey, at least i'm not lying to you and telling you to buy something to make myself look smarter). With that being said, I can say that the 7750 is a good gpu and will handle modern games on decent settings. Future-proof? Probably not. You might need to end up upgrading in the next year or so if you want to keep up with technology. With a good PSU, that shouldn't be a problem. As for the CPU, I don't know a whole lot about AMD processors, so I would get someone else opinion on it.

I hope i'm helping you come to a conclusion on what you want to buy. Don't rush anything, take your time picking out exactly what suits you best.

edit: here is the link to r00ts thread, check it out: Custom PC Build Thread (the thread is a "work in progress", so take that as you will)

Also, another thing I don't like about pre-built is you are paying for Windows 7 which you could get for free. Also, the pc you linked to comes with a cheap keyboard and mouse combo, which i'm sure they included in the price. So you're saving more money. Thought I'd add that in

The 2MS response time is most likely a 2MS (GTG) monitor. Obviously, it's still going to be very very good, but just for the future, so that you know not to get ripped off, 5MS standard response time > 4MS GTG response time.
