Need a games Pc, under £500?

dean d

Hey, this isn't for me, but a friend of mine needs a game's pc with monitor etc, for under £500. Is this possible to do? I mean personally i build my own pc's for myself so for £500 i could build a fairly decent system, but he needs a prebuilt and i really am unsure who is best in terms of value. Obviously its not going to be amazingly good for £500, but I need to find the best deal for him. Thanks in advance.

Answer
you are not going to find a gaming pc for £500 including monitor, but this is the closest i can get,
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1302182020.1222104138@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceeadefejmgfkdcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=669737&category_oid=-35410

get that and in the future your friend can upgrade the graphics card

Is this a good Gaming PC?

Should I buy this one, and will it be able to play most games on max setttings? It looked like a good deal.

Answer
Compare to my pc, that one is the best for playing games like Skyrim, Borderlands, Mass Effect and all of the good games. My suggestion is to buy it.

I don't do any gaming, but what I can tell you is this:

But you'd better buy it quick, because I'm getting my wallet out...haha no, just kidding.

Which is the best Gaming Graphic Card FOR PC?

Karan Nawa

HI I have a raedon hd 5450 1gb my pc specs:intel dual core e5700 @3gghz 2gb ddr3 ram so i was thinking of buying GTA 4 so before buying i wana know that can i run gta 4 on my pc soothly ?I don't cae whether i run it on lowest settings but the gameplay should be smooth so is it good for playing gta 4?

Answer
hi karan
even on the absolute lowest detail settings the HD5450 would struggle to acheive above 5fps so i can understand your need for a better graphics card.... however you will be able to run GTA4 at medium detail with the "Sapphire HD 6670 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card "( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-261-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1983 ) ......this costs just £74 and uses the latest gddr5 memory which means it has higher memory clock speeds and superior core clocks ..... these include a 800mhz core clock and 1gb of gddr5 memory clocked at 4000mhz ... theres also 480 stream processors and a 128bit memory interface
in gaming this will run the latest games (including GTA4) at medium detail,however less demanding games can run at high detail ......i know this as i built 2 pc,s using the E5700 and used the HD6670 in one of those systems and i was actually very suprised on how well the radeon HD6670 ran ... and it also only requires a 350w psu and no pci-express power connectors
you can get the GDDR3 version of the HD6670 which is less expensive ( around £55 ) however the memory clocks are slower ( around 1800mhz ddr effective ) but the core clock and memory interface are the same.... theres also the same 128bit memory interface...... the best deal on this card can be found at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-258-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1983
on the nvidia side of things theres the "GeForce GT 440 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card"( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-151-OK&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1402 ) ... this allthough cheap has some capable performance... however from a personal standpoint i wouldnt buy this card over the HD6670... but thats just me... some guys may actually say this cards better than the HD6670.... and in gaming it will run GTA4 at low to medium detail...
both these cards are good for their price however the Sapphire HD 6670 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card is your best bet..... it has excellent performance for a entry level/mid range card and more importantly it has very low power requirements.....
i hope this helps
good luck mate !

How to Deal with Motion Sickness ...I get a massive headache, nausea, and sick to my stomach?

best gaming pc deals uk image

Ravi

How to Deal with Motion Sickness..i like pc gamesvery much...now a days im not able to play games...if i play means i feel like something in stomach and running to the bathroom in a matter of minutes. I get a massive headache, nausea, and sick to my stomach. I can't play games..is it any problem with me?

Answer
I have an inner-ear disorder, so I get massively motion sick. I have tried all the motion-sickness tablets. The best one by far is called Meclizine. You can buy it in a bottle (cheaper) (ask the pharmacist) or you can get it as a motion-sickness medicine called Bonine in the US and Bonamine in the UK. It will make you drowsy but that's better than the alternative.
I just re-read your post and you said you get sick when you play PC games, not when riding in a car, boat, or plane. This sounds more like a type of migraine than motion sickness. You may want to see a neurologist for this. It could have something to do with your eye motion and the lights and screen motion. If this persists, a neurologist is the best way to go, I think.

Is the product linked everything I need to transfer DS games from PC to DS?

Alex

The link:
http://www.r4i.co.uk/shop/r4/r4-sdhc-card-for-ds-lite/7802

I do not have anything else apart from a standard DS Lite. Do I need to buy anything else or is that it?

Note that I am using it to transfer POWDER, a freeware DS game, and so AFAIK I am not breaking any laws.

Answer
You need microsd memory as well, try this store, they have a better deal and have memory combos as well so should save u some money. not only that they are carrying the DSi version so you can use it on your ds lite and dsi in case u want that!

Should I be concerned about foreign eBay bidders?

best gaming pc deals uk image

Bombardon3

I am selling a collector's edition of a PC game on eBay. So far the two people that are bidding both have 0 feedback and user names that are basically random letters and numbers. One is from China and one from France. Do these guys sound shady? If they were US based I'd feel a little better, but I don't think eBay will protect me on overseas deals.

Answer
1 Is it diablo III? lol

2 You can cancel their bids and set up options in your listings or account wide that requires bidders to have a certain number of feedback and block foreign bidders. You may need to relist if it doesn't let you alter those options after cancelling the bids.

3 If you decide to sell internationally you need the weight of the item packed up so you can input shipping costs and bidders know up front. If the item is of worth then you should use a method that provides tracking - that way you are protected. If it is above a certain amount then to be protected you need a signature.

4 Foreigners do not need to be shady. I live in the UK and i buy from other countries all the time. But that said video games are scammer favourites. That isn't to say you won't get scammed by a fellow american. The difference is tracking confirmation is much cheaper for domestic mail.

It is slightly more complicated to sell internationally but for stuff like this it is definitely worth it as i sell limited edition collectables and i get far higher bids this way. That said, if you are in doubt then don't.

im buying a gaming pc, i have found one that looks good and dont know much about computers, is it worth buyi?

my pc specs are
Processor: AMD athlon II X4 630 processor (4 CPU) 2.8ghz
Memory : 6GB
directx 11
Graphic card : ATI Radeon HD 4600 series
monitor 1920 x 1080 (32 bit ) (59Hz)
so what should i upgrade and if i can play Battlefield 3 on this specs

Answer
first of make sure windows is 64 bit for full advantage

6gb if it can go higher most boards go to 8gb so thats a plus

so max that to 8gb

depending on slots how many
youll need to find out the boards memory ddr2 or ddr3
then i could point you in the right direction just drop me a email


graphics card would not expect great gaming performance if anything go for this card order is cheapest and make

usa ( area)

6000 series
models can play skyrim and battlefield

amd 2gb cards medium specs

lower model
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150584

higher model with a few upgrades no big deal

very little diffrence in price
at the moment snap it up quickly

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-VX6670-2GBK3-H-PCI-Express-Acceleration/dp/B005O8HMSG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1336464877&sr=1-1


psu

if you want to splash out you can upgrade the monitor to 64bit max 128 bit

but 64 is fine i only suggest it for a nicer game experiance enriched detail
