What gaming PC should I buy/build?

[Jack Whitten]

I am looking for a PC (preferably a laptop) that can run most modern games like BF4 on ultra, and Crysis 3 on high. My price range is $1,200 and I will take the best one I can get for the money. Building is a last resort, as I mostly want a laptop, but will accept desktop if it's good enough.

buy PC, laptops are not for gaming

Unless you get an Alienware gaming laptop. Don't get a laptop for gaming purposes.

Desktops are best and with that budget, you'll get an amazing build.

I don't really keep up with laptop tech, but last time I checked, at the $1200 price range, you're still looking at low graphics settings. Friend got a Y510 or something similar, the one with SLI graphics cards. He couldn't even run BF4 on low.

msi has one in that price range that can handle medium.. but your def right, should just build one and be able to play on high or ultra.

If you don't know how to build one, get a pre-made and spend the rest for a good monitor.

The GTX760 is good. BattleField 4 on ultra at 1080p res will give you a solid 45+ FPS. It's playable but not competitively.

Hi,

I just recommended this laptop to someone and it has a GTX 760 2GB, which should play BF4 (like the above commenter said).
