Hi all,
My wife is more of a gamer than I am, although I know enough about PCs to get around one. I typically buy pre-builds with some customisation as it's just easier for me. I would rather pay the premium to not have to delve into making sure individual cmoponents are compatible etc. She wants us to both play Baldurs gate 3 together, but my current PC (for work) cannot handle it at all. So I made an account here and looked at a pre-build that I have made some small additions to (e.g. adding a second hard drive, as I will still use this for work too).
Can someone help me out and siply let me know fi this is a decent spec for a middle-or-the-road gaming PC? Baldur's Gate 3 is essentially the only game I'll be using it for. My son *may* want to play Minecraft on it too, but I imagine MC is much less demanding than BG3 anyway.
I've seen how helpful everyone is on here even from browsing for a few short minutes, so thank you in advance.
