I am interested in buying a mid end gaming rig capable of playing all new games on medium settings 1280*720 min resolution(masseffect3,deat space 3,The witcher 2,Ghost recon future soldier,MW3,BF3)..I am interested in buying a i5 first gen PC specs are as under


  • Intel Core i5 750 (clock 2.6 GHz) 8M cache
  • 3GB RAM
  • 320 GB Harddisk (Seagate)
  • MSI P55 motherboard

  • Silverstone 500W power supply
  • NVIDIA GEForce GTS 250 Graphic card(PCI x16 port)

price is not bad but at olx there is alot of wrong deals so i suggest you to either purchase a new pc or purchase from pakgamers market place.also try to purchase sandy bridge or ivy bridge processor and forget old core i series. and if you are looking for future proof you must have to choose lga1155 plateform because lga1156 is deadend plateform with no future (even lga1155 will have no future :p)

please post complete specs of your current PC, also these parts are old (1156 is old) and GTS 250 is a crap card. So sell your current PC add that money to this 36k and you could get yourself something decent

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
