    Hello all, hoping some of you could give me some advice! I'm hoping to buy a used pc to see if I enjoy pc gaming. I've found one and I'm wondering what fps I could expect from it.

    How would it cope with games such as Arma 3, Rust, Ark, Bf3/4?

    Computer Specs:

    Graphics Card- ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB

    Processor- AMD FX-6350 Six-Core 3.90 Ghz

    Ram- 8GB (2x4)

    Hard Drive- 1TB

    Motherboard- M5A78L-M USB3

    Power Supply- 600W

    Operating System- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (Clean)

    LED- Red

    If I do buy it, What would be the first thing you would recommend upgrading to improve performance?

    Thanks

    Fairly good for €350, you could upgrade the GPU straight away for about €250 to an R9 380 or a GTX960 for a little less.

    Depends on budget, but GPU wouldbe my first upgrade, CPU should be okay for a bit

    Realistically that is a very good PC for €350. The GTX660 is decent, faster than a GTX750Ti for comparison.

    You could sell the 660 for about €100, then buy a GTX960 for €220ish.
