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.

Thats a relatively new system that would play most new games on high settings. Not sure on your local pricing, Im guessing Netherlands but seems fair to me, and the components are all decent quality.
