Looking for a good gaming set up (looking to spend no more than £500)29 July 2012, 19:10 (9 months ago)
 Hey guys.
Lurked here for about a year now, and thought I'd finally create an account. I have a question, and what better place to ask it than people who play games a LOT? haha, anyway. I need your expertise! What I need to ask is this. How good is this PC? and could I find something better/as good for a cheaper price? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VIBOX-NUKE-SX2-AMD-FX-QUAD-CORE-ATI-HD-6670-8GB-1TB-WINDOWS-7-GAMING-PC-COMPUTER-/200726965455?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item2ebc426ccf#ht_2679wt_1139 Let me know! Thanks guys! :) Thanks! :)
I'll write a quick spec for anyone who cba to follow the link (I know the feeling!) Processor: AMD FX 4170 AM3+ Quad Core 4.20 GHz Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 6670 2GB HDD: 1TB RAM: 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM Motherboard: Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Ask for any more details! :) Has a crap video card ($79 new) and motherboard ($49 new) and the case is like $50. CPU $139 new and the memory depends on the manufacturer, best estimate $50. I'd pass on it because you could build from scratch and get by cheaper and have a better PC, but that's my just my opinion. You serious? Link me to those prices! Haha http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1875257&CatId=7005 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1963429&CatId=7375 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1963183&CatId=7341 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2543337&CatId=1509 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=752486&CatId=10 You can browse around this site and find some great deals. Do they ship to the UK? :) And what would you suggest I buy instead of the current MB and GPU?  I know I'm a cheeky bastard, but you guys seem like you know what you're on about (I haven't a clue - I know laptops a bit, but desktops are a whole differen't animal).
Could someone recommend a set up that costs between 450-800 dollars (300-500 GBP)? I'd really appreciate it! :) Guild wars 2 is coming up soon, and I wanna PC that's ready to handle that, ARMA 2+3, and more!  What do you think? What would you change?
