What is the best gaming computer you can get under 500$?

Q. i need a decent gaming computer under 500$ tell me a good one please. Thanks.

A. To get one for that price you will be better off building your own. And to build a decent gaming computer for under $500 may be a little difficult unless you have some components you may be reusing, such as power supply, case, etc... If you do have a power supply, you need to check the wattage, you need at least a 500w.

Can someone please put together a list for a gaming computer?

Q. I want to build a gaming computer or laptop ($500-$600) that will play StarCraft II on ultra settings (max). If you know of a good laptop or computer that will do this and at this price that is a reliable computer, tell me please.Please! I find builds, but I want one that someone finds very recently and with parts on the market right now, not lists that are out of stock because they were posted 3 years ago. Please and thank you for your time!

A. Look into this part list:

The i3 is good enough for gaming, and the 6770 can run SC2 at a comfortable framerate. Doesn't include OS or DVD drive. It'll last, because the new Ivy Bridge processors are going to use the same socket type as the one listed.
Subtotal: $597.93

What processor would you recommend for intense gaming?

Q. I enjoy a fast computer and want a fast processor for gaming, video editing etc. I really like AMD processors but i would like a fast processor that is under around $175

A. It depends on how fast you want your processor to be and how demanding th game are that you want to be able to play. For $175 you wouldn't be able to get a fast processer but you could get a normal one. If you want a really fast processer for the most demanding games you would be looking at $500 +

Hope I helped :)
Happy new year! :D

What makes a good gaming and video editing laptop?

Q. I am going to college in the fall, so I am in need of a good laptop. According to my parents, it is inevitable that I will be getting a PC around $1,000-1,500. I would prefer HP with Windows 7.

Anyways, I want a laptop that would not only run games well, but also run video editing software well. I want to play games like "Minecraft" and other Steam games on high settings without much lagging. I am going to get Adobe Premeire Pro for video editing.

I now that I need a good dedicated graphics card (ex: NVIDIA) for the games, but that's about it. So, what specifications do I need to look for in a good video gaming and video editing laptop?

Thanks!
@TheTurtleGuy: I'd like to have Alienware, but their laptops are WAY too expensive. And like I said, my parents can only give me a laptop around $1,000 to $1,500. Thanks for your answer, though.

A. Elements of both a good gaming and video editing laptop are quad core cpu, a decent amount of ram (8gb or 16gb recommended), a high end gpu (depending on resolution).

CPU - i7 intel (the mobile i5 cpus are dual core cpus with 2 additional threads)

GPU -
1366x768 resolution max settings - Radeon HD 7850m or Geforce GTX 660m or better (30-40fps+)

1920x1080 max settings - Radeon HD 7970 or Geforce GTX 680m or better (25+fps)

EDIT: Geforce GTX 650m is also good for 1366x768 if you don't mind scaling back some settings like antaliasing or play at 1080p and cut back on antialiasing and some details.

Btw, although Alienware is solid its very overpriced.

Edit: The dell costs $400 more than the cyberpc similar specs.

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu

You can buy more ram or an ssd seperately and install it yourself.
