Looking for new PC

[magic452]

I looking at this, what do you think? It's a Tiger Direct bear bones build.
I most certainly don't want to try to put a system together. All this stuff passed me by years ago. My HO model railroad is enough frustration for me at the moment.

I mostly play SH4 but some day may try 5 or a good flight sim.

For $635.00 seems pretty good.

If you only play Silent Hunters, don't worry about it man. I have been playing it on my Surface Pro tablet!

I think the rig is pretty good but the RAM is quite low.
I thought even an FX8350 would do, but you went all the way!:D

I have an olde AMD Phenom II X6 1100t and that seems to kick all games to date out of the way with ease, runs Silent hunter 5 at over 70 FPS on max settings, but it puts the heat onto my old and defective Nvidia GTX 570 that seems to hate being a graphics card and doesn't like doing anything heavy.

I would recommend an SSD or a Western Digital Black 7200 RPM Mechanical drive, because I am pretty sure the blue's are 5600 and they are not as fast.

Other than the RAM and HDD, I think it would knock every game to date away.
