Not really surprised Microsoft/their partner has pushed out such an unstable product for so many people in the MSFS case.

King Heffy Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 AoE4 is torture testing their servers by offering up free multiplayer this weekend.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 CDC gamers and computer folks, please help! I’m looking to get a budget gaming PC for my kids. The main thing they want to do is have a system they can connect their Meta Quest 2 VR set to PC via the Link cable and play Roblox VR. So it doesn’t need to be anything too special, just needs that capability. And I really don’t want to build it myself. Want to buy something ready out of the box. So, with all that in mind, what do people think of this “deal” for a refurbished system: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/refurbished-excellent-gaming-pc-aqvin-desktop-computer-tower-black-intel-core-i7-up-to-4-0-ghz-1tb-ssd-32gb-ddr4-ram-radeon-rx-580-8gb-windows-10-pro-only-at-best-buy/17160400 I know these components are several generations old and nowhere near the specs serious gamers would want. But for Roblox VR, and some average gaming for kids, would this be sufficient? The RX 580 is an older video card, but as far as I can tell, it’s on the supported list (AMD 500 series) for Meta Quest Link. I’ve read some recent reviews that say it’s “aged like fine wine,” so maybe it’s still decent? And the i7 6700, 1TB SSD, 32GB DDR4 offers a lot better specs than I’m seeing for many new systems at the budget/entry level and similar price range. But honestly, my knowledge of gaming PCs today is super limited so I really have no idea if this is a decent value buy for a kids’ entry level system or just a piece of trash and not worth considering. Other recommendations are welcome as well. The above link is just something I found this morning after looking around at sales online. Help!

I'm a little concerned about the motherboard and power supply not being specified. One option that I'd recommend is getting somewhere like Memory Express to build it for you. Their prices for parts are on par with online retailers. A bad motherboard is especially irritating to replace. You'll have to find one compatible with your CPU and will likely need to buy Windows again if it ever fails.

I mean they are probably not a ton of power and not a super up to date mother board. But the computer has everything plugged into it including the very important memory, SSD, and separate graphics card so it should work fine. If he ain't the kind to open it up and put in new memory or graphics card or SSD, then it's probably irrelevant. If you are then you go custom build and get extra power put in. Then of course, your spending a lot more than 800 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually ended up passing on that deal and getting a build with newer components. That one also wasn’t Windows 11 compatible and figured it would just be simpler to not have to deal with Windows 10 sunsetting in a couple years, and went with a newer computer with Windows 11. Also went with a much newer and better (significantly better performance per the benchtest reports) GPU. Got everything set up and seems to be working well. Kids are using their VR headset and are able to play all their games, so they’re happy with it. It’s not all that sexy of a build, compared to a really serious gaming PC, but it’s more than enough for what my kids need and it’s got the specs to play any game they want to try.
