Is this setup ok for gaming?

[saburation]

My parents want to buy my nephew a pc that will run the latest games on it such as the Witcher 2 etc. I came across this:

MB-SE350M1W Sapphire E350M1 White pure fusion all-in-one Motherboard with Integrated AMD E350 dual core CPU

Product Summary
Sapphire E350M1 White pure fusion, all-in-one with Integrated AMD E350 dual core CPU, AMD FCH A50 chipset, 2x DDR3-1066, 4x sata6G, on-board Radeon HD6310 DirectX11 1Gb UMA VGA with triple -output (HDMi + d-sub + DVi) + 5.1 audio + gigabit LAN; 1x PCI-e(16x), no USB3.0 - mini-iTX

I know this may sound like a stupid question but I just want to make sure:

1. Will this run the latest games?
2. It does include a graphics card, mainboard and CPU?

Thanks.

1. The integrated CPU's are low power/low performance. So no.
2. Yes, its mobo/gfx/cpu.

I might consider one of these for an HTPC though

the mentioned pc will not be good for gaming.whats ur budget?

You can forget about Witcher 2. Try adding about r4000 to that budget and you'll be getting somewhere. The Fusion setups are purely for HTPCs and low profile rigs. The GPU and CPU are integrated into one die. They're excellent for what they offer, but not as gaming machines.

Witcher 2 is one of the most graphics demanding games out there, so there is absolutely no way that you can play it using an integrated CPU/graphics card!

I'd suggest that you look at gaming PC's starting at around R5k - like the one I suggested here: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...s-and-Advice?p=6501312&viewfull=1#post6501312

That would be better suited for a HTPC, it's not going to shine when it comes to games. It could play CoD 4 at 800x600 but wouldn't even handle Dragon Age to give you an idea.

Then again for that price it's not surprising it won't be playing all "the latest games"

If you're on a tight budget look for second had things for sale, if it's from a good seller you could get a bargain with little risk but either way it's going to cost more than the R1000 for that MB-SE350M1W Sapphire E350M1.

If you want to see how the E350 performs in games, then have a look at the following review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-e-350-atom-d525-nvidia-ion-2,2905-10.html
In most games it got less than 30fps on the lowest settings, which makes the game unplayable.

Thanks for all the help. Ill let my parents know what kind of system they will need to get.

 

[tiandup]

Yup, try adding a few grand to the budget.
