Michelin wrote Going to buy a computer of a mate as he is upgrading. Im a first time PC gamer, wondering will this be good enough and if its a good price

Specs:
ASRock A75M-HVS
AMD A8 3.00GHz Quad core APU
AMD HD7750 w/ 2 GB DDR3 RAM
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1TB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Tower only for £250

For the price yes, in general no

I mean, I would save more and find a better PC as you won't be able to run a whole lot of games on high/ultra.

Thanks for the response. Think ill buy it anyway and upgrade it myself if I have to. Was thinking of upgrading ram and other things anyway.

Best of luck to ya! What games are you going to be playing?

Just a tip, upgrading RAM wont give you much more FPS than upgrading your CPU would so Id concentrate on that first.

When you have enough cash, make another topic of what you want to upgrade and your budget and im sure we could think of something

It's not a bad rig for the price, gotta admit.

Depending on the APU used, there is a possibility of Crossfiring with the GPU in the APU for that extra little performance boost.

@Xliggy: Upgrading to faster RAM will help with FPS when using an APU, why, i don't know. But it has been proven to help in the past.

Faster RAM, yes but adding more in general, no.

You could save yourself some cash dollah and try to overclock your ram to faster speeds.

Thanks for the responses. Will look and see what I can do.

I wont be playing many heavy load games anyway, i am mostly a console gamer just want a PC that will run a few games.

considering thats a fpu(not real quad core) i wouldnt get it cause its an apu if im not mistaken they removed the 5000 6000 and 7000 gpus/igpus from reciving drivers updates unless you are going to use the crimson beta driver(best driver i used yet) i would buy it and later down the line upgrade the ram to 16gigs(games are starting to use 8gigs/6gigs) the apu with a fx chip the gpu is still alread windows 7 is obsolete nowadays with windows 10 out if you do buy it the cpu will maybe over heat alot considering it is not a real quad core cpu
