Will using a Touch screen all in one pc as a gaming monitor work?

gaming monitor pc world image

Mitch

For a long while ive had the Medion Akoya P9614 touchscreen Pc, The pc has broke but the monitor still works using a HDMI cable, i do not have a new Pc yet but i sure am thinking about getting a new one. Can anybody tell me what the reaction time of the monitor will be using HDMI cabel, will it be fast enough for 1080P gaming? ( If not i will buy a new monitor ) But if this one will be decent enough i see no reason to waste money on getting a new monitor, however i cant seem to find out if it'll be good enough.

Thanks!
By a good enough monitor i mean fast enough to play first person shooters like Cod and battlefield without trouble, something like a 5ms response time.

Answer
I would think the reaction time would be just fine, but I don't know for sure. I guess just buy the new PC and try it out before making a conclusion. If you're worried about budget and are looking at a PC/monitor bundle, consider building your own PC. It's will always be cheaper than any name brand that you can buy, simply because you're not paying for the name brand. Because of this, you can put that extra cash into building a faster one. Good real world experience, too.
Use newegg.com as a good reference for how to, if you don't already know.

What computer would be good for these types of games?

Just Fine

I'm trying to find a computer that could hold World Of Warcraft, The Sims3, and Adobe Photoshop CS4.

I don't want to spend over $1000 really, but I want a computer that will last a few years since it'll be my first desktop.


Thanks for the help!

Answer
Those are very reasonable requirements as none of those 3 require bleeding edge technology to work well. You failed to mention a few points. Are you willing to build your own system? This tends to be cheaper so you can end up with a better pc for the same amount of cash. Is the $1000 meant to include the monitor?

With that budget look for Intel i7/i5 or AMD Phenom II X4 processors with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and at least an nvidia geforce 240 gts or radeon 4770/5770 (or up ofc). The radeon 5000 series cards will give you directx 11 support and really future proof your system but are a bit pricier. As far as the processors go, the hierarchy is Intel i7, then Phenom II X4 (900 series) then Intel i5. A Core2Quad or Core2Duo will also get the job done, as will Athlon II cpus but for longevity go for one of the first 3 choices. Keep the cpu speed over 2.8 GHz (although a 2.66 GHz i5 is acceptable due to its structure). Some good places to browse for prebuilts are www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com
