If the games requires better GPU then surely go for a more powerful GPU but at the same time, you still have to check if the GPU that you are going to get will be bottlenecked by the CPU or not (i3 in this case).

Thanks rclxms.gif

So to allow room for future expansion, so I better change to better CPU such as Intel Core i5 6500 or greater to cater for more powerful GPU later on when budget allow again?

Hi Sifu,
Please pardon me if this side track. Most of newest games are on Windows 7 or 8...just wonder which OS I should purchase to cater for future demand of upcoming new title?

Thanks and Regards

Is this allienware rig able to handle AAA games with sacrifices of high setting?

There are many Alienware rig out there and the "Alienware" tag makes it expensive  sweat.gif

Custom build will be more valuable in overall so if you really want to compare a 3k custom build rig and a 3k Alienware rig, the custom build rig will easily beat it.

3k budget can get i5 + RX470 (4GB/8GB) or GTX1060 (6GB) at min top up. GTX760Ti is a very aged OEM GPU, I don't recommend you to spend 3k on this rig anymore since you can get a much better specs by going for custom build path.

Thanks for your advise. I was struggling of getting one "branded" rig since I never have one before. But come to reality and your kind advise has stopped me to pursue this unrealistic rig. I was tempted over the CPU is i7-4790. Also this rig used it less than a year.

Anyway, I will go those custom rig instead instead of branded rig thumbup.gif
