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

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229284

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.

What is a good gaming desktop for under 800?

Matt R

I'm looking for a decent gaming computer for cheap. I need something that comes with a monitor, that comes with dedicated video memory and a good processor. I have been looking around and it seems that the cheapest computer out there that looks decent is Acer. I heard that Acers are crap, though. Anyone know? I'm not a huge fan of Dell's Inspirons, but I do like HP. Also I hate AMD processors. I'm looking for Intel's Core 2 Duo, or Core 2 Quad.

Answer
Umm have you ever considered just making your own desktop? That way you can get what you want and will probably get the best deal since few companies will offer gaming rigs at reasonable prices. You can try ibuypower or cyberpowerPC but building it yourself if your best bet.

You could also look into barebone kits where they do all the hard stuff by finding the compatible RAM, mobo, cpu. All you need to install are the HDD, optical drive, and video card which is really easy. Here's a list of ones powered either by a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad. (Ignore the ones under $300)

Any good gaming desktops under $800 ish?

best gaming desktop under 800 image

Q. I am currently running on a emachines t5010. Its so terrible for gaming considering its an older model and not meant for gaming. I play WoW with the settings on low and run at 3-20 fps. I want to find a gaming desktop under $800 (though I am willing to spend more) that I can play with settings on High or maybe even Ultra. Thanks!

Answer
Best option will be to build one.
You spend less and get more (of what you want). And there is no tax or shipping on Newegg.com, unless you live in TN, NJ or CA.

Buy a cheap $40 to $60 PC Case with power supply mounting on the bottom (better air flow and cooling)
Buy an Intel Core i3-2100 ($125) and a Z68 chipset LGA1155 socket motherboard ($108)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128495&Tpk=z68ma-d2h-b3
Buy 8GB DDR3 RAM (2 x 4GB) of G.Skill Ripjaws X Series either 1600 or 1333 ($40 to $50)
Buy a 1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA III (6.0Gb/s) hard drive ($65)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148698
Buy a GeForce GTX460 graphics card ($150)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130749
Buy a good 600 watts power supply ($60) - Cooler Master, Antech, OCZ, Corsair, etc.

TOTAL: $515
Go for an Intel Core i5-2500K (much better, that's what I recommend) and it goes up to $615
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
Intel Core i7-2600K and you are up to $715

Add another $100 for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM:

What would the best gaming desktop be for me?

Adrian

I would like extremely fast multitasking, lots a memory, Blu ray player, great graphics card and supports 3D. Oh and a budget under $800 also that its a long lasting desktop. I a smart tv that is hd and 3D and i was thinking of using that for a monitor. So can you guys point me out in the right direction and tell me a good desktop model

Answer
Let me get this straight, you think $800 is a lot? No. The GTX Titan/GTX 690/HD 7990 alone cost $1000. Also you mentioned "extremely fast multitasking, lots a memory". I suggest
-I7-3970X: $1000
-Mainboard: $200
-RAM 16GB: $120
-GTX Titan: $1000
-Other things: Should not cost more than $480
Total: About $2800
Now you have $800, in order to meet your standard, yoi will need $2800. Now you have $800, which is not even a half.
You cannot get a PC like that with $800. Get more money.

What is the best laptop to buy for gaming under 800 dollars?

Gabriel F

Wanted to buy a new laptop because this one is crapping out on me. Anywho have any advice on which laptop to buy? I would like it to have a good video card because I want to be able to play current games on it like Fallout 3 or something.

Answer
I understand that you want a gaming laptop that's under $800, but under that price tag won't get you much. If you want to buy a good quality gaming laptop, I'd recommend that you should spend at least $1200. Gaming laptops are expensive because it's hard to put good graphic cards into computers. Most laptops run the graphics from the motherboard, but a separate graphic card can be rather pricey. The best brands for gaming are Alienware (Made by Dell) And Voodoo (Made by HP). with these brands, just DESKTOPS start at around $1200! For $800, you'll be able to get a good Toshiba, Dell or HP, but for sure not a gaming computer. If you want to save money and get a real gaming laptop, then build one yourself. IT takes a bit of effort and may take a bit longer, but you will still be able to save some money, and you can buy the parts separate so you'll get exactly what you want.
Overall, I'd recommend to either spend about $1200 and buy a gaming computer or about $1000 and build your own gaming computer. $800 will get you a nice laptop that can run your games, but the graphics won't be as good. So you decide, and I hope that I helped.

Happy 'top hunting!

I will be purchaseing a new desktop soon , i havent bought a computer in about 15years so im very behind on the latest techs - i will be purchaseing an entire package ,CPU and monitor and i will be buying a 21" or better monitor SO whats the best buy for under $800?
I will be doing a lot of research and word processing but i want the capabilities of good video and gameing

Answer
That depends... What do you want to use the computer for? If you just want to surf the web, check email, and work in Microsoft Office, you can get a great desktop for $800. If you want a gaming PC, then your choices are a lot more limited, though you can get a decent gaming desktop for ~$800.

Let us know what types of uses you'll want the computer for, and we'll give you some more specific recommendations. :-)

UPDATE: For $802.74 (not including shipping or an operating system), you can build a nice desktop PC that'll play games and video very well. Parts list (all sourced from NewEgg.com) below:

A copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (OEM version) is about $99.99. I also didn't include speakers since (a) the monitor has built-in speakers, crappy as they probably are, and (b) you should hear them for yourself before buying.

Hope that helped!

I need help building a computer to handle Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 plus surfer and downloading ?

marcus

I am Novice when it comes to building computers. I was tempted to buy the Walmart gaming desktop for under 500. But i rather ask first here. So if anyone can help. I will be extremely thankful. Note i dont have anything so if i could get a list of all the parts .
CyberpowerPC Black Gamer Ultra GUA250 Desktop PC with AMD Quad-Core FX-4100 Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Option. NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Graphics

With 1GB video memory, DVI, HDMI and VGA capabilities
this is what the gaming computer on the walmart has to offer .

