Hey guys ive been having alot of trouble finding a gaming pc (not bothered whether compact or huge) for around my price point. I regularly game on a daily basis and like to play games such as LOL and Skyrim/FNV and would like to play them on the highest settings with no lag if possible as well as games such as Battlefield and Rome total war 2 on the highest settings with no lag. If my budget is to low i can go up to around £1500 but that is really the limit. Id like it to both look good as well as being able to handle basically everything I can throw at it including games like metro last light on as high a setting as possible(i know its a graphical monster so even medium/ high settings would be amazing) although looks are less of a priority than the gaming power as that will be where i focus most of my attention. Any info you guys could give me would be awesome and hugely appreciated.
Id like to know what is the best system that i could get for this price point and if you guys have any recommendations to stretch the budget id like to know. Thanks for the input guys.
*Update im looking for a pc not a laptop and i also have nothing(no parts for re-purpose and i dont want to build it myself
*Update 2 im pretty new to this whole thing but will these systems come with built in wifi as my computer will be far away from an Ethernet port

Pretty Cool Build but with no peripherals
 
Solution


Hey i will need a monitor but those are things that dont fall directly into my pricing and as suchim willing to spend money out of my budget on my peripherals and i have no case or other parts that im intending on using, thanks
 


Wait, so the monitor is not included in the 1300 quid budget?
