Thank you in advanced.
P.S. I know these are the specs to his Beast II, but my brother wants one to game. Our home PC isn’t built for gaming.

This build has a really great processor, but it’s been let down by the mid-range graphics card.
I can make a list on iBUYPOWER or any other pre-built site and send you the link, I just need to know how much you’re willing to spend.

You could have that specific parts at cyberpowerpc.com. AND also, if your brother is also into gaming, you may want to convince him to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 570 at least so that it could play all games on max settings on 1080p. Basically, the GTX 560 is not capable of playing all games on 1080p.

Also Newegg (if in the states) or Ebuyer (if in the UK)
Simply search for the specs, shop around for the best price, and build it yourself (saving a stack of cash)
Failing that, take a look at your home PC and see if it can be upgraded, you’d be looking for at least 4GB RAM and a somewhat decent to high end video card.

that computer will game , but that gtx 560 will limit the system greatly , i could honestly get him a much better system for less money . shoot me an email at poplepo3@gmail.com with a budget your willing to spend and ill personally go to a config site and tell you how to get a pc better for gaming than the one listed
