Gaming PC help

[beme11]

Hi guys

Im Looking to get a gaming Pc for around £1000 and was looking at this one, would it be able to run all the latest game at the highest settings? and how could is it?

That's pretty much cutting edge. If you're using a 60Hz, 1080p monitor, it's actually complete overkill, so invest in a 1440p or 144Hz monitor.

Is building your own out of the question?

I don't really want to build one just because im not into that. so all the latest games would cope fine, how long would it last for, and do you think theres any better gaming pc out there for that price?

 

[Brillis Wuce]

For $1000, no. That's a hell of a deal. It depends on your taste, but the 980 should give you great performance for at LEAST 2 years.

Thanks for you help it much appreciated, would this one be any better?

No, the first one is better. It has a much better chipset and case, but I just realized it has no HDD, only a 120GB SSD, which is not nearly enough for gaming. You'll eventually have to invest in an HDD for storage.

The Pc has been sold now and I cant buy it as I was too late, could you advice another gaming pc for £1000 that I could buy as I really have no idea what is good?

Hopefully these links work. After looking around for a while, these 2 were the ones that stuck out in my mind. You can't go wrong with either, and they'll both destroy every game out there.

The second one doesn't have an OS, so I'd go with the first one.

 

[beme11]

ok, the one that has sold has come back again so I could buy it again, should I buy it or go for the one you suggested?, I will finally be ordering today if everything goes right, thanks for your help again its been amazing

 

[beme11]

there is also this one I found http://www.powerc.com/uk/ps/Advertised%20PCs/1/act/gpage/code/nvidia-entryi5680

You can't go wrong with any that we've listed here, but be aware that the first one that came back onto eBay only has a 120GB SSD, as well, so you'll have to invest in an HDD.

Hi my friend has said that the pc going for £999 has a rubbish motherboard and would also need a 1-2tb hard drive and also maybe upgrading the 120ssd, so all in all should buy this Pc if the part are not very good and I need to spend more money upgrading anyway, or would it be better spending around £1200 on a decent gaming pc already built?

 

[Brillis Wuce]

There are good prebuilt PC's out there, but it's going to cost a bit more than 1000. I was looking around on eBay for a while, and this is honestly the lowest price for a PC that has everything you need. It has a good motherboard, processor, SSD and plenty of hard drive space. Also has the OS included.

ok thank you, would you say that the £1000 I suggested first is not very good with the parts it has?

The motherboard on the first one is actually quite good. Gigabyte is a great company, and its the upper end, Z series. The big drawback to that one is the lack of storage. It only comes with a small SSD, so you would have to invest in more parts.
