Will it run new games as crysis 3 and far cry . it is my first pc build and i want to know if i have anything bad or incompatible .
note the graphic card i have is the 7950 oc version and it is not listed in the site so i putt it in custom

Answer
Everything looks good, have fun. I'd recommend getting a 120MHz LCD however if you plan to do 3D gaming right now or in the near term. Companies like nVidia require a 120MHz for their 3D effects to work. If you're gonna shell out all that money for a PC you might as well spend a few more on the screen. Hope that helps.

What is the best PC gaming desktop i could buy for under $1500?

Q. I would only game on it and surf the interwebs, so the only specs that I care about are the ones related to graphics performance, cooling, memory, wifi, etc...If there's a computer in this price range thats made only for gaming, please enlighten me. I took a look at Alienware desktops, but I think their computers are overpriced for the tech thats inside them. I also heard that Dell Isn't worth buying from either, but if I'm wrong about either, feel free to comment.

Answer
You're right on your assessment about Alienware (in fact all prebuilts), are overpriced becuase of 'Middle mans' tax and then you have store profit on top.

Seriously the best way of getting a gaming pc is to buy all of the components and self assemble. Its easier than it sounds. Instructions come with the case and power supply and these will generally tell you everything you need to install your components to get a complete pc. My first build took over 3 hours in an afternoon. By the evening, I was installing Windows and playing games :)

The best place is the US and Canada to buy components is Newegg.com (or newegg.ca).

I tell you what, if you tell us whether you need monitor, gaming mouse and keyboard and othe acessories included in that budget or not and i'll upload a shopping list of components for you within minutes. I only ever recommend quality components ;)

What is the best gaming PC on the market for under $1500?

Logan A.

I'd prefer one that doesn't come with a lot of useless crap.

Answer
Try Carbonfrost Systems Defender Mark I. It comes to about $1400 and you get a pretty good gaming computer for that amount. I am listing the specs below as well as the website address.

http://www.carbonfrost.com/products/defender/

500 Gigabyte Hard Drive
2 GB RAM
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core
2.3 GHz Processor
DVD±R Burner 18X
ASUS AMD Motherboard
GeForce 7900GS 512MB Overclock Edition Video Card
M-Audio HD Sound Card
Windows Vista Home Basic
Starter Package

This configuration should be more than enough to play alot of the games and you can even go higher on their website. It also comes with 2 year warranty and they removed all unnecessary software (bloatware) from my PC before shipping so it was fast and I got one of the best deals for the price.

Plus they overclock your gaming pc and still keep it under warranty so you are gettting a even better pc than what I listed above. Good luck in your search

CyberpowerPC Which One Is Good For A Hardcore Gamer?

best gaming pc under 1500 image

David Ewin

I don't want to build a PC, don't answer with that.

I want a very powerful PC to play games like Arma 3 on medium graphics, ARMA 2 on max graphics, and Planetside 2 on max graphics. And have the PC still running smoothly.

I would like it to be under $1500 dollars monitor included. I have no idea where to begin, could someone please help me pick one out and say why they picked that one?

Answer
I went on the cyberpowerPC site and configured one for you. It includes a 1080p monitor, gaming headset, gaming mouse, gaming keyboard, and speakers. All together it costs $1265. I think it will max out most games at 1080p, but if you have the money, swap out the radeon 7870 for a 7950.

What parts should I buy to build my desired PC?

Primarily I will be using the PC for Pro tools so it will need to be very powerful, and be able to run demanding tasks smoothly. It will also need a very good sound card, and about 500GB of memory.

It's secondary function will be gaming PC, I would like to be able to play the latest games on high settings.

I don't want to spend much more that £1000 (not sure how many $ that is) but if it's under £1000 then even better!

So can anyone help me out? :)

Answer

What is the best computer under $1,500 for use with rendering video in Adobe After Effects CS3?

best gaming pc under 1500 image

Daniel C

My media projects are starting to get very big and effects-heavy. I want a PC under $1500 that will speed up my rendering times. I'm a novice when it comes to hardware, but one thing I know for sure is that I want a graphics card that is supported by After Effects. My previous PC was limited to software rendering, I want a graphics card to do the rendering from now on...

Answer
i'd go for an alienware desktop.. they're gaming computers so they can handle alot.. you'll notice that when you read the specs.

What is the best PC to play The Sims 3 on that costs under $1500?

MrRainicor

I want to start playing The Sims 3 again but I do not have a computer that is good enough for it. I am 13 years old, and I want to know if there are any computers out there that can play TS3 smoothly even on high settings. My budget is $1500 or lower. I am going to have all the EPs and SPs. Can anyone help me? And NO I am not going to build my own! I want to buy a pre-assembled gaming PC.

Answer
U dont have to build it, there are online and probably stores in your area that will do it.try calling the larger repair places and ask.for sims, custom pc is the best way to go.u can upgrade over the next 5 years or so and keep it cutting edge for its usable life.premade not so much .get dual graphics cards :P oh ya.if u need,spend the 1500 on the tower only and upgrade the monitor etc late.
