Current Events > Finally bought a gaming PC

(+) Yeah! (+)

(NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, Windows 11 Pro N, AMD Ryzen 5 2600)

Purchased for $610 on Ebay.

Will be wonderful playing something other than Notepad on my current computer.

So happy! :D

Do they have more?

People really do this and then play PS2 ports or Minecraft

Was gonna meh a bit on your specs, but that price? You done good as far as I'm concerned. Real good.

No.

The guy listing said the PC was barely used and just wanted to dump it.

Has a 100% positive feedback.

Probably the best snipe I've ever done on Ebay.

Thanks!

First PC ever with a graphics card for me.

All I'm hoping is that it will be able to handle Left 4 Dead 2 reasonably well.

I'm not too much into current gaming titles.

It will handle that title with ease.

Such joy!

Have you checked out the level packs/campaigns built by fans for L4D2 on steam workshop? They seem plentiful enough and many of them are well designed.

I'm fairly certain I played that on my pc with zero issues, so you should be fine.

Yeah, this deal is excellent.

And for the games you want to play, they'll look and run amazingly well.

Happy gaming!

I played L4D2 years ago with a store bought, non-gaming PC bought back in 2011 lol. Your computer will handle it without issues.

Not too shabby. The gpu is basically half of what you paid. You might run into some cpu bottlenecking though since the Ryzen 2000-series are older at this point.

What's the motherboard, ram, and storage look like?

Somewhat hoping it can also carry Dark Souls without any troubles.

There's so many great mods done with that game.

I'm not going to be too greedy though, expecting those will work.

You won't have much trouble running anything older than last year unless it's notoriously poorly optimized. Don't fret little one. You're good.

Unless you have slow ram or your storage is really slow HDDs I wouldn't expect any problems out of Dark Souls.

Since it's listed as sold, I can only view the thumbnail now and not the picture in full anymore.

Even with my slow ram on a mechanical drive, I didn't have any issues with DS 1-3 on a PC with an i3-4160 and a 750Ti Boost.

Gone are the days of having to go to systemrequirementslab, typing "The Darkside Detective" and being told No! :D

Also, I signed up for a PayPal Mastercard about five minutes just before the auction ended.

I'll be getting a $150 credit on this purchase because I spent over $500 with the incentive that came with it.

So out the door final price was $460.

Okay.

I'm done glowing for now. :)

You can easily play all the Darksouls at 60 fps max settings. Your rig is stronger than mine and I played at 1440p max settings 60 fps. Played Elden Ring at 30 fps max settings at 1440p.

Yeah on reflection it doesn't really matter what ram or storage you have lol. It looks like a prebuilt that someone upgraded with a GPU at some point but definitely a solid buy.
