Hello everyone! I have made a Computer Build List and I wan't to see if it is, well... good for gaming. I tried to keep this under $500, but it wen't a little over which is fine. Just tell me if it is good for gaming or should I pick different parts.

    Your laptop seems pretty good, memory's seems a little low, but looks great.

    I don't think the GT 730 will handle many recent games. The GT series is often not as good for gaming. I suggest going for a GTX card or AMD card. A card I have and cannot recommend highly enough is the AMD Sapphire R7 265

    After seeing some comparisons, I will go with a GTX Card. Thank you for suggesting a much better card or I would have made a big mistake!  :thumbsup:

    It really comes down to preference. I am not too sure about pricing, but the best "bang for buck" at your sort of budget would be the R7 260X / 265 and the R9 270 or the GTX 750 / Ti. All are excellent cards!

    Aren't 1TB drives similar in prices to the 500GB ones? At least in the UK there is a very little difference between 500 and 1000GB drives.
