I've always been a console player (PS) just switched to PC. Bought this at Bestbuy, thinking it was a pretty good deal for 1300$ (but then I'm a total noob in pc knowledge so maybe i got scammed).

i7 6700 3.4 GHz, GTX 960 2gb, 2TB and 124GB SSD, 16GB RAM

Anyway. The first game I immediately went to buy was TW3 (it's the reason why I decided to switch from PS4 to PC). I bought it off GOG, and I was hoping I could play it later tonight.

But it turns out that it would take me around 2 weeks to download the entire game, the giant patch, the expansion pass, and all the DLCs and whatnot...

I always buy disks for my PS4, so I'm really not used to waiting before I can play the game. I always knew that my internet sucks -despite the fact that the company advertised 10mbps- but I didn't expect this...(I use wifi, modem too far from PC for wired connection, would that make it faster though? )

According to speed test, I have a DL speed of 3mbps, but the actual download fluctuates between 200kbps and 80kbps...

So is it better for me to buy physical PC games as well? (apparently not many ppl do that). Do PC dvds allow you to install them an infinite times like console blurays (I suppose not?) .

Just wanted to share my frustration of finally having a gaming pc but not able to use it as intended T_T

@insane_metalist: Thanks I really appreciate your help man! One question though, is 550 watts PSU enough for the PC? The one I see has 750 watts.

Plenty of Games to go at RPGs. Devinity Original Sin, Witcher I&II, Pillars of Eternity.. Skyrim if you have not played on console but then there's all the mods for it. If you like city builders you have to get Skylines loads of mods for that too..

starcraft II , Grey goo , Totasl War Series, company of Heros, Dawn of War for your RTS needs.

you have only got to look through steam or other vendors like GOG, Green man, humble Bumble.. all of these have great offers and sales.

as for the price just depends on what you want to spend. The latest I7 will stand you in good stead for a while & will also set you up for new titles like Witcher III..

However I5s offer good value and are more than capable of running any of the above games.

Forget to mention the ARPGs Torchlight II, lots of mods here, Path of Exile (Free) and of course diablo III

That's nice! I love RPG games (mostly Western ones) and there aren't that many on the PS4 yet.

@ribstaylor1: LOL yeah after taxes is gonna be around 1500$ for me. Tax is more than 15% here, but well we've got free healthcare :p

Thanks for the suggestion I think I'm gonna go for this build. Only concern I have is the store, which feels a bit sketchy, and I saw on 1 review that says the computer he bought kept having problems. But the shop does offer 1 year warranty, so don't know if that's something I should be concern about.

@MonsieurX: Thanks but i forgot to mention that I'm from Canada...so the same list here ends up being more than 1250$ (>.<)

@insane_metalist: Thanks to you too, but your list is also more expensive in Canada. Plus in both cases I must pay to get it assemble (can't do it myself), so in the end it's gonna be more expensive than the pre-built one.

This PC is overpriced

But on custom PC sites I've visited, a PC with Intel i5 with mostly identical ends up being more expensive than this one.

I've set my eyes on this PC (BTW I'm from Canada so 1250$ is not as expensive since in the US it would be around 1000$ only)

- 1250$

- Motherboard: ASUS H81M 730 Watts

- Intel Core i7 4790 8x4.0GHz Turbo

- 8GB DDR3-1600 Kingston HyperX

- HDD 1000GB SATA3 7200RPM

- Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB HDMI

- Sound 7.1 HD surround

I already have a PS4 but I don't find myself playing much at all. A lot of games I want to play are not compatible with the PS4 (PS3 or other platforms) and most of the games now are remasters...

What I like about the PC is mods, free online, and backward compatibility. However I'm not a heavy gamer, I usually only play in the summer and I will likely play few games other than Witcher 3, GTA 5, and few other old ones like Skyrim.

So do you think it's a good idea for me to get the PC? Thanks!
