Gaming computer for $500?

Q. hi im in the market for a new gaming computer and was wandering where i could find a decent gaming computer good enough to play skyrim on medium settings for 400-500 USD thank you.

A. hi corey
buying a gaming pc for $500 is pushing it.. and you may need to buy a seperate graphic card since most pc,s at this price range will have intergrated/onboard graphics
however look around especially at this time of year and you can find some bargains... and with that in mind i found the "ASUS Essentio CG1330-07 Desktop PC"( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220070 ) and suprisingly this is based around a AMD Phenom II X6 1045T cpu,yes a six core processor for under $500...
theres also 8gb of fast ddr3 memory and a massive 1 terrabyte sata II hard drive... and buring is done by a dvd super multi optical drive .......
there is a dedicated graphics card with this pc,however its only a radeon HD5450 which isnt designed for gaming .. however if you can afford another $80 ( bringing your budget to around $570) you can add another card to this pc making it more of a gaming pc
and the card i had in mind is the "PNY RVCGGTS4501XXB GeForce GTS 450 "( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133403 ) ... this is a excellent card for the price and supports gddr5 memory and along with the above pc will have no problems running games like "skyrim"
however since both the pc and graphics card are from newegg it may be worth contacting them and see if they can do some deal when both the pc and graphic card are purchased together...infact they may even install the card for you ...
obviously this will be slightly over your $500 budget,however you wont buy a specific gaming pc for under $500 ..so this would be your best bet.... infact if you purchased a six core based pc with a GTS450 you wouldnt have much change out of $800 so this is actually a great deal
i hope this helps corey,any questions let me know
good luck mate and happy xmas !

What's the best gaming computer for around $300-500?

Q. I'm considering getting a gaming computer, but if I'm going to spend hundreds on it, I don't want to be ripped off. What's the best gaming computer for this range, that has the latest graphics card, etc. My friend says I should let my other friend set me up with a custom-made computer because he'd get me a good deal, but I'm not sure if my friend setting me up a computer, or just buying a manufacturer's computer is better. Can anyone help me? Thanks
Well, yeah. I know 300-500 is kind of low, but my friend said for around that range I could get what I need if custom-made. Is that wrong, or is it just that the already-made computers overprice the computer just because they already made it for you?
And I wouldn't make one myself because I don't know alot about the hardware setup of computers. But, I do plan on learning.

A. ok first thing you need a great graphics card obviously BUT the graphics card is useless if you dont have a good processor to balance it out i play halo on my net book it has a great graphics card but the processor is not that great because its a net book so it has so much lag when i play so i play on my old acer comp it graphics card its not as great but it makes decent play.Another thing for a gametic cpu get at least 2-3gb of ram if you have 1gb its not as great.Now if your buying a computer then NEVER EVER get a mac for gaming its imposable to find let alone play! I recommend buying one if your making one then you should do it not a friend!
SO IN SHORT!

-good graphics card
-great processor
-decent screen
-2-3bg of memory
-get dell or hp

A. If you're going to build your own that would save you money.
Just make sure you have:

1. Dual Core processor at least 2.7 Ghz
2. Motherboard that supports SLI (in case you want to add another videocard)
3. Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 / ATI HD4830 or higher (If you want to play crysis at max, better invest in HD4870 or GTX 260)
4. at least 2GB memory
5. at least 160GB SATA harddrive

All those would cost less than 400$

What is a Good Gaming Computer for around $500?

Q. I'm looking for a good gaming desktop computer for around $500. I would like it to be able to play BattleField 3 (can be on lowest graphics. I don't care). Please don't say build your own because I have looked into that and I don't have the patience to do so.

A. The previous poster is correct, buy a cheap computer and install a better graphics card.

For example, take this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+Inspiron+Desktop+-+6GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/5611456.p?id=1218672937187&skuId=5611456

Then add this:

And you could play on medium or low settings, depending upon your monitor resolution

A. this is a 540$hp, currently out of stock but you can find it in other stores, can cerntanly play low-mid end games such as minecraft armour 2 and others , thats the whole reason i bougth it,

check out game debate, there you can search up games requirments and you will see the desktop below beats them or is right below them but not by much and you can always upgrade the graphics card and maybe do crossfire and play games like skyrim gta5 saints row 3, not that you cant already with the below desktop just that you will probably have to sacrifice some graphics in order to play with decent game frames but i assume not by much

Can I build a gaming PC for around 500 dollars?

Q. I was wondering if I could build a computer for around $500 that would be suitable for 3D gaming (TF2, Left 4 Dead, etc). Or would I just be better off buying a computer around that amount? I'm not a very rich man :c I've never built a computer before, either.

Thanks!

A. I wouldn't recommend it. I build my own, but I do that because I enjoy it. Recently fairly decent pre-built computers have been fairly priced. Meaning you won't save enough to make the hassle of learning to build a computer worth it.

As for the $500 price range, if your not looking to play anything newer than TF2 and L4D1, yes that's possible. The 3D card is most important: goto www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
and you can look up my card: Geforce 7600 GS ranked 354. Any computer at least 2gig memory with a 3D card that is of near or lower rank on that list would work great and I'm sure would still meet price.

Can I build a gaming PC for around 500 dollars?

Q. I was wondering if I could build a computer for around $500 that would be suitable for 3D gaming (TF2, Left 4 Dead, etc). Or would I just be better off buying a computer around that amount? I'm not a very rich man :c I've never built a computer before, either.

Thanks!

A. I wouldn't recommend it. I build my own, but I do that because I enjoy it. Recently fairly decent pre-built computers have been fairly priced. Meaning you won't save enough to make the hassle of learning to build a computer worth it.

As for the $500 price range, if your not looking to play anything newer than TF2 and L4D1, yes that's possible. The 3D card is most important: goto www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
and you can look up my card: Geforce 7600 GS ranked 354. Any computer at least 2gig memory with a 3D card that is of near or lower rank on that list would work great and I'm sure would still meet price.

I want a good gaming computer for around 500-600 dollars?

Q. I would like a gaming computer that could run minecraft, Arma 2, and Guild Wars 2 with high graphics. Can anyone help me with specs that include a monitor recommendation?

A. this is a 540$hp, currently out of stock but you can find it in other stores, can cerntanly play low-mid end games such as minecraft armour 2 and others , thats the whole reason i bougth it,

check out game debate, there you can search up games requirments and you will see the desktop below beats them or is right below them but not by much and you can always upgrade the graphics card and maybe do crossfire and play games like skyrim gta5 saints row 3, not that you cant already with the below desktop just that you will probably have to sacrifice some graphics in order to play with decent game frames but i assume not by much
