What would be the best gaming desktop I could buy under $1000?

Steve Caru

I'm not trying to run Crysis 2 on high detail or anything super crazy like that. I just wanna be able to run games like Cod, Team Fortress, Left for Dead, etc without any problems. Any suggestions?

Answer
$1000 will get you to Crysis 2 on max settings with no problems.

Take a look at these builds.

Both cost around ~$800. Add a 1080p monitor from Samsung or Asus for around $200 and you are set.

New PC desktops under $500?

I'm thinking about selling my Inspiron 1545 laptop for $300 and want to get a gaming PC.
If you could please provide a link for finding great GAMING PC Desktops, that'll be awesome.
Thanks, community.

Answer
Nice to see all the trolls who have no idea about budget computing.

First, it is possible to build a decent $500 gaming PC (not including monitor). You will have to build it yourself to make it cost effective. You wont be able to just go out and buy one.

Here is a great $500 build that would play most of todays games on decent resolutions and settings, and will easily max out all console ports, including the likes of CoD:BO and NFS : HP.

Includes Athlon II X3, HD5770, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM and Windows 7.
