Come on. It's not that bad for a low-end gaming rig. It's more than enough for a League of Legends/DOTA/minecraft/random bullshite $5 steam games. I'm sure you have better performing hardware hidden in your couch cushions, though.

We all understand you two are tech enthusiasts, this machine is not intended for an enthusiast. It is intended for someone on a budget that would still like a quality gaming experience. Not everyone is as fortunate as you to afford expensive hardware.

Games this machine can run well on max settings: Mad Max, Bioshock Infinite, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Overwatch, Darksiders 2 Deathfinitive Edition, Dark Souks 2/3, ...

These are all great games that this machine can deliver on. As I've said i will be very flexible on price. I offer this in hopes it will be a gateway for a less fortunate individual to experience quality games.

Please respect my thread,

Thank you

Don't let Coyote bother you. Dude sneezes more money than most of us dump into builds. He's the outlier here.

I wasn't shitting on your rig at all, just laughing at Coyote's comment because he's never more than a couple months behind the GPU curve and probably does have a "junk" closet of parts that outperform an average gaming PC.

I don't think my rig qualifies for second place here anymore. My GPUs are over 2 years old now.

We haven't had a benchmark thread in a long time.

Wasn't trying to throw shtt. With a GPU that old you don't perform great at Medium to High settings in the latest AAA games. This is because 1 the arch is outdated and 2 the outdated arch stops getting driver support.

So that brings you to the only useful thing in that build. The PSU since the board/CPU is a little risky with that age.

Hard to believe the ones in bold. But ppl have different definitions of "Max" settings.

My 7950 was running mordor on high. 30 fps at 1080p and close to 60fps at 720p.

The CPU is a problem. It really starts to churn now days. That rig is basically a clone of my current work computer. Definitely time for a CPU upgrade.

If you are getting 30fps on that setting that isnt running on high. Again, its left to interpretation on what truly playing at a present means.

And playing anything @ 720 in 2015/16 on PC is not acceptable.

I haven't run 3DM in a long time and though I would run it but it looks like they messed it up for a lot of people with the last update, it gets stuck at collecting sys info.

I'm sorry for coming off shtty but I'm not trying to shtt in anything.

I selling arch from 2012 as a gaming PC is close to selling a PS3 in the place of a Ps4. The tech is outdated.

Reason I said it's $200 of junk. Because the OP won't sell for cheaper and only part the transitions is the PSU, case, RAM and maybe the MOBO/CPU. But you can get a $150 GPU which nearly wipes the floor of that 7950. Now that isnt even talking about software and driver issues with older archetectures.

Drivers for AAA are terrible for the most part these past few years. So running those synthetic benchmark tools just makes me depressed. I see what my system should be but it's not.
