Gordon

Well, in a short question I want to buy a Gaming PC that can play recent games like Left 4 Dead 2 without any lag/problems and it HAS to be able to play WoW on the highest graphics setting without any lag and a decent framerate. Preferebly with Windows 7. Btw I'm just asking about a PC, no monitor or keyboard or mouse.

Gaming PC for under £400?

Sam

So I'm going to sell my HP Pavilion G6 Series Windows 7 Laptop for around £300 and I want to get a good gaming computer PC for under £400 - preferably compatible with playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Modern Warfare 3. I live in the UK so UK sites and prices will be necessary.

Please help me!

I don't want to buy everything separately. I want to buy the monitor, computer and everything else in one big set and it needs to be under £400.

Replies below please!

Thank you so much everyone :)

Answer
Onestly if you are going to build a decent computer for gaming as well as the Monitor and (I assume) Keyboard Mouse, Speakers, Windows....

£400 will not be enough....

I managed to build mine that maxes MW3 and plays BO2 very well for £370 + £30 monitor, I already had Speakers and a keyboard mouse combo. Windows I had from a friend.

This will get you a Decent build (I had many bargains)

Casecom K5-9388 (£32 at ebuyer)
Gigabyte 970A-UD3 (£72)
Phenom II x4 965 (£70) or FX-4170 (£92) or FX 6300 (£110)
2x2GB 1600mhz RAM (~<£30)
HD 4870 (I picked mine up for £40 - ebay)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w (again I paid £35 new and sealed on ebay, but usually £60)
Sony Optiarc 7280s or IHAS124 ~ DVD R/W drive (£15)
1TB HDD - £55 (ish on ebuyer)
Windows 7 64bit (£70)

Go onto Ebay and search for 19' to 22' Monitors (1600x900, 1680x1050 or 1920x1080) you might be lucky and get one nearby for around £30-40

Taking the Cheapest possible prices of the parts above - £449 <----- but you will be hunting for a bargain.....

My Advice-----
Save up to around £500-600.......you'll thank yourself in the long run

What are some good gaming monitors?

SomeBody

Im Building a pc and want to get a gaming monitor under $300. What do you think of the ASUS VS278Q-P Ultrafast 1ms 27-Inch LED-Lit Monitor or ASUS VG248QE 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Answer
the monitor you list is a VERY good gaming monitor. The 27" that is. You want the as fast a response time and the biggest size you can afford. Asus makes good monitors (and no I'm not affiliated w/them in any way) and you won't go wrong w/that 1st one you listed.

Best parts to build good gaming computer, for the cheapest?

best gaming monitor under 300 image

Q. I am trying to get a good gaming computer, laptops are too expensive, and desktops would be cheaper to build. That is why I am here asking you. I want a good and a really good, but cheap gaming computer. This is the cheapest way, and I was wondering which parts are the best, but also cheap, not as in quality, I don't want some parts that will not carry the games, break easily or wont last long. I want a good gaming computer. I like to play games like BF3, Planetside 2, and other big popular games that require a good computer. Not only do I want to be able to play the games. I want to be able to play the games in full settings and be fast with no lag, I want a GOOD and SMOOTH. I know it not going to be super cheap, but I guess it is the cheapest solution to my needs. So please just leave parts that I will need to make my dream computer. Basically I want to make myself a gaming computer but I want to make sure I have the best deals, and the best decisions for my gaming computer. Thanks.

Answer
If you have a Micro Center get either the FX 4170 or the 6300 (this one is a six core. Eventually this will be used in gaming and even the 8-core processors with the new Xbox coming out featuring an 8-core CPU) in the bundle packs with the m5a97 motherboard.

If not, get a Phenom II X4 965 processor with a motherboard of your choice. Preferably one with 2 PCI express slots for two GPU's if you ever decide to SLI or CROSSFIRE. Also, you can get the m5a97 here too. I like that one.

For PSU get any power supply that's 80+ bronze certified or better. Read reviews carefully on this. The true determinant of the power of a PSU is the amperage but you still want at least 500-600W. Some people like to go low with 400ish W while others go a little over at around 750W. It's never bad to be safe. 600W is a good number.

Don't go for anything under 6GB of RAM. The 8GB is the best bet since they'll really set you up in the future of gaming. With enough RAM you can avoid having micro stutters and even boost your frames by a good 2-10 fps depending on the game. Some games may even be affected by over 10 fps though sometimes they require some config tweaks. <-- Research by individual game. ArmA 2 and FSX can especially benefit from this.

For a case. Get something like an Antec 300. Computer nerds whine about bad cable management on this but you should be fine. If you're huge on cable management you can always go with the Thor cases which was really easy to cable manage. But my friends and I didn't anyway. I guess that's just a personal touch. Like being messy or clean.

GPU is where your BF3 experience is defined. The 6870 will have no issue running it. You can probably run it well on a 7770 but you might need to disable Anti-aliasing or at least have those on low. I'd say the 7770 is comparable to a GTX 660 or 650 I forgot which one exactly.
The lowest I'd go is probably a GTX 550ti. Any lower and you won't be running these games at over 20 fps without overclocking to almost overheating. Also, 7970s are great cards as are the 7870s. These will all run your games well. Future proof GPU's will push you near $200.

For Hard Drive make sure you get one that's 7200rpm. I don't know your budget, but if you can you should go with an SSD which will make your computer startup time of a fresh version of Win7 around 10-20 seconds. Otherwise, the 7200rpm HDD is a must. 5400rpm's are cheaper but not by a ton and they'll slow you down as far as loading goes. And get 1TB. I've filled up 2 500GB HDD's so far and I told myself I wouldn't need 1TB. You probably do if you're doing gaming.

Last Note:

If your monitor is 20-24ish inches your resolution is probably around 1600x900. That means you don't need as powerful of a GPU to run games on your computer. If it's bigger you might want to invest in those 6870s and 7970s. If it's smaller go for a 7770. At 1600x900 the 7770 will still run your games at medium quality with high frame rates. At least 40-50 fps for relatively demanding games.

What is a good gaming desktop for under 800?

Matt R

I'm looking for a decent gaming computer for cheap. I need something that comes with a monitor, that comes with dedicated video memory and a good processor. I have been looking around and it seems that the cheapest computer out there that looks decent is Acer. I heard that Acers are crap, though. Anyone know? I'm not a huge fan of Dell's Inspirons, but I do like HP. Also I hate AMD processors. I'm looking for Intel's Core 2 Duo, or Core 2 Quad.

Answer
Umm have you ever considered just making your own desktop? That way you can get what you want and will probably get the best deal since few companies will offer gaming rigs at reasonable prices. You can try ibuypower or cyberpowerPC but building it yourself if your best bet.

You could also look into barebone kits where they do all the hard stuff by finding the compatible RAM, mobo, cpu. All you need to install are the HDD, optical drive, and video card which is really easy. Here's a list of ones powered either by a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad. (Ignore the ones under $300)
