best gaming pc under 900 image
Angel Mart
Im looking for a gaming pc that can run games like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim a little past recomended settings. Maybe a pc with 8 gb ram, quad core, and better than ATI-Radeon HD 6750. Im hoping to find one in under $900, or if possible, under $800.
Im not much of a pc wiz but if you could leave any links to some computers with these qualifications I would be really grateful.

Here's a great PC, it has an AMD 965 B.E. (Quad Core) which is still a fairly powerful processor, it's not a i5 2500k by any means but it will definitely get the job done. Also it has an AMD 6850 (Far better than a 6750) which is what I have in my system, I play BF3 and Skyrim on High settings with 40-50 FPS, it runs so smooth.
Also you can design your own PC if you want, and you said you're not much of a PC wiz, these guys offer free consultation, so they will work within your budget to get the most bang for your buck.

Like I am telling everybody, that says they have a budget, your biggest savings is going to come if you already have a hard drive, even if it is a SATA2 drive, just reuse it for a few more months. The price of hard drives has doubled and tripled over the last few weeks, due to flooding overseas... The SATA2 drives will be slightly slower, but the price of a 1Tb SATA3 64mb drive is $220 here in the states, they were $76 about a month and a half ago... which will eat up most of your builds money... So if you have an old drive, use it, and that will save you alot for the time being for better faster hardware now... For budget vs. performance, you cannot beat the i5 even the 2300, 2320, 2400, 2500 i5, with a good z68 chipset motherbaord can overclock up to 3.8Ghz, which is really no slouch... Using the same graphics card, a 560GTX ti 950mhz, gained 4000 points in Futuremark 06 from just upgrading to the 2400 overclocked to the same 3.8Ghz that my old q9550 was overclocked to... To put it like this, the q9550 stock out performs about all the Phenom II quads, so as you can see even my q9550 overclocked was kinda bottlenecking my 560GTX ti... The Sandy Bridge is just that good of a platform... Look for used i5's on ebay for bid, and try to snag one cheap. I got my 2400 i5 for $120, paired with a AsRock Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard, G.Skill 2133mhz ram, and my old Gigabyte 560GTX ti... My setup would cost about $600 American, leaving you some breathing room for a good heatsink fan for the CPU, and a good cooling case, and even enough for a decent hard drive, if you don't have one...
