Any suggestions? Anything to change/add ?

Also, is it worth? What games would it run? Would it run high-end games like Watch Dogs, GTA V, Titan Fall and such?

Thanks in advance!

I can tell you that a GT630 is pure shit. If they market that as "gaming PC" then they are simply liars. I'm not at home in the AMD segment since I prefer an Intel/nVidia setup. Don't ask me why. It's personal preference.

Because Intel/nVidia are superior

No. Build your own and you will get better specs. I suggest waiting for Windows 9 to be released and when the next gen CPUs/GPUs are announced / released since they will lower the prices of the current gen ones so you can get a little more bang for your buck.

That GPU, both AMD and nVidia one are not good. Plus, you won't be able to run all the new games, even on the lowest settings. Just don't get a ready-made PC, always build! Even custom building costs lower price than getting some ready-made PC sometime.

Why will windows 9 be released make a difference?
The newer 900 series's NVIDIA is already out.

I'd save some cash and buy an Intel processor instead of AMD.

Gaming & Windows 8. That speaks for it self.
GTX 980 or 970 on a $700 budget. Get real.

Intel does not beat AMD in gaming so please get your fanboy opinions out of this thread.

You need to spend at least $1,000 for a good gaming PC. Especially to run something like Titanfall or GTA V when it comes out. You're not going to get as good specs without building your own though. For about $1,300 you could easily build a new GTX 970 and a i7 4790k, which would last you 5 years at least.

If you're on a budget and don't want to build your own PC then, sadly you will not get anything good at all. Sorry.
You can spend $400 and get a rig that runs games on medium settings @1080p. So no you don't have to spend that much.

This. If you need a new PC now.

Well, I've checked these two out and they seem pretty cheap & good, however. I've decided to increase my budget to 900-1000$.

So yeah, any suggestions ? xD

Yes, it does. Even on budget now. A $329 GTX 970, which BLOWS AWAY the next AMD GPU in performance and price. Stop you're stupid "fanboy" argument and look at the facts. Intel has been crushing AMD for the past 8 years, both CPU and GPU wise.

Yeah Minesweeper doesn't count. OP asked for something to run Watch_Dogs, GTA V and Titanfall.

My suggestion:

CPU - i5 4670(NOT 4670k unless you have spare money)
Motherboard - Anything cheap 1150 socket
PSU - Cheap 550-600watt in-built with the case
GPU - GTX 760
RAM - Cheap 8GB 1333mhz
SSD(Optional) - 128gb
HDD - 1TB

This will run literally everything on high. I'd recommend the SSD even though you don't really need it. SSD's are super fast at loading the OS, but can be pricey.