Answer
first off. DO NOT BUY PRE-BUILT PCs.

Every single time, 1000 times out of 1000, the company of the computer you bought made profit by cutting costs such as giving you total SH i T components that aren't advertised on the specs. Like the power supply. Like the motherboard. Like the brand of video card (not the manufacturer of the reference model ATI/NVIDIA).

Build your own PC by buying a motherboard, processor, RAM, video card, hard drive, optical CD drive, power supply and case.

In the end, when you order all of your parts, you will save money that would have been profit in Walmart's pockets and whoever built your PC.

You learn about what's in the case. It's a rewarding feeling. You have 100% control. There's no bull s H_ it Indian tech support people to talk to.

Go to newegg. They're the most reliable website to buy PC parts. Start with a video card in your price range that has good benchmarks and reviews. This is the main component for video game performance. Once you pick one, find a motherboard that supports it (PCI express slots), a case that fits it (shouldn't be too hard, but be careful), make sure your processor matches the socket type of your motherboard, make sure your RAM works with your motherboard (keep in mind windows 32bit only supports 4GB or less of RAM, so get Windows 64-bit CD from new egg), use newegg's power supply calculator to find out how beefy of a powersupply you need, and always round up to play it safe. modular = no cables permanently attached to power supply (cleanest). semi-modular = only permanently attached cables are the ones you need (24pin mobo and 4+4 pin processor), so still nice.

the most reliable companies for each part in my opinion are listed below:

Motherboard: ASUS
Processor: Intel
RAM: Corsair
Video Card: AMD GPU, assembled by ASUS
Optical disk Drive: Very stupid almost-outdated thing but you need it to install your OS, go with ASUS OEM version. your power supply will come with the apropriate power cable and your motherboard will come with a data cable for it.
Hard Drive: Western Digital. Keep in mind they have 3 types, color coded. Green is for tree huggers, black is for performance. Go with caviar black.
Power supply: Corsair
If you get an SSD, go for Intel. SSDs are like hard drives, but have no moving parts. They are alot more expensive per gigabyte. But they are FAST. If you want Windows to load within 10 seconds of pressing the power button, install windows to the SSD. If you want your games to load FAST and perform BEAUTIFULLY, install it to the SSD. Put all of your files and music and videos on your HARD DRIVE because you don't need those to open quick lol.

1-500$ total price = your computer is for your grandmother for checking e-mails and playing solitaire and minesweeper.

501-799$ total price = your computer could probably play Battlefield 3 at an average resolution and medium settings at about 25fps (kinda crappy my friend)

800-999$ total price = you're building a good computer, could play BF3 at larger than average resolution at high settings at about 35fps (this is on the fence between good and bad, so why not spend a TINY bit more and have a GOOD PC? see below!~

1000-1200$ total price = if you have at least a 78xx card from AMD, you can play BF3 at large resolutions on ultra settings at about 50fps (amazing, my friend)

it will take a while and you will be very worried at times like i was during your build. you will have questions. i strongly urge you to watch Newegg's how to build a computer videos on youtube. there's 3 parts. 1 is choosing your components, which is what you have to do first. part 2 is building your computer. i watched that 45 minute video like 10 times (450 mins total, about 8 hours).

the tricky parts you gotta be careful about are as follows:

zero insertion force of CPU into motherboard socket.
always having to de-staticize yourself when touching your motherboard by touching a metal surface.
plugging in very small leads to jumper pins on your motherboard
MAKING SURE YOUR MOTHERBOARD HOLES FIT ON THE CASE.
MAKING SURE YOU DON'T LET YOUR MOTHERBOARD TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CASE EXCEPT THE STANDOFFS THROUGH THE HOLES ON THE MOTHERBOARD.
screwing the fragile fricking motherboard on to the standoffs on your case



Good luck my friend. build it yourself and you will be happier and have better performance. i just built mine yesterday and im about to install the drivers and finish my college semester before i play some AWESOME games. i cant decide on battlefield 3 or waiting till BF4 ;D


>
forgot to list my personal opinion of the best company when it comes to the case. go with Corsair. the carbide 500r is perfect. that's what i built and it's amazing. JUST TAKE MY WORD BRO

If you want to buy a good quality gaming laptop, I'd recommend that you should spend at least $1200. Gaming laptops are expensive because it's hard to put good graphic cards into computers. Most laptops run the graphics from the motherboard, but a separate graphic card can be rather pricey. The best brands for gaming are Alienware (Made by Dell) And Voodoo (Made by HP). with these brands, just DESKTOPS start at around $1200! For $800, you'll be able to get a good Toshiba, Dell or HP, but for sure not a gaming computer. If you want to save money and get a real gaming laptop, then build one yourself. IT takes a bit of effort and may take a bit longer, but you will still be able to save some money, and you can buy the parts separate so you'll get exactly what you want.
Overall, I'd recommend to either spend about $1200 and buy a gaming computer or about $1000 and build your own gaming computer. $800 will get you a nice laptop that can run your games, but the graphics won't be as good. So you decide, and I hope that I helped.

Happy 'top hunting!

Can you guys give me a computer part list under 800 dollars?

Hello, I am thinking of building my own computer for perhaps, under 800 dollars. I will be using the computer for light gaming. Please include the case, fans, keyboard, and speaker in the part list, and make sure all the parts could be bought in stores like NCIX, CanadaComputers, and Tigerdirect. Thanks!
It would be best if it's your own computer. I want to be 100% sure the parts are compatiable. Sorry for the trouble!
