Looking for a good gaming computer?

[qmfosems22]

Hello, lately I have been looking for a good gaming computer to play games like Maplestory, League of Legends, Tera, Dragon Nest, and so on. My budget is under $1000 and all I care for is the FPS. I dont mind if the loading is a bit slow, I just dont want any problems in the game. Right now I have my eyes on this computer : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZKQA20/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

About how much frames can I expect to get? Also, if you find any better gaming computer on amazon please dont hesitate to post. I am not a computer expert so I can not build one, unfortunately. Im not even thinking of it. Anyways, thanks for the help!

Thats a s*** pc.That is not a gaming pc.And you dont need a 1000$ pc for gaming.You just need 750-900$ for a good and future proof gaming pc.But you need to assemble it.Dont buy an assembled pc as it costs more...Here is my suggestion

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (224.67$)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.99 @ Newegg)

You don't need to be an expert to build your own. It's all plug and play and install a few drivers. There a ton of step by step guides, I would say for a first time builder you could easily do it in an evening with maybe 30 minutes looking at guides first.

Regardless, do not get that computer, for just shy of $900 it's a rip-off. Just having a quick look this one is better, although the PSU is still rubbish and is just as likely to fry the system as power it, so you'll undoubtably be in for another $50 at least for a PSU.

If he assembles his pc on his own, he would get that pc you suggested 750$ and he might get a good pc than that...so suggest him the parts as he is not too young as he cant assemble and it takes not more than an hour for the beginners

Well it depends on how OCD you are about cable management (yes i'm a nut) but yeah you could slap it together in an hour. I agree he should build his own, I said so before, but he has to agree to do it, and if he'd going to flat out refuse the PC I linked was at least better than the POS he originally posted. Had a look at some of that builders other PC's. Almost criminal.
