Cheap ish gaming computer websites?

Q.

A. I'm not sure what you are asking... so I'm going to provide you with a website to find all kinds of information on Computers - Gaming System Builds, etc that is well known for good advice and great system build ideas. Best site in the industry for computer tech and gamers in my opinion (thought I don't game myself, just use it to help me determine the parts to use to build various levels of gaming systems for my clients as the need arises).

should i go for career in website development or computer games programming?

Q. i am on a college course at the minute that will lead to both careers (national diploma in computing level3 (equivelant to 3 A levels)) but im wondering which to take.

if i go the website route i can do it straight out of college. pros: job possibilties straight away, money is good, no university debt, easy to start own business working from home. cons: no university education.

if i go for games programming then i will have to do three years at a university but i will get to work in games for a living. pros: working in games, university education. cons: three more years of penniless learning, university debt, not sure what money it brings in.

your answer should depend on these few things: best pay?, best career prospects, better career, easiest to break into.

Anyhelp greatly appreciated as my life and career depend on my decision. J

A. Coming from a similar background, I'm afraid to say that I would go with neither of those options!

Firstly let's tack website development. The biggest problem is that there are LOTS of people already doing it! It's a very saturated market and so whilst it's easy to get into, actually earning a steady income is very difficult if you're just going it alone from a home business. Money may be good, but actually sourcing the work as a new player in the industry will be tough - you may well be better off getting a role in an already well established web-design company if web development is the option you want to take.

Secondly, games programming. I really hope that you have actually done some - because it is nowhere near as fun as it sounds! Once again this is a task that lots of people already have the skills to do, although it is not as saturated as the wed development market. If you do wish to proceed down this route you will need prior experience before you go to uni, as more and more people who like gaming are taking courses so you should strive to excel at it... so that you can get recognition and employment! Low level coding is not a big earner, you will need to demonstrate your abilities to do much more than that whilst you are at university to ensure you get a better position when you leave.

I currently work as a project manager for a very large retail company in their IT sector. The choice of career never even entered my mind when I was at university, however being here I have to admit it's the best role I've had. I had considered working (and I actually applied for) several games programming roles... however turned them all down once I got a chance to see what the job actually entailed!

Look at what your skills are - do you enjoy coding for hours and hours? If so then perhaps a programming role might suit you, but remember that this doesn't pay all that well. Are you more creative? Perhaps then something like games *design* is more up your street, rather than games programming. Or are you good with timescales and working with others? If so then a career as a project manager or software engineer might be just what you're after - both of which pay more than web design or games programming.

Before you narrow your choices down to just these two options, make sure you really do have a GOOD look at what careers are available to you - as you said it's your life that depends on the decisions you make now so try to be as well informed as possible and choose a role that you enjoy but also offers opportunities for the future.

Best of luck!

Original Question

computer games?

Q. is there any computer games like final fantasy, chrono cross, even need for speed or rpg's that are free downloadable

A. First I'm going to tell you about the browser based MMORPGs, then I'll mention somewhere you can see the downloadable (all of the games play online). At the very end I'll tell you about RPGs you can play offline.
To play games in flash, there are Dragon Fable and Adventure Quest (In both you have to pay to have full access to the game, and notice that Dragon Fable is still under construction and that it's hard for non-members to login into AQ). There are also those community based flash games (that some people consider to be MMORPGs) that are becoming really popular: Gaia Online (that I already played and that is really cool), ClubPenguin, PuzzlePirates, and i think that Habbo goes the same way; in all of this games you create an avatar and play games like fishing to get money and personalize those avatars.
There�s also the pure browser based ones: Tibia is a fairly popular game, BiteFight and Knightfight are OK. Travian is a strategy MMOG, also pretty good. There�s also pokemon crater (but it has a lots of publicity) and, my personal favorite, FallenSword (it�s much like pokemoncrater, only that it doesn�t have lots of publicity, and has a guild system that stimulate interaction, not to mention the lottery and the auction system).
The downloadable... well, i think it's harder to speak about them. I'll also give you a link for the "List of free MMORPGs" on wikipedia, where you can see the downloadable games out there (in this list you can read about other browser based MMORPGs as well). Take a look at the websites and check the screenshots, maybe you'll find some that interest you. My favorites are MapleStory, Anarchy Online, Monsters and Me, Flyff and Silk Road. Seems like Rappelz is also pretty good.
There are also some really good free downloadable MMORPGs coming out: Sword of the new world (where you can control up to three characters at once - but you'll have to pay so that you can get over a certain level) and the global version of Lunia (it's still on closed beta, but will soon come out - keep an eye on it).
The last category of RPGs I'll refer to you is the one you can play offline. I mean, games made with RPGMaker, some are really good. I'll give you three links. Try "Three the hard way" and the games of "Legion Saga" (they are on the first two links). The last link is for a series of games called �The Way�.
Have fun.

