    Hey Guys,
    Tuggers03 Here,

    So, sadly my computer broke a few weeks ago, and I am searching for a new one. I am no 'expert' with computer parts, so I thought I'd ask for help here.
    So, what do you think of this configuration and would it run games like Minecraft alright?
    *Wait's for people to scream "ARGH! IT'S AMD! KILL IT!!!"*

    CPU: AMD A6 6420K 4.0Ghz Dual Core
    Cooling: AMD Heatsink & Fan
    RAM: 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
    Motherboard: GIGABYTE F2A55 M-ATX
    Hard Drive: 1TB SATA 3.5" HDD
    Optical Drive: Liteon 22X DVD Rewriter
    Audio: ALC887 8-Channel HD Audio
    Video Card: AMD Radeon 8470D

    So that's basically it. I'd love to hear some feedback on what you think of this Configuration.
    Thanks for reading and have a great day!
    ~Tuggers03

    Get a laptop w/ 8GB RAM instead. The thing that matters though, is the graphics card and video card drivers.

    I would do this, but I only have a budget of €600 including Monitor, OS and Keyboard.

    I believe I've got the same video card. Runs quite smoothly, but if you're planning on running games like GTA5, you might want something a bit better.

    I'll have a look at that. Thanks.

    That's alright. I wouldn't be running things like GTA5 anyway. Thanks for your feedback. :smile:

    Laptops aren't meant for gaming. ._.

    Right now I am to lazy to build a computer for you or to look your self-made computer up.
    That's why I'm going to leave a link down below.
    You might want to ask someone else and somewhere else to help you.
    Google -> computer forum [preferad language] -> register -> ask them


    550€ gaming PC without OS, monitor, CD-R(W) drive, keyboard, mouse, (...)

    They also have a 400€ computer for "basic" gaming.

    As far as I know i7 is kinda a waste of money. You can save some money by buying a i5 quad-core. I may be wrong though.

    You cannot expect that a 280€ laptop to be good for gaming.
    btw. that laptop looks at the first glance fishy.
    Like... Seriously?

    Just going to leave this here.
    What do the numbers mean?
    and you might want to google why you shouldn't save money on a cheap power supply. :wink:
    I mean I cannot even tell if it fits in your computer, how much it costs or how much watt it has.
    Facepalm ._.

    The parts I listed in the OP are parts of a pre-built computer, so there should be no compatibility issues. The power supply is:'450 Watt 80+ A/PFC PSU ' Thanks for the link explaining the numbers.
    And what's with the Facepalm?

    You are welcome and as I said before.
    Higher number ≠ better performance
    Furthermore, pre-built computers are kinda a waste of money and that's a fact. :smile:
    If you can't or you just don't want to build a computer on your own, many sites offer you the option to select the parts and they will build it for you (in exchange of a small fee (20-30€) of course).

    Edit: In the end I can tell you just my opinion and I just have some basic knowledge. You have to decide it by yourself since 600€ is a lot of money and you shouldn't spent it carelessly.

    Mmm. Thank you. I do know a computer guy who lives nearby, so if I did decide to buy just the parts, I might be able to pay him to assemble it.
    Thanks, once again.

    There are good deals out there for laptops that have great graphics capability. My suggestion is to get a laptop with an amd a-10 series processor, those have beastly graphics capability, my friend with an a-10 laptop gets good framerates in most games, and it can even play battlefield with a bit lower of a resolution and detail settings. That should give you the best bang for the buck, and it will have everything you need (I would recommend using a real mouse though)
