desktop computers under $500 that are really good for gaming?

Q. Just wondering if anyone knows any good computers (just the tower) that have good specs and such for somewhat heavy gaming? aswell as video editing? I dont know too much about computers so advice would be appreciated! thanks!

A. You have two options here....

option 1) buy a cheap brand-name destop and replace the graphics card. This works surprising well since most games don't need the latest and greatest processors (expensive processors are for multitasking not gaming) A dell inspiron 570 with a radeon 5670 would come in at 350+80=430. Add tax and your at around 450-500. This setup would be able to play games like starcraft 2, skyrim, elder scrolls, WOW, ext on medium-high with good framerates. It would be very easy to set up, installing a graphics card is just like installing memory. You open up your case and hook it up to the motherboards PCIexpress x16 slot. It takes less than a minute.

option 2) build you own from scratch. This is easier than it sounds. heres a good build for you....

processor -- i3 2100
motherboard -- Intel DH55TC
memory / ram -- 4gb corsair 1333 Mhz
Graphics card -- AMD 6770
Harddisc -- 500gb seagate at 7200 rpm
PSU -- Cooler Master GX 550 w
Case -- Cooler Master elite 430 ATX
Speakers -- Creative 2.1 speakers
keyboard n mouse -- Logitech MK200 combo
dvd burner -- Samsung 24x optical
UPS -- V guard 600VA

the total here would be around 500. It would preform better than the brand name+graphics card but it also is more complicated and would require some electronics knowledge that you may or may not have. This could game much better and would be able to play all the abovementioned games on high.


Good computer for gaming under $500?
Q. I need to help finding a good computer capable of gaming for around $500... The only requirment that I need is 1 or more gb of video ram, so I can run modern games at at least medium settings...

Thank you

A. You should build the computer. It may be overwhelming but it's worth it. Building it will get you such better specs than buying a made one. But yet, if you are to lazy, this would probably be the computer I would get if I didn't build them.

I know the computer is $30 over your budget but this computer is great for it's price. And it's currently on sale. This should not disappoint you. This can probably run your classic Call of Duties, Elder Scrolls, and Need For Speed at medium graphics with a 40 - 60 fps. Possibly even better.

And if that's not good enough you can always upgrade the processor, and overclock whenever. I would recommend a AMD FX 8350. But I don't know the motherboard's socket type.

If that thirty dollars is to much for you to pay than get this one instead -

Good luck with your computer and your gaming. (Build One!)
