Are These Stats Worth $250 in a Computer(Gaming)?

Long story short, my uncle builds gaming desktops.

He has known I have been without a good desktop/gaming device for some time now, and my phone is so buggy with Toram that I had to stop playing for a /very/ long time. However, he's rebuilding his old gaming desktop for me for a solid $250 bucks. (USD)

I just wanted to inquire with all of you if I'm getting a good deal, and if it can load the things I need it to. Sadly, I might have to find an emulator on the internet to play toram again because my phone just doesn't work with toram anymore. I'm not looking to cheat, I'm just looking to be able to play again, as I miss playing Toram so much.

So, to you my fellow forumers, is this worth $250? Keep in mind, some of these stats are custom because he literally pieces computers together in order to create very good gaming desktops/laptops.

CPU: i7
Windows: 10
RAM: 30gb
Disk Space: 4TB
Graphics Card: Whatever in sam heck he put in there (He mentioned that it was ideal for gaming)
GPU: I actually dont know this one, but he told me it's "Above Average"
Coming with: Built in microsoft products such as office, and he's also throwing Sony Vegas Pro because I loved creating videos way back when. He's also including a rainbow LED back lit keyboard, and rainbow LED back lit gaming mouse with 6 buttons including the two that you normally use and the scrolling thing in the middle.

So, what do you all think? I never have really been one to familiarize myself with this, so I just wanted YOUR in take on it.
Have a pleasant day. <3

 

Depends on what i7 is that. Also depends on the video card.

 

Are u sure its 250? What can ur uncle build for 150?

 

Ask your uncle to make it cheaper by removing the graphics card.

Buy an RX 460 - 570 instead.

 

What if the board is using NVIDIA slots... Wasted moneh bruh.... There are boards for AMD and boards for NVIDIA...

Welp the most expensive part of a gaming pc is the video card and with 250usd your pretty much only getting basic stuff inside with a cool looking case

 

Lol NO
Graphic cards use pcie and you can literally plug them in any computer as long as it has a x16 slot and an adequate power supply.

Look into some youtube videos or something.
(I do take apart and maintain computers for myself or for other people. )
I can even plug any latest graphics card on a G41 motherboard btw :3

PS you should definitely look into PCI Express stuff.
Also look into why some boards are both SLI and Xfire compatible even if all they have are PCIe slots

 

Oh... So v.vards and processors are more flexible now... Cuz the last time i remember use AMD V.Vards to AMD processors and nvidia to intel processors or there are lots of graphic glitches...

 

Uh, no?
Processors (Intel & AMD) are tied to boards.

Graphic cards were never tied to anything. They've been using PCIe alots for around a decade already iirc.

I've never heard artifacting in AMD + nvidia or intel + nvidia aside from broken hardware.
You just recieved wrong info or confusing stuff.

(Hell, even AGP gfx cards are changeable between different brands)

(You can even see people putting 1080tis on supernold AMd hardware on youtube)

 

yeah it also depends on the video card. it plays a huge part when it comes to making a good pc

 

As someone that hasn't play Toram on an emulator before, i'm going to assune that Toram could be played on a toaster made by the cheapest factories in China. Correct me if i'm wrong. I personally, wouldn't worry on that it running to much.

Keep in mind that your Uncle may only be charging you for the rebuilding of the computer and likely for some new parts. Parts he used in the past may have devalued enough that he simply doesn't factor them in to the final cost.

If you could elaborate on the parts more that'd be helpful. So we can look them up and do ptice matches/comparisons. Especially the graphics card and RAM. I'm assuming the Memory cards are ddr2. Cause I wouldn't be selling 30gb worth of ddr3's for $250 alone.

It would also be helpful to know when the computer was build. As well as parts that were in the computer before he rebuilt it and what stayed in it once it was rebuilt.

I'm going to assume the keyboard and mouse are cheap "gaming" ones. Give us a company name anyway. That'll be easy to deduce simply from knowing that.

You may want to go to an enthusiast building forum/site as opposed to Toram forums. Land of phones and potato computers.

If you're saying this. Your computer probably doesn't need 30gb of RAM.

 

Are u sure its ONLY USD 250?

The proc (intel i7) itself alrd cost u more than USD250
that 30gb ram also (sounds typo for 3Gb RAM)
30Gb is more likely a total RAMs for blade server, not for personal computer

 

How the hell is a i7 CPU gonna be a total of 250 hell even everything else.

Your actually looking at a possible 1.2K or more in USD

 

Best things about mobile MMOs, they're portable and more enjoyable on any position you may feel to play it. So I don't see why you wanted play it on a PC when the game is played best on a handheld devices.

Edit: And btw those specs you posted are capable of running 5-6 virtual machines all at the same time while you're streaming the latest episode of hentai. I hope your NC be more cheaper mate.

 

True this , the specs is way too overkill for a 250$ budget lol

 

And that too. If that specs cost $250, prolly the upcoming oneplus5 be $50 . Let's keep it a bit real shall we?

 

Well it is a second hand desktop so it might not be totally unrealistic

 

Isn't Graphics Card and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) the same? o.o

If you're planning to make a Gaming computer out of this, I doubt 30 GB RAM is even necessary as 16 GB RAM up are for server/rendering use. 8 GB sounds better to me. Disk Space is totally unnecessary and around 1 TB is better unless you love downloading a lot of stuffs: video, games etc. (2 TB sounds like an ideal option too) You should mention if the i7 is a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and so on. What kinds of game other than toram are you planning to run?

Best option is upgrade your Graphics Card and downgrade the unnecessary parts like 30 GB RAM and 4 TB to buy a better GPU/Graphics Card. NVIDIA is expensive, but are lesser on power consumption in the long run. AMD is cheap but higher on power consumption.

PS: This is based on experience buy and selling computer parts and building myself (But that was way back R9 days, I haven't been updated with the RX that sounds like medicine)

 

To those questioning why i7 is cheap, I doubt its a 2nd gen or 3rd gen. That is worth around 40 USD here in our country.
