You can use more than one monitor so long as the GPU has enough video outputs to support the monitors. The 1060 has 1 DVI, 3 DP and 1 HDMI.

With all of that said, dropping 1k on a prebuilt PC - I would advise building your own for that price. PSU is not listed at all which is an important thing to know about. A shit PSU can destroy a whole build. Motherboard also is not listed which is another concern. As usual, prebuilt PCs list parts very vaguely and it shows with the SSD and HDD since they did not list the brand or model of them. The HDD is also a hybrid HDD, which they didn't give any information on that at all, other than it's 1TB and 7200 RPM.

It's Black Friday and Cyber Monday over the next few days, building your own PC now would be great on your wallet, just might be a little stressful trying to beat everyone to the bargain; whether you are buying in person or online.

Edit: As for if it's good or not - other than the price point and the vague description of other parts the 1060 and i7-7700 will serve you well on a good amount of games. Of course you won't be able to run every game @ 1080p max settings with the 3GB 1060, but you will still be able to play most games comfortably. I believe streaming depends more on your internet in general but you could still stream and game with this rig. Just, you could honestly get a better rig building it yourself and may not even have to touch the same price point.

Sorry bro im not really understanding what a RPM or any of the other thing means bro sorry. But heres the official website for it. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Edit: What do you mean most games comfortably? Cant i still run games smooth? I dont want a choppy game and i dont care for 1080p 60fps. If its still 720 with 60fps ill be fine!

I agree with Taiga I wouldnt drop 1K on a pre built.Streaming depends on your internet you can check your speed [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .You could probably get a much better GPU than a 3GB 1060 espically with Deals coming up.The keyboard and Mouse are pretty standard that come with the Build so if you wanted to buy your Own peripherals you would have to spend more money than if you Decided to build your own PC.

RPM is Revolutions Per Minute - it's effectively the speed at which the disc will spin per minute. The faster the RPM, the faster the HDD will read and write. 7200 RPM is the absolute standard for HDDs, with some having 10,000 RPM. The problem being is they didn't list the exact HDD. On the Acer website they listed as a Serial ATA/600, which still doesn't give much. That could be Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, ect. They didn't list the exact model because chances are, it's a rather shit model.

Comfortably is smooth yes. A choppy game isn't comfortable at all lol. You may have to sacrifice some visual pleasing on some games, such as turning off AA or render distance a little lower to make sure you are achieving 60 or more FPS. This won't be on a lot of games. PUBG is an example not to worry about. The game is just not optimised too well and even with my 1080 Ti on 1440p, thing runs at like 90 FPS max settings with AA turned off, yet I can load up CoD WW2 with max settings and AA on 4x and be hitting over 200 FPS. My card is different from yours, so your experience is going to be different, just there will be some games you are going to have to sacrifice visually pleasing aspects for performance. Also you'll more than likely be on 1080p. Can't even recall a single monitor that is still 720p using HDMI or even DP - unless you're using a TV as a monitor.

So how will R6 run? Is it going to run like how i see youtubers like Matim0 and DukemNukem run it? I Would build a PC but i dont know how too. I looked up videos on it and just didnt understand what it was talking about.

Rainbow 6 Siege? It will run over 60 FPS easily.

Here's a video showing the FPS, and it's the only one I could find but it's in a different language.



As for building your PC it's fairly easy. It's honestly like adult legos. You won't break anything as long as you use common sense and don't try to break anything lol

Edit: While this is the 1060 6GB, it won't be too big a difference
