Hi guys and gurls,
Please tell me what you think about this for a gaming computer. Due to certain difficulties these pcs cannot be built but have to come "pre-configured" ;)


Intel Core 15-4670 with Intel Graphics 4600 (3.4 Ghz, 6MB Cache, 4 cores) Intel H81 Express, RAM 8 GB 16Mhz DDR3 SDRAM (4x2)
HDD: 500 GB SATA (7200 rpm)
Slim SATA DVD ROM, NVDIA Geforce GT 630 (2GB) FH PCIe x 16, 500 PSU, 2 fans & PCI-E Slot
 
The GT 630 is a very crap video card, but otherwise it looks okay.
 
hmm, wish I could - these are going to be set up in three of our libraries.
How crap is it? what will be the type of games that will be doing "well" on this?
I might still have a chance to change - something not too expensive? Recommendations?
 
Do you have access to a more powerful machine?
Have you considered Steam streaming?

You stream the game via a more powerful machine which does the work basically.

No Steam - No online games. We are battling enough with the connectivity in our Cyber cafës.

Well then accept that you will only manage to play games on low.
Not much you can do about it.

My son used to have a 630 albeit with a slower processor and it could run Saints Row 4 on low.
Batman Arkhum Asylum, low.
etc.
 
So what will be a nice mid range that can handle most of the games on proper settings, any Ideas?
I need to replace my old 5770HD
 
Was considering buying a new rig at the upcoming rAGE expo. Would the prices of pcs and components be cheaper in your guys' opinion?
 
I had a GT630 until recently, upgraded to a GTX750ti

The GT630 could still handle games from about a year back, but it was really struggling with CoD:Ghosts and AC4 (although it could run it).

Go for a midrange GPU, it will last you longer. The GT630 will start to disappoint sooner rather than later.
