    Posted: 04 Jul 2013 at 1:52pm
Hello everyone!

So I am deciding to switch over to the pc from consoles so I don't know much about this techie stuff. Anyway, I've eyed the Vanquish level 1.
I have a low budget of 700-800 ish, doesn't include monitor, accessories, etc, just the tower itself. I would like to play games like Battlefield 4, GTA V, Watchdogs, etc, on low-medium settings. Should I consider the level 2 Vanquish? I think an i5 core would be better suited for future games, though.

what do you guys think?

Hi yourteammate... You didn't mention the monitor or resolution you'll be using, but the Vanquish lvl 2 will give you what you want on a 23" at 1920x1080 resolution or less.    Not high gaming for some of the heavier shooters, but medium for sure.

Here's a link showing what the gtx650ti Boost in Vanquish 2 will give you.


Good luck..

The level 2 is a great system that should get you nice performance.

I will give you a link and I am sure bpratt22 will post his soon.

If you think waiting a little time would get you to the level 3 system it would be a nice jump.

Thanks for the links, they're really helpful.

I don't need the resolution to be high, 1280x720 ( something like that) is good enough for me. monitors, i got to shop to find out.

I got another question, can I switch the cpu for a different one like the i5?

The Vanquish is a pre-built, ready to ship system , so no changes are allowed.  You'd have to go with Vanquish 3 or a custom setup for the i5.

I think he meant can he put a i5 in himself later on. Maybe not?

Yep, you could swap it later.   It would have to be the Ivy bridge i5 cpu to match the LGA 1155 socket/ pin count.    I'd rather save a little longer and get it up front and not buy two cpu's and have DS do it and have it warrantied but budget doesn't always allow.

I meant what mbd135 said, sorry for not being clear. Thanks for the advice, i'll probably get the level 2.
