[url=http://www.walmart.com/ip/CyberpowerPC-Black-Gamer-Ultra-GUA250-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-Quad-Core-FX-4100-Processor-8GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-7-Home-Premium-with-Wind/17811825]PC[/url] , I wanted to buy a better computer for myself, but wasn't sure if this was any good. Is this desktop good for gaming (League of Legends, BF3, play games on high settings, etc) And if anyone knows where I can get a better gaming computer for around $600 please link it !

No you don't have to use their parts

7850 (with i5) will run any game on the market at maxed or almost maxed (AA turned down sometimes)[/quote]

Ahh never buy the 7850 or 7870 when you can get a 7870 LE.

Can I use this [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSNz6VVpWI8]guide[/url] to build my PC with my own different parts (Graphics card of my choice, etc.)? Can any case be used based on this tutorial? And are all cases the same format as that case that he used in the video?

Unless you lack basic literary skills, your motherboard and case manuals explain it all.

[quote=IceSin]If you buy the parts yourself and build it you could easily run BF3 on high-ultra with a $600 computer.

i3-3220 ($120)
H77 mobo ($80)
4/8 gb ram ($20-$50)
Radeon HD 7850 2 gb($180)
~500W power supply ($40 for an alright one)
500gb-1tb hard drive ($50-80)
case ($40+)
this build could max BF3 at 1080p
and it would be a lot cheaper if you get some parts on sale[/quote]

You'll want at least an i5 for battle field. GPU will probably run medium-high.

@QuantumFlux: Are you stupid? He said he's looking to find a computer that can run LoL. This can run LoL well.

@IceSin: I said in my post the GPU is garbage. It may be, but those builds don't include an OS, mouse or keyboard.

[quote=TheFatTroll]Garbage computer. The case probably cost too much just to lure in buyers with it's aesthetics.[/quote]

Why is it garbage? The FX 4100 is a perfectly good CPU. 8 GB of RAM can take you a long way. Only problem I see with it is the GPU.

I say its good aside from the graphics card. You'll need to upgrade it. I recommend a 7770 GHz edition from AMD.

Or a 650 TI BOOST from Nvidia. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125457

EDIT: If you want to upgrade the CPU as well, I recommend an AMD Phenom II x4 965. Its a solid CPU and is still considered a golden CPU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

With $600, you won't be able to run battlefield on high.

[quote=Jilip]I have this computer and i bought it from walmart too xD
I would just upgrade the graphics card and power supply when you get more money.
It runs LoL at 60 fps on high settings[/quote]
Does it run at 60fps on high settings without upgrading anything from the original way I buy the pc? (I was also reading about how the video card isn't good, but I can go buy another, just gotta learn how to put in the new vid card and take out the old once I buy this pc)

Battlefield won't run smoothly at all on that computer, but LoL will be playable. The graphics card in that computer is a GT 610 if you want to look it up.
