Best laptop for gaming for 700 pounds.?

looking at a dell xps 15 with a i7 processor and nvidia 435m. just wondering if i could get anything better for the money. will be using mostly for gaming.

Answer
Laptops are not that good for gaming. The graphics is usually anboard and you can
t upgrade that card if it won't play the latest games well, because there isn't a removable graphics card in them. It is integrated and is on the motherboard. Want better graphics, have to buy a better laptop.
Get a PC for gaming. More freedom to change / upgrade components

Looking to build a decent gaming PC for about £700 - can it be done?

Adam

and if so, can you suggest the hardware I will want to include?

Thanks.
I guess by decent I mean the fastest and most high quality available for the money

Answer
For 700 pounds you can get a very decent gaming computer, here is what I recommend.


Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 $269.99
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R $149.99
Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2-800 $79.99
Radeon HD 4870 $309.99
Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB $94.99
Samsung SH-S203N $29.99

It is a perfect build the only thing left is the monitor, operating system, keyboard, mouse, but you should at least have everything except the operating system from your last computer, you can buy Windows Vista 64 Bit usuing the rest of your money.

Best Gaming PC for £700?

Q. I just was wondering what is the best spec'd gaming pc I'd get for £700. Suggestions thoughts?

Answer
$1125=700 British pounds, so go to Cyberpower and choose a pc to configurate [click on 'configurator'] click on one that is $800 to $900 and add a good video card in the 150 to 200 dollar range. Make sure the os is Windows7. Then find one similar to it in the UK. I'm in the USA so I don't know many British websites. Pricewatch UK is one.

Can i play latest games like CoD WAW and other games on this PC?

best gaming pc for 700 pounds image

Connor Bri

i dont have it yet but im planning on getting it. http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Gallant-AMD-555-94p1023.htm will this be ideal?

Answer
Yep, looks like a great deal. You can also potentially unlock the 2 dormant cores on the X2 and turn it into an X4 !!!

The GTX 550 Ti is a mid/high range card that will max out WAW (it's not that demanding, my old 9600gt can max it out!)

It's not ideal, but neither is spending 700 pounds versus 400!

What are the best laptop brands currently?

JN

A brand other than Apple. I think Toshiba, Lenovo, and Acer might be good but I'm not sure. I'm currently looking for a new laptop to replace my old one, but my budget is no more than around $700.

Answer
Apple is generally the best hardware, and ridiculously high in price for the performance. Thinkpad T series is next. Then the rest of Thinkpad line. Then probably MSI who designs and builds their own. Asus partners with their former subsidiary Asustek. Ideapads have a goal of value in audio-video, but do not compete on gaming at all. Almost everything else in the industry is designed and manufactured by companies like Wistron and MSI, and Asustek, and Quanta and Compal, and I think HonHai-Foxconn is getting into it, and maybe Flextronics. What you buy is a brand name, and how much testing they require. HP bought Compaq and reduced their design work and are now just a big Acer who slaps labels on the OEM products. Dell does some internal testing and is more strict about what is used, but are priced too high. Not sure about Samsung, but they have a small market share.
I can suggest what I do in recommending.
1) Look at the latest reliability/service survey: http://www.pcworld.com/article/211402/reliability_and_service_laptops.html
HP is at the bottom. Dell is lower than they should be. (You could also search for Dell settlement of New York State lawsuits. They cheated customers.). Lenovo product lines are very different from each other.
2) Decide the size you want.
3) Be ready to measure CPU+Graphics. Although not the most complete nor 100% accurate, I use http://www.cpubenchmark.net/
4) Watch for the hidden info. Gigabit vs 10/100 ethernet. size and weight. HDD speed. Web Cam megapixels. Audio speaker brand. Keyboard features.
5) Choose one. I often start with an on-sale Lenovo Ideapad like the Y570 or Y470 for a 15" or 14". They gives a premium audio, some extra features, midrange CPU. Often a decent graphics IC. Then find another system and compare the two. I recently worked off-line to make a recommendation to a college student in Quebec. Checked Lenovo, Toshiba, Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon for the best laptop at around $750. I allowed for all brands but used details of features. It was down to an on sale Y570 (15") and an Asus refurbished 17" about 8 months old gaming laptop. The Asus won as a better CPU, Graphics, and matched or beat specs otherwise. He did not mind that the PC weighed about 8 pounds and is 2 inches thick, and is taking the chance on only a 3 month warranty. Every other $750 laptop had at best Class-2 GPUs. Usually there were other weaker features. The Y570 had a GT 555M. I found good $600 PCs also, as non-Lenovo. So, start at Lenovo.com and find the best Ideapad that meets your budget on sale, and then try to beat it. You can post your top 3. I do not state to buy Lenovo. I say compare it using all the specifications. You need to state your country to know pricing and available stores to buy them. I priced for India, Canada, and UK, as well as USA. Lenovo Essentials = Acer = Dell = HP = Toshiba more or less. You are buying only label+customer service+how good they are at specifying a product for design. HP uses the same shell too often. They throw in an Intel i7 in a system designed for i3 cooling.

Looking to buy a computer/laptop for gaming - 700ish to spend?

best gaming pc for 700 pounds image

Joe Sloper

Title says it all, basically 600-700 pounds to spend on a computer + monitor or laptop. Mainly playing World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2.

Thanks

Answer
I would recommend you personally build the PC yourself. It is much better and the performance is greater for less money. With 600-700 you could buy a low end gaming PC but if you were to build one for the same money you would get a high end gaming PC. Buying a laptop would be waste of money and would be a stupid decision because gaming laptop tend to have overheating issues when playing games and will damage your motherboard plus if they break its a waste of £700 because there difficult or costly to repair unless you get like 5 years full warranty.

Building a PC is pretty simple to be honest, you get an instructions manual which will show you where to connect the cable, where to put your processor ect. Plus there must be tons of videos on YouTube that show you how to build a PC.


Check out http://www.cclonline.com. They are pretty cheap and have a custom PC configurator to makes things easier http://www.cclonline.com/systems/?utm_source=Homepage&utm_medium=LeftBanner&utm_campaign=Configurator. If you decide not to build it yourself they can build it for you for a charge of £45. They also have pre built systems which are better than PCs made by manufacturers. They also offer a Guarantee on their products and systems.
In my opinion this is a better option than buying a PC from a manufacturer since they have many faults at times.

Hope this helps.

What Price Should I Be Paying For a Decent Gaming PC (Built Myself)?

best gaming pc for 700 pounds image

Toby

Just wondering what price would be best to purchase components for a PC that could run the latest games. I'd like to run them in full 1080p and with settings as high as possible, however, I don't want to be spending way too much money simply for ultra settings. This would be games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Assassin's Creed, etc. I've seen many Americans saying $700-$800, but in British Pounds that's only like £500, which didn't seem right?

Thanks

Answer
If you really want a gaming computer that can play any games at max settings, it will be Atleast, $800, not including a monitor and operating system. Heres a breakdown:
CPU - $200
GPU - $200
MoBo - $150
RAM - $40
Hard Drive - $60
Power Supply - $60
Case - $60
Optical Drive - $25

About $850, but don't forget you can get a bunch of sales and rebates to lower it down to about $800
