PCFormat Gaming PC Reviewed - Intel Core i3 GTX 560 Ti Pro Gaming PC

The I3-2120 only packs 3MB of L3 cache, which is the biggest stumbling block for this little processor when it comes to heavy tasks such as HD encoding. However, overall its performance as a gaming processor is satisfactory.

The rest of the Pro Gamer PC is also surprisingly potent. The ASUS P8H67-V manages to help reduce the overall price of the system while providing a decent selection of features including SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0. The Pro Gamer doesn’t have an overclocked processor but for those who want a bit more out of their system the Asus motherboard will facilitate. The GTX50TI is the best GPU for a machine aimed at the budget gamer and tips the scale more in favour of gaming rather than budget. The only real problem with the Pro Gamer is the fact that it only comes with a single 4GB stick of DDR3-1333. This is the bare minimum that any gaming rig should have and if possible and additional stick of RAM Should be requested when ordering this system.

Evetech has opted to use an NZXT M59 Chassis and although this is an economical chassis it comes with three silent fans, has a fully powder-coated interior and will accommodate at GTX 580. Like every Evetech rig that has arrived at the PCF Ranch, the cables from the Corsair CX500 PSU as well as the other system cables have been routed and hidden well which goes a long way. Overall the Evetech I3 GTX 560Ti Pro Gamer is a solidly built and well thought-out machine. The Core I3 processor and the H67 Motherboard help to keep the costs down while the GTX 560Ti GPU gives this PC a solid gaming heart. Its reasonable price tag and upgradability make this PC one of the best was to get a gaming PC without selling a kidney.
