Is this a good pc for gaming?

aquaflamed

Hi,
I was just wondering if this pc would be able to play most games like Call of Duty and if you think it will be able to play new pc games for the next 4-6 years after expanding to its max.
I'm getting this with a 20" monitor for $800, if you know of a better pc with a monitor for $800 or less please post
Here's the link

Thanks

Looks like a pretty good deal. Only thing you will need to upgrade in the future will be the video card and the power supply (400w is stock).

The GT 220 video card won't overwhelm you but it will do fine to start out with.

Wait a few months and the price of the GTS 260's should drop immensely.

Help with gaming pc!?

Juan camil

Hello.
I have a simple question, I want to buy a new gaming computer and I have around 1000 dollars for the pc, but I don't know if I should order a custom computer in webpages like Cyberpowerpc, Ibuypower and others or buy my own pc components on amazon and build it, but I have no experience doing that and I don't know if it is worth to buy the components and build it my self.

Answer
Well, building a computer is a lot easier than you'd think if you take a little time to learn the basics. It is definitely worth it to build it yourself.
Why?
- You'll learn about the parts of a computer and how to build one.
- You'll be able to spend your money on better hardware than you get with a pre built.
- Generally, even pre built computers advertised for gaming have low-mid end graphics cards that do not max newer modern games. So they will run but not always the smoothest or with the best visuals.

So here's what you should look into watching to get a good idea of everything first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPIXAtNGGCw (The Basics of parts)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls (How to build)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWsYKW-dRXU (A different, shorter how to build video)

NeweggTV has great videos! However, there are tons of other good videos on YouTube that can teach you everything you need to know. And there are lots of places online like Computer forum boards where people can answer any questions you may have.

This all may seem overwhelming but it is definitely worth it in the end, believe me.

Now here is a gaming build that I listed for your budget:

A few points:

- If you already have Windows 7 64-bit use that extra $100 to upgrade to a 7970 graphics card.

-You don't have to buy from these vendors, it's just a list but I do suggest shopping where it's cheapest. For example: Amazon usually has Hard Drives and DVD Drives cheaper than Newegg, etc.

-For a DVD drive you don't have to get exactly what I listed just get what is cheapest from where you're buying ($17-18 Lite-On, Sony, Asus, it's all good)

Video Card brand typically doesn't matter either, what matters is the numbers, ex) 7850. Just see which is the cheapest and still has good reviews.


I know this is long dude, but I hope this helps

If I order a PC Game via Amazon...?

Daryl JP

If I order a PC Game via Amazon.co.uk and nobody is there to pick it up, will they post it through my door or leave me a note to pick it up?

Answer
One PC game they will post straight through the door. It only needs to be signed for when you order multiple items that would not fit through the door.
