Can this pc run league on 60fps with the lowest settings?

inspiron-3847-desktop
It comes with free monitor which I don't have so it's kinda nice for 949sgd

Will it overheat or anything?I heard the graphics are shyt but I'm really on a tight budget to get dis. Any better comps around sgd1200 or less? just gotta be able to run league at lowest on 60fps consistently and also skype :)

What league? League of legend? The graphic demand for that game is low as hell, even an the intel integrated graphic can run that game at high setting with decent frame rate. No, it won't overheat.

Why not go for DIY?
1.2k can land you a gaming computer that is 100 times better than the Inspiron-3847-desktop in gaming performance.

If you are playing low graphic demanding games like LOL, dota2, blackshot,etc. $800 pc optimised for gaming purposes will do. It can even run games like battlefield 4 which is way more graphic demanding at medium setting with decent frame rate.

Sim Lim Square, best place to get DIY pc.

Asrock H81M-DGS + i3 4160 @ $226
Leadtek gtx 750 2gb OC @ $188
Crucial value ram 8gb 1600mhz @ $99
FSP 300W 80+ @ $39
Lg dvd rom @ $25
Bitfenix Comrade @ $59
Win7 64 oem ~ $120

All price extracted from PCthemes @ #04-15, ask for discount. Buy from tradepac @ #05-18 might be slightly cheaper.

Can run all the dota2, LOL, blackshot all downloadable games at max setting easily. Can run battlefield 4 at low/med setting with decent frame rate.

What's the difference in i3 and i5? Will it affect my gameplay at all? And should I be wary of anything when in buying cause I heard theres some stores with shady practices. Do I need a WiFi card? Oh ya and which monitor to get also?

Don't be fooled by the trend "I NEED i7 TO BE ABLE TO PLAY GAMEZZZZZZZ!!"

When it comes to gaming, the processor (i3,i5,i7,etc) only do less than 25% of the job while GPU do the rest of it.

Very little differences to none if you are planning to play low graphic intensive game. There will be slight differences (less than 15% for most graphic intensive game) if you play graphic intensive games like battlefield 4, Crysis, etc.

Even a cheap dual core Pentium processor like the G3258 equipped with a power graphic card like a R9 280 can run battlefield 4 at high setting easily.

Most computer DIY shops don't do shaddy business. Most of the store that you heard of is mostly from level 1 and 2.

Do you need a wifi card? Up to you man. A wireless USB will do the job too and it cost cheaper than a wifi card.

What is your budget for monitor.

My total budget is around $1200 so like a lot left for monitor haha but I don't really need a expensive monitor super big sized. I was looking at the Dell s2440l is that monitor ok or can I find a better 1 at that price($200~)

Btw, where to get wificard? I can't find in the price list of pc theme.

Wifi-cards are under the 'Wireless LAN' section in the PC Themes pricelist.

May be a dumb question but the bitfenix comrade can install WiFi card on in right cause the WiFi cards got antenna pop out.

Should I put the computer parts on motherboard first then put in case or put motherboard in case then put the parts?

I hear ppl in videos saying to ground myself before installing stuff on motherboard. What is grounding and how to do it?

All casing can install wifi card on with antenna popping out.

Up on you. Some prefer put motherboard first then other hardware, some just put everything on motherboard first then put on casing.

Grounding is to discharge all the static on your hand. Static have a slim chance of spoiling your hardware. Better be safe than sorry. Touching the metallic and unpainted part of the casing will do. Don't rub yourself on rough object like carpet, etc.

Any 8gb DDR3 1600mhz value ram stick from Kingston, Crucial or G.skill will do.

How's the service of pcthemes? How long to wait and how much do I need to pay if I want them to assemble? If they assemble the cable management is ok or? Will they eat up the extra accessories or anything? I first time do these stuff so abit scared ah ps.

PCthemes is one of the best DIY shop in SLS. Waiting time depends on the crowd and availability. Trust them, they will do a good job and won't eat up any extra accessories.
