Is a PC for gaming possible for 400€?

Sylver

I think it's feasible, even with a previous generation processor and a couple of cheap graphics cards, you already have a beast to play decently on everything, and if not, keep an eye on the configurations that are still seen by the brands. The limitation already lies in time, that is, for the immediate future, in the medium term, new games begin to double their recommended requirements, and if you build a team that is very tight in terms of performance, it is possible that it will not fulfill its function beyond a year. For me, this is the main problem. As for the question of the thread, the answer is YES, it is possible.

I like the ones that come with AMD consoles

Here we do crossfire, although I agree that for very demanding games it goes just right. But you can play. I also don't understand how on a PC the game asks for more than on a console, being now the same graphics and processor as a PC, and what we should see is the quality at which the games are set, and if a PC can't run them it's because of lack of optimization. There's no other way.

I remember PCs that were assembled by Oki, trying to do the same thing they were 100€ more, in a team of 600€.

They said that APUs only did well with "dual graphics" with certain models, the A10 I think went with a 6650 and the results were not great; but I found very little info. I don't know how the A6 will be for gaming, or vs. an FX6 although this one is already skyrocketing in price. I think it's almost time for AMD's new APUs to come out, let's see how they turn out.

Well yes, I've looked it up and it's only with some very basic ones. What a strange thing they've done. Let's see how they fix it for the next processors, or if they fix it.

The processor you put in Garfield can only do crossfire with the 6000 series, not with the 7000 series
AMD A6-5400K at 3.6GHz (CPU+GPU) - Integrated Video Radeon HD 7540D GPU, 32nm, Dual Core, 1MB L2 Cache, Socket FM2.
you have to put one from the 6000 series for a 7000 series graphics card

in tests done with modern games it gives 60 frames on average
and with that memory you can improve it a little more, it would be an acceptable PC for gaming

I nailed it on the first try, if they don't change the prices tomorrow morning, it's 400 nails with the assembly :ugly: http://xtremmedia.com/?q=cconfig/view#A007068,A020143,A011938,A001845,A012139,A001240,A014283,A011964

Obione XD, the issue is to be as close as possible in price and components to the latest consoles, which by the way have 8gb of ram.

The truth is that to play console-like games at 1080 and more than 30 frames per second, you can do it with 400 euros.
I don't know who commented about the monitor for the PC setup, a console also comes without a screen. If you buy a monitor or a television, you don't save money.

That 8 gigas not even 4 quarters, you'll see how a luxury game like BF3 on maps of 64 players with 4GB :fuckyea:

Editing: Fuck, 400,20€ :ugly:

XD of course, but the thing is that it should be similar in hard to the new consoles that experiment, although I also tell you that the consoles have blue ray, and god save me from being a lover of them but for the price right now they are worth it, although the profit is in the games and accessories it is clear.
I have a ps4 on reserve you can beat me and impale me:alone:
