Buying a computer for games, question.

[Geert98]

Hello everyone!

Currently I am playing on an older computer with these specifications ;

Intel core i7 7700k @4.2Ghz (quad core)
STRIX Z270H GAMING (LGA1151)
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1499MHz
1080 GTX

The problem I have with recent games is low FPS, I was looking into upgrading my graphics card, but I think the CPU might also be the bottleneck.


Now I came across this computer, it's also a little older but newer than what I have now. Would this be good to play the latest games, on lower settings? I do play on 1080p, also the person is asking for this second-hand computer 750 euro / 800 dollar, is this a fair price?


AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (6 cores / 12 threads / 32MB L3 Cache / 5.150 MHz Turbo)
NZXT Kraken X62
ITX B650I Night Devil
32 GB Dual Channel DDR5-4800 Hynix
RTX 3070 XC3 Black Gaming 8GB GDDR6 (3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI)
Corsair SFX SF500 600W 80+ Gold
2.5GB Ethernet / Intel WiFi 7250
Cooler Master NR200P
SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB nVME

could you please tell me what games you are having low fps with , i had a new custom built rig made for me , it is 8 years old and the gtx 1080 like you have had just come out. It can handle anything i throw at it. The only game i get low fps on is a construction game called satisfactory , i only get around 25 fps but their are several reasons for that , it is a power hungry game and my layout is huge , the more factories you make the bigger the demands on the pc. I dont have bionic eyes sight but if i did not have the fps counter on i would not know i have low fps because to my eyes at least , the graphics look ok.
