Good small gaming pc?

Very good Gaming PC? Please read!?

  • I'm looking for a gaming PC because my computer needs to go. When I download free games/purchased games/torrented games on my PC it lags, and runs very poorly. I've already tried everything possible to make my games run faster and smoother but nothing works! Then my friend recommended me to buy or build my own Gaming PC. He said they were made especially for games and they run excellent. But the only problem with that for me is money. I looked at AlienWare gaming PC's and they are VERY expensive but worth the money. I am currently saving my money for a video game for my xbox 360. My friend said building your own Gaming PC is cheaper but takes alot of work. What I am looking for in a Gaming PC is fast, high memory, runs good on games, cheap, and well-built. Please help!!! What should I do??

BTW : I guess you have to dish out a little extra for the monitor(about 100-150$) and if your really into gaming, you can get the evga gtx 560ti SC($100 more expensive than gtx550ti). hope this helps you decide.

Look into Dell prebuilt XPS's. They're relatively cheap (less than 1000) and usually are a decent base for upgrading when you need to. That said, don't ever post publicly on the internet that you pirate/torrent games. Especially under your own name, Erik Anderson. Or else you will eventually get into some serious trouble. Just ask the torrenters from Amsterdam who had to pay $250,000 fines when they got caught. "It is inevitable, Mr. Anderson." --Smith

take ur friend advise and build one it will be cheaper than buying one from any store and u will get exactly what u want and for the same price as buying one from the store you will have a great pc, the ones from the store have to sell so high because of all the time and man power it costs to put any pc together. so for the same price u can build a great pc, that is way better than any one u will buy at any store for the same price, get what im trying to say

Alienware is never worth the money. Buying the best parts and building it yourself is the best way. A $600 custom built PC can have better performance than a $1500 Alienware. If you are interesting in building your own budget PC, check this site. http://gamingrig.blogspot.com If not, try this. It will easily give you better quality game play than a PS3 or Xbox360. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051U11L6/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=banforbucga08-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0051U11L6 Or this if you have a bit more to spend. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NDE4W4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=banforbucga08-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005NDE4W4

Alienware is definitely NOT worth the money. Send me any link you like and I'll build the same computer for you for half the money. If you're interested email me at [email protected].

Build your own pc or get a friend who has done it before do it or ask local computer shop to build one for you

Building a gaming PC is the opposite of cheap. Mine was £1500 or about $2000

well, try and find a cheap pc with a phenom ii x4 or an athlon x4, phenom ii x6 is good but only if you find one cheap, also a 3.4 ghz phenom ii x4 is better than a 2.8 ghz x6 since games dont use 6 cores, max is 4 cores soo...also the pc would be around 500 bucks, and find a pc with at least a 350psu, if you cant get the cheap pc with the processors i mentioned and THEN get psu and the graphics card seperate, since companies rip you off and a pc without graphics and good psu is like 499 but with it its 699, so buying your own psu and graphics card is cheaper, depending on the motherboard you get, and the prossesor, find the right graphics card for you, usually under $150 and a 350-500watt psu for the cheapest, you might think, well thats the same as if you buy the 699 pc right? WRONG they rip you off, give you the worst 350watt psu and the worst graphics card and trick you into think, oh look graphics card, imma buy that instead, but really the graphics card sucks

If you have to save money to buy a game for your XBox 360 then it would be my recommendation that you stick with your console gaming. In order to build a "proper" gaming rig you need about $1000 minimum. This is simply the tower. The rest of the peripherals are extra. Sure you could spend $500 and build a fairly decent computer that would be struggling with the latest and most resource hungry games. My Gaming Rig alone is $1400 including the retail version of WIn 7 Pro 64bit. When you get around a $1000 then you are ready to enter the GAMING arena. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.752648 would be a very good start for you. I would then invest another $250 in a gaming card like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604 . The CPU integrated GPU on the i5 2400 isn't that strong at all.
