Hi there,

So I'm getting a secondary pc for my brother for gaming and max budget is 40k with pc, lcd, gpu.

I saw alienware r2 being getting sold on olx by the shopkeeper having a stock of it with the specs below.
Processor: i3 4th gen (over clock locked)

Mobo: not sure which one

Ram: 8gb ddr3 1600

Ssd: intel 180gb sata iii 100% health (used)

Gpu: nvidia gtx 645 1gb ddr5 128bit

Lcd: 19 inch crystal bright (rs3500/-)

For 40k

But that's obvious that I can built 6th gen in 45k but my brother like the design and dimension of alienware r2 x51 as it is a tiny form factor which will stay on desk easily.

So if I go with 6th gen then I need small chassis for it and that's expensive though the budget for case is 5k I really like thermartake versa n21 but thats bigger and massive.

So if i upgrade alienware with amd rx460 and 12gbddr3 to compete with i3 6th having rx460 and 8gb ddr4 will it get similar fps?

As alienware having used components while custom built having brand new with warranty

What to do at this point?

Wait.. what? He wants gaming machine and is more concerned about looks than performance?

Get this:
i3 6100 new/used
Mobo any supported new/used
GPU USED (search PG market place according to your budget)
Harddisk NEW (1TB)
Ram 8Gb NEW

Casing: Corsair Carbide Series 200R OR get cheap one for now and upgrade it later.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
