What is a good gaming desktop for under $800?

Q. I want a nice desktop. I have a mouse, monitor, and keyboard. I would like a pre-built PC. I would also like it to be able to run Skyrim and all CoD games. If not it needs to at least be able to run Minecraft and GTA IV smoothly.

I do not want to make my own!!!!!!!!!!


Answer
Well okay friend, since you wanted a prebuilt PC then here you go:

CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme 1321 (GX1321) Desktop PC Intel Core i5 2500K(3.30GHz) 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - $750

The reason why I recommended this build is because it has an I5-2500k (perfect for gaming), 8 gb RAM, 1 TB HDD and the HD6670 is still a good card, it can let you play all games on mid settings and also later on since the PSU that comes with this build is 600w, you could upgrade your GPU into a more powerful one like an HD6870 or even a gtx 560 ti.

BTW, you could run GTA4 with this build smoothly on high settings since its system requirement is not that high.

Great gaming desktop under $800?

Q. Maybe a litte over if needed only around 50. Needs to play games on high or ultra.


Answer
I have used these parts to answer a recent question / request for a BUDGET GAMING PC, so I figured you may want to look at it also:

Intel Core i3-2120 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I32120 - $125

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM - $100

TOTAL: $859 ($789 after rebate), with this build, you could play ALL GAMES on max settings since the monitor has a resolution of 1600 x 900. I have given you a bigger and good branded 600W PSU because you might want to upgrade your GPU later to a more powerful one,the 600W can support up to a GTX 570 and even a GTX 670 =P

It has an H77 mobo of which it has nice features (sata 6 gb / s (for SSD), usb 3.0) and you can always upgrade your cpu to an IVY BRIDGE I5-3450 or I5-3470.

All in all, this build is very ideal for gaming, upgradeable and can let you play all games on max settings with decent FPS.