Gaming desktop computer?

Q. i want to know what i would need to build a gaming DESKTOP computer under $700. i am really new to this kind of stuff. i am a console gamer, but i find it too easy and want more of a challenge. i know somewhat of the things i would need. such as a video card, motherboard, RAM, etc. but i am not sure what will give me the best performance for the money i am using. i will be looking to upgrade it later on in the future with faster and better performing things. but i really dont know what some of the things are used for. for example, what is the motherboard for, and why that one and not another. and if they are campatible with the other parts of the computer. also i want all performance, not really for the looks. so cheap affordable case would be nice that would last me a decent amount of time. ive also been doing research but there are a lot of mixed reviews about everything, and to a new guy like me, all these letters and numbers are confusing, so some explaination to some of the meanings of things that the parts have, would be very helpful, or if i could get a website where they give a good explaination about everything. i have read a few but they mostly just say what the item is and how much , but they dont explain how this could be better than any other part of the same price range and performance. i also will be mostly playing games such as battlefield, cod, halo (if it comes to pc), minecraft, runescape, skyrim etc. thank you so much, i am asking for a lot, i might as well ask if someone could build it for me. thanks!
also, i would even get the alienware x51, but i have a strong feeling that is might mostly be a rip off and not worth the money at all, all looks and no performance, but knowing if its any good would be great!

A. I checked Ironside. No bargain there.

A gaming computer is:
Case, Motherboard, Keyboard, Mouse, Power supply, CPU, Graphics card, cooling fans, DRAM, Operating system, Optical drive, HDD[s], audio output (speakers or headset), monitor/display or TV.
Gaming is mostly in the Graphics card.
Most show here:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
and the CPU is on the first tab.
Gaming summary, is matching the nearest benchmarked card to this:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
$720 gets this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227422
$700 gets this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227408
AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz is a bit of a waste because it has more cores than gaming can use, but it is OK. If building your own, FX-4100 is good enough and then try to unlock and overclock.
HDD is 1TB SATA II - would prefer Sata III
Has a decent AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
is a cheaper motherboard with Fast (10/100) ethernet instead of gigabit, 6 channel audio instead of 8.
The HD 7750 of the one costing $20 more is a lower grade graphics card. 5 channel audio and gigabit ethernet. I would get the $700 one first.

The Alienware X51 is next to impossible to upgrade because the case is too small.
The $700 and tax
2nd Generation Intel® Core� i3-2120 (3M Cache, 3.3 GHz) is no better than the newegg CPUs and probably a little lower in actual gaming. 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 is much lower than the HD 7750, and that is lower than the HD 6850. HDD is still SATA II they throw in a $25 wireless card. and use a $15 power supply 240W External Power
It is a P.O.S.
Not as good as a $530 one at Newegg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285
A HD 6670 approximates GT 545
FX-4100 approximates Intel i3-2120
The PSU is better, includes a keyboard + mouse, and just a smaller HDD. The Alienware is worth $575 not $700
The HD 6670 is probably not strong enough for you. See the chart of gaming. It is about a GT 555M equal. You can build your own, but the $700 Cyberpower is made with about $650 worth of parts.
On Build your own, use HD 6850 or HD 6870 or HD 7770 or GTX 560 ti
Use an FX-4100 or i3-2120 or so
Find a decent 650Watt power supply
You pretty much match the $700 system with tweaking the numbers.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1018125
This kit at about $600 or so, is missing Windows 7 and only has the 128GB SSD, but is about right overall.
This one also
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1018122
needs windows 7 and eventually a second HDD but is about right.

How do computer games give viruses?

Q. I use to play in computer game websites like cartoonetwork and nick but my computer got a virus and I want to know how do video game websites give you viruses? P.S. does funorb give viruses?
Please give a source.

A. I don't think Cartoon Network or Nick would give you you a virus, because they are giant companies and they are pretty legit. As for funorb, what the heck is that? You should download an antivirus program to prevent from getting viruses(AVG is good and, better yet, it's free!)
