I'm looking at buying a new gaming PC on a budget of £500 (about $800). I already have a 20" widescreen monitor and good surround speakers so I just need a base unit with a keyboard/mouse/gamepad. What kind of spec would people recommend such as motherboard, processor, RAM and graphics card? I obviously don't need the best spec just something fairly decent which won't become outdated too quickly.
Thanks.
Answer
Honestly if you want a serious gaming PC, you need to spend more than $800 if you want something that can stand up to the newest games out there. A lot of the newer stuff has some pretty rigorous specs to run them. Mainly the biggest thing you need to look for in a serious gaming machine is a power supply that has enough voltage to handle the power demands for the big video cards and motherboards that can run the games relatively smooth without a lot of jerkiness and lag. If you are serious about gaming, then you might want to consider upping you budget to at least $1,500 or more. My gaming machine is worth nearly $4,000, and was every bit worth the investment.
