Q. Hey i'm looking to buy a gaming computer under $1500 to play games like call of duty 4 or Hellgate. Would ya'll say like alienware or somthing like that?
Thanks =]
Thanks =]
A. That's a hard one. Obviously, you are going to need to pay heavily for a good graphics card and a nice amount of memory, which you will need to play games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4. I would recommend a computer from Velocity Micro (desktop, laptops are way too expensive for a gaming computer in your price range). They are pretty well priced and look great.
Alienware computers are popular, but overpriced-not saying you can't find one in your price range, but they are a rip-off. I love Falcon Northwest, but once again, they are overpriced. Dell, Gateway, and other "standard" companies may have good deals, but they won't give you great recommendations for gaming.
If you have some time on your hands, I would recommend building your own. You can buy parts from newegg or a nearby store with a BYOC center. Despite what people say, it is not hard or expensive to build your own, just time-consuming. Find a guide online or someone at the store to help you, since buying a computer without all of the parts you need would not help at all.
No matter what, spend more on the Graphics Card and Volatile Memory (RAM). Upgrade those before anything else. Any dual core CPU at or above 2.4ghz should be fine. Spend the least on the case-if you need a cheap computer, go with a cheep case. After all, better to have a crappy looking powerhouse then an awesome looking paperweight.

A. Hello!
When trying to figure out if the desktop that you want to purchase will be able to run the game that you are wanting to play, first be sure to take a look at the "minimum" and the "recommended" system requirements that the game manufacturers publish with every game and then compare them with the system specifications.
The system that you listed there has a fairly fast processor, and 8 GB of RAM (temporary memory), a moderately large hard drive (500 GB) and a good video card. The only thing I would probably consider upgrading on the unit would be the power supply. The video card alone requires 350W of power. If you ever wanted to upgrade any of the hardware in the system you also may have to upgrade your power supply as well.
Don't be afraid to shop around a bit. Stop by a local store to take a look at what is available in your price range. Do ask experts for advice and take notes. Compare computers that you like. Look for a computer that has:
--> A high performance processor -look for a Quad Core or better Processor
--> At least 8 -10 GB of DDR3 RAM
--> A large HDD (500 GB is medium size these days)
--> 500-1000 W power supply
--> Independent Graphics Card
--> The ability to be upgraded / expanded easily
and don't forget about the "extras" that you might want such as a high performance gaming mouse, surge protector, backup battery, and a service / protection plan. Most computers come with a manufacturer warranty, but that coverage is for a limited time and does not cover everything.
No matter where you go to get your computer, you want to make sure that your computer is covered in case of a power surge, or problem that happens after the manufacturer warranty period expires, or a problem that is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Happy Gaming!
