RE: Computer

There's really no point in sharing thoughts now that is coming but I'll share some. Indeed the graphics card is really-really bad. I also don't agree with the cpu, FX (bulldozer) were not good cpus and you could get cheaper Athlon or Phenom 4-cores to be perfectly honest while keeping the same or better performance. If the graphics card is not that important to you I would have gotten an APU (cpu & graphics combined) which would offer a lot better graphics than the Nvidia 610. Also, the psu is not mentioned at all (wattage & brand) something that I don't like as usually it indicates a cheap OEM one. These three things (cpu, gpu, psu) are the ones I disagree with.

My advice on such things is always: Wait some time to have an appropriate budget. Don't buy now with the hope to upgrade later because 1) You will get bad hardware now and the required upgrades might cost a lot more in the future 2) By the time you get an upgrade it will already be "old" since the platform you have is older and not worth your money anymore. My point is, wait to have the budget and go for something more descent rather than buying the cheaper solution now. Upgrading the cheaper solution later on is more expensive than the difference between the current cheaper and the future descent solution.

By the way, I'm not saying you should cancel everything now. I'm just sharing my personal experience and advice for any future purchases you make. Wink
