TheAvenger5228With that price range, everything you have is fine...


The 750 Ti is for sub-$600 computers. Heck, you can fit a 960 in a $500 budget ($600 if you include windows).

OP should not have bought that computer.

With that price range, everything you have is fine... Personally I do have a GTX 750 2GB edition, it runs shaders just fine however with SEUS it just has some coding issues so i reccomend running the v10.2 Preview to fix that. With shaders you'll easily run around 60+ fps. As for high end games, defualt you settings are placed around medium. However during the Battlefield Hardline beta(and my pc is worse than yours btw) I was able to boost the settings up to the high default and run 60+ no problems. I've not tried recording yet with it but you computer should handle anything you through at it no problem. Eventually if you just want 120+ frames sure go with the GTX 770 or GTX 970 or up. They are expensive but putting one of thoose in your computer, you will have no problem what so ever!

It's outdated, and you can't overclock it, why did you go with older stuff for?

Killertoad May I Have Your Skype So You Can Help Me? And NCIX Will Build Me A Computer?

No need for skype, just fill this out:

What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi

And yes, they will. For 60.98 to be exact
http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=7842

1 year warranty from them, plus warranty from all the parts you bought.

I want to believe you, I really do, but I can't, and I doubt anyone else here can either.

Send the computer back, get your money back, and then buy the parts and build it yourself, OR let NCIX build it for you, for around 60 dollars. You'll get a much better build, and better build quality.

They are pros at making the most money, which overrides getting you the best bang for your buck. You have to look for the best parts, from people that don't work at these places.

I work at a computer shop, and we seriously do rip people off, but I still tell people to come to it, and let me do the work, so I make money. That's exactly what computer retail companies do, they help you, but also rip you off to make more money.

The computer is not good, not at all. I'd sell the 750ti and get a 290x/970/980.

Oh, by the way, it's a pre-built computer, from ibuypower.(probably the worst pre-built behind alienware)

Your "friend" didn't build it, you picked from choices, or your friend did.

Why, just why. You should have checked with people that know about computer parts before spending that kind of money. You could have gotten better performance for much cheaper. Get a 970 and a CPU cooler so you can overclock.

Nydigov TheShadbusher If i bought a 970 can i play high end games and record??


Definitely. The 970 maxes out Battlefield 4 at 1080p and plays at well over 60 FPS (almost always above 90).

It'll render things fast and sort of play Minecraft with shaders, but recording high-end games at good video settings is out of the question. If you had not bought an SSD and used that money for a better GPU, you would have no problem playing/recording high-end games at max settings.
