Does best buy sell gaming computers that can run skyrim on high settings? How much?

Q. Ill have about 1000-1500 dollars and i really want a good gaming computer.

A. Hello

Yes, most of the time they sell the Dell Aurora. But...the problem here is that the warranty is horrible. And you may not upgrade your pc until warranty is over.

You are best if you build your own computer...is better, last longer and is customize. I build gaming pc of all tipes of choices...let me know if you are interested.

Where could I buy a good gaming computer for $800 dollars?

Q. I really want a gaming computer but I only have $800-$1000 dollars to spend. Where could I buy one that actually works well and plays most games. (Skyrim, Minecraft,Fallout 3,etc.)

A. You would be better served by building your own! Often the "factory" high end machines are NOT as high end as they clam! and they add a lot of unnecessary bloatware and peripherals you don't need. You can make a very nice game rig for $800....$1000 will make a REALLY nice one!

What would be the best and cheapest parts for a gaming desktop?

Q. Apparently, I am not good with putting parts together, because the price for the things I've got listed is over 1000 dollars, and I have heard of people with amazing gaming desktops for less than 500.

I'm willing to spend between 600-1000. Under 600 or close to it would be optimal until I get a job.

What I have so far, is:

Monitor : LG - 24" Widescreen Flat-Panel LED Multifunction HDTV Monitor

Tower : Corsair - Obsidian Series 650D Mid-Tower Case

Power Supply : Corsair - Enthusiast Series 850-Watt ATX/EPS CPU Power Supply

CPU : Intel - Core™ i7-4770K 3.5GHz Processor

Ram : NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card

Fan : Corsair - Hydro Series H100i Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler



I don't know if that is all I need, but it turned out being extremely expensive.

My first question is, would this be a good gaming computer?


My second question is, is there a cheaper set up that would be just as good?

A. If your main purpose for your build is gaming, then I recommend getting the Intel 4670K instead of the 4770K, the reason why, is that there is almost no game on the market to date that totally takes advantage of Hyper-threading and in some cases it has been known that hyper-threading can actually drop your FPS in some games.

What I recommend doing with the extra $100 you would be spending on the 4770K and invest it in a better GPU, something on the lines of the GTX660ti or the GTX760. The GPU is were you will see the most improvement in gaming all together as games now a days are more GPU intense then they are CPU intense.

Other then that, very very nice build you have going. Also one other thing, if you want to throw a little more money towards a better GPU after saving the $100, you can get a PSU that has 600W and it will still be enough power to support everything you have. Now a days everything is about power saving not how much power you have like it was about 5 years ago. GPU's don't even use a ton of power like they use to.

Hope this helped you,
