    Graphics card is not that good on that. Everyone will tell you its cheaper to build than buy. A DECENT graphics card will cost about $200. That pc will run arma 3 and pugs but not on high settings.

      It'll do. May want to pick up a little better video card eventually, but should play the games you like just fine. I have a CyberPower gaming system. Mine is a bit older than yours, but it has excellent upgrade potential. Started life with a Phenom x4 955 CPU. I now have both a 980, and an x6 1100 to test. It's a Gigabyte board, so lots of possibilities. It's been upgraded a few times, and will play anything I want to play. I want to get a better video card. It has plenty of ram right now (16gb), 2, 600gb/10,000rpm hard drives.

      These are NIB, Blade server drives, and there's nothing mechanical that's faster, that you're going to want to use/buy. Especially set up as RAID. I'm hoping to set it up with a 3rd matching hard drive soon.

      I think you'll be ok with it.

          Agreed. Just be sure to check that the PSU has enough juice to run the card. Can't tell you how many times people upgrade their graphics cards without checking if the PSU can handle it.

          The second one listed is a good start. Buy the base model and upgrade the graphics card and you should be good to go.

          As far as Destiny 2 is concerned (I want to play it as well) I would keep an eye out for the system requirements.

            So I take it you are not able or unwilling to build a PC?

            That graphics card is about $130
            The processor PCU is about $80
            The hard drive is about $50
            Mother Board is like $100
            Power Supply is like $40 maybe
            Windows 10 $100
            RAM maybe $50
            So that is $510 for the components so you would be paying $169 for that case and keyboard.

            Id say for the $649 you could build something a little more custom, I understand sometimes you just want to buy a PC ready to go. If that is what you want then go for it.

              Old system build in the second link. Don't get it, an FX-6300 will struggle in ARMA 3. Battlegrounds will also struggle because of it.

              It's 6 cores, but six weak cores. ARMA 3 loves strong cores as it's a very CPU dependent game. Take it from a "bang for your buck" PC Gamer/IT guy. As everyone else suggested, it'll be better to build that buy.

              The older AMD FX CPUs aren't really that great for games that rely on strong single core performance. To get something better for $600, you're going to have to build, for sure. If you can squeeze $800, that will be better.

                If you decide on building one yourself, keep us updated on your motherboard choice/etc.

                I have a few extra PC parts I'd let you have to help along the way.

                  That PC looks pretty cool, those red LEDs don't help with performance. You can do much better if you build it yourself. You won't find a shortage of folks here willing to help you put it together. And if it's the first one you've ever done, you'll have a blast. It's really interesting.

                    This looks pretty good, the video card could use updating but you could get by with the 750Ti for now. Tech Bargains has a coupon to drop the price to $529.

                      I was assuming the OP didn't want to build his own.

                        If your going to build a gaming PC, you want to future proof it.
                        Don't limp in at the entry level.
                        I easily spent twice what your considering.

                          Battlegrounds will run like crap for the next half year more than likely. It is basically a cookiecutter template for the game engine and no optimizations have been applied.

                              Cheaper to build, true. But no support, no overall warranty, and no one to turn to when you BSOD. Not saying not to build, but just things to consider. I wouldn't attempt any build that had higher end components and water cooling, but it can be fun to throw together a basic rig without going overboard. The worst part of any retail bought computer is all the bloat ware and trial software that the makers offset their costs by including.
