What is an affordable gaming desktop?

Getting rid of my gaming laptop for a gaming desktop what gpu is good?

  • I can compare cpu's but gpu's are a little harder. My laptop has a Nvidia 460M GTX which from what I read is more equal to a desktop 250 or 260 gts so I am trying to find a gpu that can be equal to my mobile. Looking at both ATI and Nvidia. I know mobile cards are not as good as their desktop counterparts but that is as much as I know. Thanks for the help!

  • Answer:

    tomshardware.com online regularly published charts showing the relative quality of cpus and gpus modern games -- i suggest an i3 in the 1155 socket on a z68 mobo with an HD 6870 graphics card, but read the articles in which Toms builds gaming boxes and their comments about how well they play the various games.

the gts 250 is very week out dated card . . try to aim for the gtx 460 "desktop version" or the HD 6850 from a decent gaming experience . .
