Q. I heard that Asus is one of the best gaming computers. But I am not sure I would prefer something other than a Dell/Alien-Ware. I play mine craft so I need something with great graphics and really fast processing.
A. NO OFFENSE,
But only a completely uneducated person would shop for computers by brand..
In fact I think you are referring to laptops here. I don't why all kids keep calling them computers?
Alienware is overpriced and Dell sucks, if you want to get down to brands.
Always look at the specs and the price, not the brand.

Computer Gamers: Could you help me choose a processor for a gaming computer?
Q. I'm trying to put together a gaming computer for my 13 year old son. He wants to play Mine Craft and Mech Warrior Online.
I've gone to the Costco HP web site, and used the customize feature. I think we need 8GB of RAM and a 2 GB Nvidia video card.
I'm undecided about which of these two processors to choose:
#1- 2nd Generation Intel(R) Pentium(R) G870 dual-core processor [3.1GHz, 3MB Shared Cache]
#2- AMD A8-5500 quad-core processor [3.2GHz, 4MB L2 Cache]
The pricing is better on the AMD processor.
Any input or insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A. I'm not familiar with the Costco HP web site.
The question is really what they are offering at what price. HP computers will always be minimalist in anything not specified in detail.
First, this appears to be the lowest priced true gaming system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227437
It is $565 delivered.
iBUYPOWER Gamer Power NE615FX Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-4100(3.6GHz) 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB Windows 8
An HD 7750 is a good graphics card, and FX-4100 is an adequate CPU. The RAM is a bit slower than it should be at 1333 MHz and the HDD is only a SATA II 3Gb/s and the power supply is weak at 300 watts, but normally HP will do the same thing to you.
The case looks nice.
If buying a PC, the goal is to use it for a few years, and kids get older and they advance to more graphics intensive games.
Mech Warrior Online shows recommended CPU at Passmark score 3790 or higher, 8GB RAM, and hard to understand the way they used difference class levels of graphics, but I would guess a good G3D of at least 1500 as one shows 1262 and the other over 2000. Minecraft is a much lower graphics level.

The Newegg PC shows graphics at 1586 and CPU at just over 4000 so it seems to be a very good budget choice for the games.
Neither of the two discuss graphics as a 2GB card. Intel starts with an unacceptably low integrated graphics and the AMD A8-5500 is acceptable in CPU at 4229 and built-in Radeon HD 7560D at a 680 score.
The G870 passmark is only 3121 so not high enough and graphics is very low so needs a graphics card add that may require a new power supply.
The second should be enough to play Minecraft very well and Mech Warrior online at basic to midgrade levels, but is below the top level play and will need upgrading one day, so would be good to know all the specs to see how hard it is to upgrade.
If no graphics card,
this standard PC is $500 with A8-5500, 1TB HDD and 8GB RAM.

A G870 system without a graphics card should be under $400.
Just not sure where you are at.
Send me more detail by email about price and exact features and I can reply whether the price is good for what you are getting and what to expect on those games.
You see, an HD 7750 is strong enough to play every modern PC game at reasonable settings, and the FX-4100 is a low budget choice that does work adequately on these low to mid-level gaming.
So far, the 2nd one is better, but the one I show at Newegg is a much stronger graphics card.
