Salaam friends,

I am interested in buying a mid end gaming rig capable of playing all new games on medium settings 1280*720 min resolution(masseffect3,deat space 3,The witcher 2,Ghost recon future soldier,MW3,BF3)..I am interested in buying a i5 first gen PC specs are as under


  • Intel Core i5 750 (clock 2.6 GHz) 8M cache
  • 3GB RAM
  • 320 GB Harddisk (Seagate)
  • MSI P55 motherboard
  • Asus casing (black)
  • Silverstone 500W power supply
  • NVIDIA GEForce GTS 250 Graphic card(PCI x16 port)
  • VGA RAM 512 MB
  • Samsung superwrite master

Price demand is 36k..Is the price suitable for above specs?
and what do experience PG members have to say about this rig?Is it sufficient for another 4 years or so?

price is not bad but at olx there is alot of wrong deals so i suggest you to either purchase a new pc or purchase from pakgamers market place.also try to purchase sandy bridge or ivy bridge processor and forget old core i series. and if you are looking for future proof you must have to choose lga1155 plateform because lga1156 is deadend plateform with no future (even lga1155 will have no future :p)

please post complete specs of your current PC, also these parts are old (1156 is old) and GTS 250 is a crap card. So sell your current PC add that money to this 36k and you could get yourself something decent

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
