Hi, I'm about to buy a new PC, and I want to know how many FPS I could run the LOL and other games that are not of much requirements, such as Assasins creed Brotherhood, Minecraft or any other game that can run on a regular basis or fluid

It is this:

-Motherboard MCP6P3 AM3 -Processor Phenom x4 840 3.2ghz -2gb of ram ddr3 I plan to expand it to 4gb -Source power 450watts -Geforce 405 video card 1gb

  • 2 Hard disks 80gb and 160gb -CD reader

I do not know if the monitor influences but it comes with it Monitor 15 "CHIMEI'

Oh and they think it's a good buy? They are selling it to me in 80 dollars, everything that already mensione

And excuse me for my English is that I speak Spanish and use the translator

It will run LoL (not with stable 60 FPS) but the other games will not at all be enjoyable. Tbh, I wouldn't buy it, not even for 80$ and spending more money on additional RAM on an outdated DDR3 system is not worth it.

I recommend saving up to 300-350$, then you can get yourself a custom built computer with the Ryzen 3 2200G with which LoL will run at around 150 - 200 FPS.

Whatever current PC you are using chances are it is better than the PC you want to buy.

It's shit.

The processor is from late 2010; it was a good chip when it was released, but it will be lacking in performance now

you will have a hard time even if you upgrade your ram to 4gb, 2gb is woefully inadequate

psu has enough capacity, assuming it's not a shit psu (brand is important)

gpu is shit and not meant for gaming

HDD capacity is very low, and based on the age and size I believe those are spinning platters. I would not trust them to work for long.

The only somewhat decent component is the CPU. If you really wanted to make something workable out of this, I'd recommend doing the following:

  • Before buying it, verify the PSU brand; 450W is sufficient, but only if it's a name-brand PSU

  • Consider upgrading to 8gb of ram

  • get a better GPU; I'd recommend a gtx750ti; it's not new, but it is actually designed for gaming, unlike what's in there now

  • get a new HDD. And by new I mean new. Even if everything is cared for correctly these will fail after a few years of use.

Basically you're not buying a pc; you're buying a case, mobo, cpu and possibly a PSU.

I currently use a mini laptop that has a celeron processor of 1.11 ghz, with that I tell you everything

If you are not afraid of building your own PC and you can order from the Internet, I would suggest something like this:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NZfm7W (350$) (Ryzen 3 2200G has Vega8 integrated Graphics) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EOGac8JeKw

Other than that, depending on your maximum budget, you are better off buying a used PC from eBay than that PC in your first post.

what do they tell me about my mother card, how good they think it is to play?

You need more RAM. I haven't read across the whole thread to see what else has been said - But 4 GB RAM isn't enough enough to run a browser with a few tabs(With a Youtube Video), and League at the same time without the browser occasionally crashing. 2 GB RAM is certainly going to be even worse.

Thank you all for your opinion, but what happens is that as I told them I do not speak English, I live in Venezuela and as you may know the economic situation in this country is very bad, I plan to buy that PC with a few dollars that a friend sent me. live in the united states not by my own merit

Then you are telling me to do the following, expand ram memory as much as possible and buy another more powerful video card, it occurs to me that I could buy this Evga Geforce Gt 430 Nvidia 1gb ddr3 gives a little more performance than the one that comes with she and it's cheaper

What PC do you currently use to play games? What parts are in it?
