Okay all by today standards how do you rate my computer, and why? And also how do you think my games preform these days with my pc?
 
 

my opinion
11/10 gaming/overkill pc = 3770k/3930k etc, 8gb+ ram, gtx 670/680 sli
10/10 gaming pc = i5 3570k, 8gb ram, gtx 680
9/10 gaming pc = 2500k/3570k, 8 gb ram, gtx 660ti/670
you pc in my opinion falls 6-6.5/10

_Nite_

I would say 7 outta 10

I took off 3 points since its a Pre Built brand and not Custom Built 

yeah It was at first but i put the parts in myself. like the video card, ram, and PSU. but the rest is pre built.
 
 

BF3 high
Skyrim high
bio shock high
Batman high
sims 3 high
WOW high
GW2 high
 

Everyone, please stick to the topic of the OP. Posts that are way off topic will be deleted

It's a littler higer than mid range imo.
 
1-10 scale with the below critera:
10 being quad SLI/2CPUs/64GB RAM/RAID SSD's
1 being a base dell for super cheap
 
With your computer having a AMD Phenom, 4GB Ram and a GTX 560 with HDD only and no SSD
I would rate yours around a 6.
I wouldn't classify a 6 as a bad 'score' its a machine that gets the job done, but nothing flashy.

1. So what. Not everyone is capable or wants to build their own pc even if they can.
2. AMD. And? Does it make you feel elite by having a intel chip? OP. If I had to go AMD. I would have went with the newer chips. Not sure why you went with a Phenom II this late in the game.
3. It is not high end but certainly not low end either. I would have went with a 660 or 660ti. I can play on high @1080p in BF3 with 60fps+ I do have to kill HBAO to reach that though.
4. Right. So you expect him to pay a huge amount for a card when he is not running 1080p. You make it sound like 1080p or higher has to be the standard.
5. Not everyone is into it or cares.
6. Yeah its nice other then running a single 670 for 3 1080p monitors. And not having a ssd.

You are really being a pc elite snob. To top it off. You even throw in a picture in his thread which is pretty much a big you know what. Any ways OP. My only complaint with it is the cpu, and lack of ssd. It really makes the system fly that much faster having one of those. For gaming below 1080p. You have a solid system.

Not that great.
1. Prebuilt
2. AMD
3. 560 is fairly weak compared to todays stuff.
4. only 20in 720P (reason why you can run games on high)
5. no sign of overclocking
6. most people have way better rigs on here, mine is medium on here but its still badass.
7. no pics or evident "modding"



Modded dell gears of war case
2500K @ 4.7Ghz
EVGA Z68
EVGA superclock cooler
EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB
3x 23in 1080P monitors
1Tb Black western digital hdd
8Gb G.Skill memory

Compare that to yours and you tell me what yours rates. We even got people here running 5+ghz chips and quad 690s and you try to convince us you rig deserves higher rating.

I give it a 3/10 based on above info.

I wasn't try to be a snob at all. Op is arguing with others why people are rating it low so I gave proof as to why. I even said my rig is medium (meaning many people have better rigs than me)I'm just trying to say that given the info I've been given it just doesn't quite meet my criteria, that doesn't mean it's not a capable rig. Most people do modding here or at least pictures but neither are evident contributing to my score. I gave an honest score based on the information given and I even gave reasons as to why. its like if someone shows up to a car show with nothing but your specs of your Honda accord that you bought from the dealer but just added some tires to it. If that makes any sense.

And is okay for budget gaming but if you can't admit that Intel is superior in almost every way except for cost than well we have a problem. Its just the fact of the matter. Thus I deducted score further.

I'm still working on earning enough money for another 670 and I've been looking at ssd's for a long time, just waiting for the right price. like I said, I have a medium rig, its not at the top of the list yet.

5/10
Need to upgrade some of your hardware to be thrown up to the 8-10 range

Thx for not being rude like some ppl. FattysGoneWild I was thinking of  getting a 660TI this November.  And as for the CPU your right it is old. Someone Bought  the pc for my b-day. So I just upgraded it as I got the money. As for the 560 I got that last year and the 660s were not out yet.

I guess i'll try building my own pc next time.

I'm sorry if you wanted to hear that you have the best computer in the world. Sure you want a 660, but you don't have it. I'm not going to give you a 8-10 for what your rig COULD be, im rating it on what it is now. I was not being rude at all. All my statements are completely correct and valid. Sure it's great for your use but when rating it, it doesn't score great points. hope you understand that.

Granted some people are being kinda mean. I read the thread and yea I can see that. With that being said though, you did open up for critique on your system since you did say rate your specs. You have to take the good and the bad. Let this be a lesson learned.

@willem445 - Would you "downrate" a system for not being overclocked?
I do not understand 

One thing is looking @ the specs and judge by the performance & numbers (which you do I believe).
Another thing this is judging the PCs performance and compare to the cost of it. Not everyone can afford $5000 SRX rigs with GTX690 SLI ect. So you gotta cheap out and get the best hardware for your money.
AMD PII is outdated, yes - but still the best budget Quad-Core ->GAMING<- CPU you can get.

Yes I would. 2500k running at 3.2ghz or 4.5? The 4.5 will perform way better and its a free upgrade. And its an important system spec. When it's an amd chip not overclocked i will lower rating obviously. Yes i know rigs are limited by money. That being said i wish i had quad 680s and a 3690x CPU but just because i WANT that doesn't mean my current rig would score higher. I gave rating on current hardware compared to today's hardware. Why does no one understand that. Do some upgrading overclocking and maybe modding (still haven't seen your rig so i don't know what modding is available) and it will obviously get a better rating. Simple as that.

Man...  The PC is fine....  If it runs your games in a way that satisfies you, that's all that matters...  If not, upgrade some components... 
 
I'll be honest...  I used to game with a Q9650 w/ 8gb of ram on a EVGA 790i Ultra SLI and a GTX 465 in sli...  I then got the upgrade bug and built my system below in my sig...  The difference in gaming was negligible...  I actually felt like I wasted my money...  The best upgrade you could make is an SSD...  That makes the biggest difference these days.  Maybe sli your 560.
 
I love how now that the 600 series gpu's are out, many think the 560's no longer are good enough for newer games, when nothing could be further from the truth... especially on a 20' single monitor....  gimme a break folks.
 
Although, I can't speak  for the cpu, as I am not familiar with AMD. but changing the cpu will require a new rig.

You guys all harsh on the grade scale. He has a decent rig to last him awhile and not to mention better than most people here that dream for some better parts. And again 560's still kick butt! I haven't came across one game where it can't handle Ultra settings, and yes that includes BF3, now maybe one or two settings down from max but isn't a big deal, it touches ultra n thats all that matters. BF3 is the only game where I actually enable my SLi, but still works in single just as well. These cards are champs and will still be able to handle todays games with ease. It's todays games that are behind in the graphic department while the cards are a galaxy ahead. I stand firm on my 6.5 rating cause its still well capable

True that shinro! +1

I give it about a 5.5-6/10.
 
By todays standards its not going to be in the higher end, but it is enough to get the job done. Therefore I think a midranged score would be best suited for it.
 
This does not make it bad at all. It just means that the score itself for the overall system by todays several thousand dollar systems is medium. As long as it does what you want it to, thats all that matters.
I would only give my own pc a 6 out of 10 at most, but it does what I want it to.
