Hello, I have put together a list of components which I believe are the best value for your budget. CTurbo's build is also great if you require an operating system too; however if you do go with his/her build, I'd recommend you purchase the motherboard I have listed below (even if you're not...

Hello there! Honestly I am quite surprised to hear you're able to run GTA V at ultra graphical setting with an Intel Core i3 and a GTX 650 (I'm confident the 2GB VRAM assists here). Taking a look at the system requirements to run The Witcher III, it seems to demand quite high specifications...

I have curated together a list of components which assembles to become quite a powerful machine considering the somewhat low £400 budget, especially as this is to be a gaming machine. Personally if your friend desires a PS4 then he should purchase the video console; if he later despises or...

I'd recommend Intel, as explained numerous times in previous threads at Tom's Hardware purely due to Intel possessing stronger single-core performance over AMD; as games only utilise 4-cores at maximum even in 2015, it's better to have stronger 4 cores rather than weaker 8 cores (where only 4 of...

Hello pcgamer568, Thank you for your follow up response and I do apologise for my late reply, it took me a while to put together solid performing components within your budget (plus I'm from the UK, hence within a different time zone). If you're willing to purchase a used processor (CPU) and...

If you're looking to upgrade in the future, Intel is your best choice without a doubt; for gaming alone I would recommend Intel too. AMD sockets are pretty much outdated these days whereas Intel provides a stronger single-core performance, hence you will notice a better game-play experience...

Unfortunately to say the Asus pre-built system from BestBuy is not ideal for gaming, especially when you could build a gaming computer yourself for the same $500 price. The Asus does not have a dedicated graphics card which is essential for both minor and immense graphical gaming, it in fact...

I would not recommend the build you have linked above for $600, instead I'd recommend the following build: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($175.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard...
