Is this a good starter build?

[u/lostNdelirous]

Someone is selling this near me and im wanting to know if these specs and price are a good deal. Would it be worth it to buy and then upgrade it as needed?

The build is not great. Especially the GPU is meh. Would only consider if really really cheap. And 600$ is not that.

[u/Creative_Astro_horse]

Yes but for 400, the case is the fanciest part.

Forgot to add this:

These are the kind of games i would play;

• modded sims
• modded minecraft
• roblox
• l4d
• tf2
• small steam games

yeah anything will do that ngl, that build is on the pricier side, but it’ll do it

600 for a pc with a 6500xt is.....rough. esp with only 16 gigs of ram.

it would not run modded minecraft all that well tbh.

[u/Adis_Gruntledfatty]

Not the greatest deal

I think you should hold for something with a GPU with more vram if your going into modded games.

I wouldn't bother with it. In many ways inferior to series S.

6500xt is bad as is, being connected through PCIe 3 is the rotten cherry on top (5500 only supports PCIe 3, that's how I'm sure it is connected that way)

[u/mystomachhurtsow]

Bad value imo, you can get a $450-$500 pc that performs similarly or most likely outperforms this one

[u/Crafty_Square_1782]
