Sounds like you got a lower-end prebuilt. Probably has a 2nd gen ryzen 5 or 3rd gen ryzen 3, a passable chinese PSU, a GTX 1660, and a 128/256 Gb SSD.

You don't even have a graphics card dude, that's integrated graphics. The vega 11 isn't going to max much of anything at all.

Edit: It's a bit stronger than a GTX 1030 which is to say, it's a multimedia card or perhaps for low settings at 720p. It's not for maxing much of anything.

All lowest settings, rarely a steady 30fps, at 720p.

I'd recommend cancelling it and doing research on a gaming laptop for the same price tbh. It's a blessing it got delayed if you want to game on it.

It's hard to describe graphics card hiearchy on the fly but you generally want something that is an AMD x70 or x600 and up, or an Nvidia xx60 or up.

Good cards to keep an eye out for

AMD RX 470, 480, 570, 580, 5600 XT
Nvidia 1060, 1660, 1660 Super, 1650 Super.

You can get an NVIDIA RTX 2060 for around $250 right now. 2070 super for about $500 and you'll be able to max our most games with either and get a solid 60+ FPS on both. You also have the absolute bare minimum RAM right now 4gb sticks is kinda laughable in 2020 where you can get 16 gb for $70-80. That being said I wouldn't pay $500 for what you ordered especially without a GPU.

The rest looks good but you might want an SSD for your boot drive too, it'll make astronomical differences in your day to day usage. 16GB RAM is also a good baseline these days. If you want to save money I'd recommend AMD by a long mile. An RX 580 can get you 60FPS on High/Some Ultra at 1080p and shouldn't be more than $199.

No. It's integrated. Think of it not having a graphics card. You'll get low/medium on NV maybe. You're looking to max stuff which isn't gonna happen. Your baseline question should be "Will this even run at all"

Yeah, absolutely. An RX 580 is $165 on Newegg and will run those games on ultra at 1080p/60fps.

For max on older games New Vegas you can definitely get a card like an RX 580

If you want to play AAA games on ultra tho you want to shell out for a 5700 XT or a 2070 Super. It'll futureproof your system too since those cards should be good for a few years on the latest and greatest games

well if you're going to have to wait why not see if you can cancel it and just build it yourself?

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/RPTwrH/great-amd-gaming-build

you're getting spanked on that price. this is a solid build that falls under the price you paid if you ignore the listed GPU.

I dunno man Cyberpunk 2077 is gonna be damn sexy and so good to get on PC in September

Get that PC Partpicker build that monkmith posted and you'll be set for the most AAA of the AAA games through like 2024 Then you can upgrade your GPU and get some PC gaming goodness through the entirety of next gen.

Having a AAA machine for PC will change your gaming almost immediately.

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x and a Radeon 5700 XT and I'm getting 144 fps on games like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order.

For the older games on GoG or Steam it'll eat through them like nobody's business. You'll play games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim with little to no temperature change in your card on ultra getting much higher resolutions than your monitor can handle.

It's very easy but I'd still recommend watching a how-to video.

Essentially there will be 2 slots on the left side of the motherboard near the bottom. They are called PCI express slots. On the back of your case there will be metal grating you can remove. You want to plug the graphics card into the TOP PCI slot and push it in until you hear a click. The back of the card where your display and HDMI ports are should have a lip with a hole in it that fits over a corner with a hole on the case. You can screw that in to completely secure the graphics card to your case.

Most importantly, you'll want to plug your display into the GRAPHICS CARD YOU JUST INSTALLED, NOT THE MOTHERBOARD.

But yeah watch a video if you're a visual learner. All PCI slots are typically in the same spot on any motherboard so any "how to install graphics card" video should work.

Lastly, make sure your drivers are always up-to-date. You can check the manufacterer's website for the latest video card drivers. Some graphics cards come with their own software you can install to do automatic updates.

Is it too late to cancel your order because no graphics card and 8 GB of RAM sounds like a ripoff for $750

Adding a card yourself would put you at the 1k mark still with 8 GB of RAM and you could build something much better for that price. Just from off the top of my head

RTX 2060 - $300-350 (Amazon/Newegg)
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB RAM - $80 (Amazon)
Ryzen 3700X - $275 (Amazon)
ASUS TUF B450 Plus motherboard - $110 (Amazon)
250 GB M2 NVME (to put your OS on and boot from, $55 Amazon)
2 TB Western Digital Blue hard drive (for games, $53 Amazon)

That puts you at ~$920 while missing a case (a lot of options), a power supply (prices for PSUs are pretty fucked up right now because of corona so that will be $100+), and an OS (you can buy a key from a reputable seller on ebay for <$10, I did so myself last week), but you would even be able to do VR with that build. Oh and you could toss in some shitty case fans for <$30 just to tide you over for now.

I'm harping on 8 GB of RAM being terrible because my 2012 build had 8 GB of RAM and it was all fine and dandy until I tried to play PUBG, a 3 year old game

that can be iffy if the sticks aren't the exact same make/model. at the very least if you do that you've got to get the same base voltage and timings.
