What is a really good gaming computer ?

Q. So I used to be on top of all the gaming news in the world but I kinda quite with computer games and went to consol games. Recently i have been missing the computer games and all I have to play is a 6 year old computer.
I have a mac but that can run games anywhere near as good as I would like it to.
I kno of a lot of companies that make amazing gaming computers. Like alienware but I was just going to ask are there any good gaming computers out there for a relatively low price??? Thanks for any answers!

A. Have you considered building your own gaming computer? It would be much cheaper than buying one from a company, such as alienware, that puts it together for you. You can go to newegg.com and buy the parts listed below for 2 different good gaming computers. The first gaming computer can run most games like WoW, allods, cally of duty, HON, SC2 etc at a little less than max graphics pretty well. The second custom computer can basically run any game you throw at it on max graphics at over 60FPS easily.

What is a cheap site to build a computer?

Q. Hello,
I tried looking around and google for a site. I'm getting tired of this computer freezing up on me just about every time i click on something. I'm looking to build a gaming computer. I want a site that is a low price.

A. eBay! I just bought my barebones PC from Magic Micro. There's about 3 major companies that provide this service on eBay. Just search Barebone computer and you'll be able to browse different cases and upgrade or downgrade the hardware right in the auction. I bought a 3.2ghz quad core 24gb ram, blu-ray, no os, no HDD for under 1K! I was getting ready to spend over $2500 for the same specs on Dell.com. I dont need the operating system, video card, or hard drives since I already have those in my current computer. Saved LOTS of money.

What are the best gaming computers for a low price?

Q. I have been playing strategy games such as total war and crusader kings on my toshiba Laptop (running i3) and I'm tired of its crapy performance. I have been looking at some gaming computers such as cyber powers and Ibuypower computers but they are quite pricy. All I would like to know is what types of gaming computers offer good performance for a good price.

My price range would be between $600 and $850

A. If you don't know anything about computer hardware, I recommend looking at 'already built' systems. There are many factors in which components might not be compatible. It's best you leave it toprofessionalss so you get the best performance.

HOWEVER, if you do know a thing or two about pc hardware, building your rig could be well worth it. A bit more costly I'd like to add. It seems that you're quite frustrated with your laptop, so perhaps spending the extra money could be worth it, as you'll never have to stress about a slow system again.

Those PC's at cyberpower look bada** but I'm a little concerned with those digital temp monitors at the front of the case. Things like that aren't useful to most people + they add to the cost.

What is the huge difference that separates the performance between AMD and Intel processors?

Q. I have been looking up different motherboards and processors for a good gaming computer and keep finding mixed reviews towards AMD, while there are a majority of good reviews towards Intel. Since the PC I plan to make has a low-ish price range ($1000 Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, everything included) I would like to know if buying an AMD to get a lower price would be a bad choice. Thanks

A. The difference is in the size of the transistor gates that they use as well as the layout of the more than one billion transistors on the chip.

AMD can't compete with Intel on the high end- for now at least, Intel wins hands down on the top performing processors. There processors are also more efficient, making them better for laptops. For mid-range desktops, however, AMD provides better performance for you money. There's nothing wrong with getting a Phenom II or an AMD FX processor for a $1000 computer.

What's the lowest price computer that can run Diablo 3 on maximum graphics?

Q. Also: would a $500+ laptop be able to run Diablo 3 on max graphics? (my friend and I are having a debate on what price a good gaming computer should cost)

A. Lappys are not good for gaming at all. For cheap - only AMD A series (A6 and A8), otherwise you are looking at discrete video with $700+ tag. Or better get a gaming desktop which would be much better

Looking into building a Gaming computer. Could I have some suggestions and an estimated ballpark for price?

Q. I am looking into building a Gaming computer. Could I have some suggestions and an estimated ballpark for price? Just give me some links,and a price with PA sales tax (6% on the dollar) Please keep it under $700 but have it be able to work on the most current games please.

A. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yIa0
$714 after rebate delivered, unless you change the power supply to the CX600 to bring it to $700
Most should not collect tax and delivery should be shown at included
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
The core i3 is a gaming tier 2
Got the graphics up to HD 7850
The lower wattage CPU (55W) and moderate wattage graphics (130 watt) plus fans and drives allowing 60 watts, means 245 watts on 12V, and 30% buffer is 318 watt target or 26.5A on a single rail.
CX600 with 3 year warranty has 46A available
The XFX with 5 year warranty and solid state capacitors is 44A
It is possible to knock a few dollars off the motherboard using a B75 one.
An Intel build allows later upgrade into an i5.
The Phenom I saw in the other build is power hungry and has no better gaming than the i3.
I chose a decent computer case, but there are others with at least 2 fans (intake+exhaust) and USB 3.0 and 2.0 on the front panel and is spacious inside.

What would I need to build a gaming computer?

Q. I want to build a decent computer for a low price($400-$500). What would I need to be able to run games like arma, minecraft, and bf4. If you can get a setup and write down on a list and possibly where I can get it it would be much appreciated.

A. You can't build a good computer for that price.

You'd need more like 1500-2000 to build a good gaming pc.

Whats a good gaming computer at a lower price?

Q. I'm looking to start diving into PC gaming. I'm not very smart on computers, nor am I rich. I'm just looking for a good quality computer at a lower price that can run: The Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, Counter Strike, Minecraft, etc. Can anyone think of any computers? Nothing expensive like Alien Ware, at least 700 dollars.

A. If you want a cheap computer, you're going to have to assemble it yourself.

Here's a prebuilt one though.
