Well no one cares about the model name "Stormforce Onyx", "1TB Radeon RX Gaming PC" doesn't mean anything. And you didn't provide the full system specs so that limits our ability to comment. You might want to link to the PC you're talking about if you're unclear what all the specs are. As is you're leaving to much up for guesswork.

You have no dedicated GPU?

I would say no, not for £479.99. It's as barebones and entry level as you get.

Low RAM, integrated video, 1TB HDD. But yeah, for the price I wouldn't expect more.

Take it that isn’t good ?

Anyone one have any suggestions on what to get ? Preferably on Argos and no more than £750 ?

Nope.

Basically stop looking at places like Argos because they generally sell cheap crap that isn't suitable for gaming (which is why they tend to hide the graphics card details). They're fine for administrative or office work, but not gaming.

ANYTHING that states it only has an Intel graphics chipset simply will not work, and that's why they're cheaper.

Your best bet - as I'm sure you're in the UK - is to either buy something used through CEX, for example, or just do a search round the usual electrical retailers.

I bought a new old stock MSI laptop that was about one or two years out of date for just under £500 a few months ago from Amazon. So good ones do turn up.

Thanks pal I was only looking at Argos because I have an Argos card so I could pay monthly like I literally have no idea what to be looking for I don’t know specs and graphics cards

Ok then. I can dig that.

Simple rule - AVOID anything with an intel graphics chip ONLY. Take careful note of this, as many laptops (like my own) will have an intel graphics chipset AND a proper graphics card. So take care not to dismiss something that is actually suitable.

If price is a thing for you, then CEX might be your best port of call for a start, and places like Amazon. CEX will have a reasonable stock of used PCs keeping costs down, and amazon obviously have a wide range anyway.

If I can give you the biggest rule of thumb of them all, as you're not running that intensive a game, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to find a capable laptop or dekstop for £500, maybe even less.

You shouldn't need 16GB as I can run those games fine with just 8GB.

The issues you have with your current system are that Core 2 is too slow (or something else as well).

I can't really give you much guidance as it varies wildly, but as a rule you should be aiming for any PC that has been built in say, the last 4 years.

You can ALWAYS google the specs and see what it'll run.
