      Are these any good for the price? Sorry, I'm new to all of this really.





      I'd start with a lower offer of course and hope they accept.

        Bad price. You could build a much better one for that price. I’d recommend building one vs buying one already together honestly. Much better value and it’s not that hard.

          Plus you'll be proud that you built your own system with brand new parts.

            He said a couple pages ago that he upgraded his Alienware Alpha to an i5-4690, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB HDD. Just use these parts in a new build. That's a perfectly good CPU.

            He also said this wasn't going to be his primary platform, but wanted to play games at higher settings.

            Here's a compatible board and other parts that would allow that. You can pick out a different case. I added a cheaper SSD, because having your OS and drivers on one makes a massive difference.

              Can anyone explain to me why EA's game platform Origin, doesn't have half of EA's games?

              Where is Madden, NHL, Rory and UFC?

              And they wonder why no one uses Origin.

              This is like Nintendo saying alright guys we got a great platform with Switch but guess what, Mario and Smash? They're only going to be on Xbox and PC. We still going to put Zelda on Switch though we got you fam.

                They aren't missing if they haven't been created/released for those platforms.

                Origin Access is as good of a deal on PC as it is on consoles, just has more general competition for that gamer because of how easy it is to get a backlog going off of Steam/Humble/GoG sales.

                  Origin been a wasted opportunity for years now. I only use Origin for EA games that I want to see on PC on Ultra High End settings. If the game not by EA, then I don't even turn on Origin.

                    Origin is a fantastic value for a new PC gamer or someone like myself who just spent a good bit of money on a new PC and wants a lot of games for a low price.

                        Steam and Humble Bundle, etc. have way better value then Origin. Steam have a week long sale, midweek sale and weekend sale EVERY WEEK.

                          Still not a better value. For $30 you get access to about 75 games on Origin Access for a year...you can't even approach that with shovelware sales either of those sites.

                          Even discounting like FIFA 15, 16, etc and only counting FIFA one time you're still getting like 50 top end titles for a fee of $30...

                          Now long term, yes it's a better deal to shop sales but I'm talking "I just built a new PC and want a bunch of games now" short term

                            I'm not a huge fan of Origin, but I sure love their "On the House" games.

                              Speaking of "other" launch/library services, do any of y'all use GOG Galaxy? I find myself using it more and more as I try to "ease" my reliance on Steam. If y'all do, let me know because I need some friends on GOG lol

                                Except you could probably buy every game worth playing on Origin Access for cheaper than $30 combined.
