As someone who doesn't have the time to learn how to build a PC (I've taken a look at some stuff at /r/buildapc and pcpartpicker, is there any suggestions anyone can make for a prebuilt PC that will run low end games well as well as speed through every day, non heavy multicore activities, such as Word or 6/7 tabs in Chrome?
I took at look at this http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/vpMnTW/entry-level-gaming-buil…, and would very happily build that PC with a tutorial as easy as that, however with all the comments suggesting the RX470 over the 1050Ti, and starting to suggest other motherboards than what was in the video, I'm not sure I have the time to be able to work it out for myself.
you don't have to build a PC, since shops like MSY and UMARt do actually put custom builds together. For a price, of course.
All you need is just a list of things you want and the money to pay for the build :)
the correct link to the AU website is http://au.pcpartpicker.com/guide/vpMnTW/entry-level-gaming-b…
otherwise the pricing will be in US dollars
And yes, there is a comment talking about how the GTX 1050Ti is bad value, and it really is, even when talking about Australian pricing, the GTX 1050Ti is $240 dollars Aussie but the much, much faster Radeon Rx470 is $285 dollars.
If we use a bit of math we find that 17 percent price increase gives roughly 50% performance improvement. It makes more sense to go with the Radeon option.
Also the case on that build is a bit expensive. If you choose the Deepcool Tesseract case, you can save about $60 dollars on the build. It's a cheap case with a few flaws but it's not bad at all.
