gaming desktops???

Post by Cbear12 »

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2D ... =bbfweb-20
So im looking for a new comuputer now and idk anything about them whatsoever so i need help... Im looking for a desktop one so that it can hold alot of storage and is good for games... (duh, and also the computer i have now is some old trashy toshiba laptop that is not for games DX) my price range is at a max of $1,250 but it can go a little over. ive put a link to one that i found but idk if its any good so some feedback on it would be great. Other than that, if you have any suggestions for a good one please let me know!!! :D

What you choose is not very good. you would have to run sim graphics at a low to medium to get 125 MAYBE.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6883229626 <-- Found this for a Desktop and will run sim very well. Maybe 70-9 on 256x256 with 40 riders on nationals. If it can run sim well it can probably run every other game even better lol. I think it has plenty of storage. I do screenshots, some videos here and renders there, and haven't came close to going over 750gb and this has 1tb.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 24G1XA5128 <-- I would go for this monitor. My mate has one and it is a beast. The picture is super smooth and clear. A definite go get.

I think I went a little over budget, but I feel that these are the best bang for the buck, unless you are down to build your own pc. (*Note this is all imo*)

The fact you get a watercooled 4690k and 970 for that price is actually really good. The motherboard is a non Z board and the PSU is off brand, two big things that need to be solid and they cut back. Its still pretty good but not as good as it once was.

If I was you, I would get Amazon Prime tonight, buy everything tomorrow, and most likely walk away with this under $1000. I, myself, am impressed I was able to get an i5/970 combo this close to under $1k, good time to buy.

I hate showing him prebuilts because of that crap. I didn't notice that the motherboard wasn't a z. It's hard to find something amazing with out building it for 4,000 lol.

I agree, if you have any problems in Off Topic there is a PC thread and in Help/Troubleshooting there is another PC thread. Either place someone can help you with whatever.

Crazy, yesterday I posted that build for $1094, today its $1104. What a sale! :lol:

I think if you don't want to build the ideal way to go is to find a cheap complete that runs on an I5 with integrated graphics. Then just add a good GPU (960, 970, or R9 270, R9 280) and upgrade the PSU and it is a lot better than most of the "gaming" prebuilts that skimp on GPU and way overdo the CPU.
