best gaming computer around 1000 image

kid

I want a good gaming computer with RAM and around 250GB-300GB. I have around 1000$ to use. Where can i go (store or website) to get this computer? I also would like it customized
I got no idea how to build a comp, where can i learn?

Answer
Alienware isn't the best... you can easily build 2 computers of the same specs for the price of one of their rigs.

Unless you are made of money, stick to building a PC. If you can't go with Gateway, their deals seem better.

For 1000 dollars you can max all games right now.

Go with a E8400, 2GB (or 4) of ram, 320/500GB HD, ATI 4850/ nVidia 8800GT and the rest of the components. Even if you don't know how to build, services are probably around 50-100 dollars for building but you will save more than buying a pre-built rig. If you have a buddy into computers, ask him! :P

Good luck!

Anthony

I want to know simply whats the best gaming computer out there that can handle being pluged in a 37" samsung tv as my desktop monitor and very fast. I plan on playing games like skyrim, world of warcraft, mw3, and diabloIII. Also I would like to spend no more than around $1000 or less.
~Its a B-day present thankyou

Answer
Hi, screen size does not mean much, resolution does. Most monitors and TVs have 1080p res, which is 1920x1080. For that $1000 budget is perfect. I recommend Intel i5 2500K with good video card, 4-8GB RAM is perfect.
Check this page below - it has many great options for every budget, with free shipping and clear price you will pick what you need in no time. Warrior and even Hunter will run D3 on High no probs

Is it possible to change a computer from Duo Core to Quad Core?

takitaki33

I've been thinking about getting a gaming computer this Friday for around $1000. Planning to use it for 3-4 years. I heard that there was some Quad Core processor coming out early next year. If I get my computer this Black Friday, can I upgrade it from Duo to Quad? Planning to use the same parts just different processor.

Answer
You could upgrade but it probably won't be worth the time and hassle to make sure everything is compatible. In my opinion, in making a large purchase like this I would wait a few months to get exactly what I want. It seems that usually companies will hold out on releasing new stuff like this until after the holidays. So I would wait until after the first of the year, besides you never know what Santa will bring you!

How much would a good gaming computer cost to build?

Nick James

I'm not asking for a monster gaming computer that would cost around $3000. I'm talking about a suitable one that can get atleast 45 fps on first person shooters with max graphics. I've seen some good ones for $600, but I'm willing to spend $1000 - $1500.

Answer
When doing perfect shopping, using Newegg for Avatar, CyberpowerPC, iBuypower brands and willing to change out the power supply, the savings versus build your own is often very small, especially for the ones they cut in price because of customer dissatisfaction about what they bought.

In building your own, I believe it is best to use the addage, plan twice and cut once. It should take a lot more time to figure out what to get, then the mechanical processes of ordering and assembling and install and test. You should be willing to learn about each component available, and that also allows future upgrade and repair and issue resolving to be much easier, and avoiding those future potentials.

You have the ability to decide your goals.
- Highest gaming performance per dollar spent
- Aiming performance towards particular games and function needs. Some need strong CPUs and Crysis-3 seems to use hyperthreading and all the cores(even 8 core) where most other use only 4 cores or less. Video editing takes a strong CPU+RAM and a solid state drive. Internet speed takes an SSD to improve it by the cache storage.
- Quality, stability, reliability
- Upgradability - ease of upgrade - (It costs more for a proper 2 PCIe x 16 motherboard and better power supply than you need up-front and the better air flow of a good case, but it allows a simple add of a second graphics card in crossfire/SLI). CPU sets the motherboard options, setting up the CPU upgrade options.
- Appearance, aesthetics inside and out

You need to hone down exactly what you want to spend within about $50, and if you want more help from hardware guys like me, you will have to name particular games more than a category. Are you ONLY interested in first person shooter games, or might you expand to others.

Pre-built PCs often use the cheapest power supplies and motherboards, and your advantage in building your own is choosing better parts that won't cause issues.
You can get a great gaming PC probably about GTX 770 and intel core i5 overclocked with a good motherboard and SSD towards the top end of your price that would be a tier one gaming pc with ultra play. The monitor/display is very key also. Is that included in your price, and keyboard and mouse and speakers, headset, etc. You need to list what is included.
Parts compatibility and optimizing is key. In PCPARTPICKER you can share a link to a part list and ask for improvements with a price in mind. They have sample builds, so I'll skip that minor task here for now. I preferred to give you the meat of the process. Watch youtube videos about the construction and take digital photos of an inside of an existing pc to be able to duplicate it.
Adding: Are you near a Microcenter for their in-store specials?
