(i posted a similar topic earlier, I apologize for any re reads)
What I need computer for: Gaming, nothing special, just want to run World of Warcraft (mmorpg) on highest settings with no lag, while being able to have other tabs up such as music etc. Possibly streaming.
Here are the two computers I am having trouble choosing between (I know, haha, buying from bestbuy, but I don't know any other reliable sources):
- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xps-desktop-12gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/1746157.p?id=1219062510151&skuId=1746157&st=pcmcat287600050002_categoryid$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=5#tab=reviews
- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ideacentre-k450-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/3275001.p?id=1219091559948&skuId=3275001&st=pcmcat287600050002_categoryid$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=1
The Dell has 12bg memory which is plenty, not sure if more than needed for running one game. Also i might be wrong but the Dell seems to have a faster processor. The main difference here is that the Lenovo has 2gb of dedicated video memory, compared to Dell's 1gb. I don't know how true this is, but I heard that 2gb is more than enough for using one monitor (which i am). So weighing out the differences, which would be a smarter pick?
Thank you, all feedback is much appreciated
