InstantNoodles Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello i'm looking to get a decent gaming rig. It's been awhile since I bought a computer so I would like some help and suggestions. I found what appears to be a decent rig for under 600, but with all nice things, theres always a catch. I would like some peoples opinion on this computer: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Refurbished+-+Refurbished+ENVY+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/1307357552.p?id=mp1307357552&skuId=1307357552 Also I would appreciate if you can show me other computers that would be pretty cheap but reliable. Games i usually play are LoL, CS:GO, various steam games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mafia Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Def build one if you can, mine was really easy to build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) gtx 550ti graphicsi3 processor8gb ram No but seriously, that is a decent computer, but you could build your own one that is WAY better for cheaper too. go to www.newegg.com Edited August 5, 2013 by Silibrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExGBrian Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) The computer runs on dedicated graphics, not on a actual video card so it would run laggy and slow at times. I suggest building something instead, maybe a mini atx pc with a cheap motherboard but a good processor and video card.

digitalshot Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yea i can build a computer, im just looking for a cheap solution for getting a computer Yes but I don't think you're listening to what everyone is saying, you can build a decent computer for the price you're suggesting and get better performance than a prebuilt computer from Best Buy. Also in regards to that best buy computer, I'm going to tell you what Monkey tells everyone else. Friends don't let friends buy AMD Processors.

InstantNoodles Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I really have no idea what to look for when building a computer. So far when i asked some other friends they gave me these parts: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115234 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211595 Like what other parts do I need and such?

KarmaOfPain Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You still need a power supply, RAM, and a case. Do you already have a copy of Windows? Also, I'll suggest to get a HDD to put all your games, programs, and etc. because that SSD will only cover your OS, and a small amount of games.

I wouldn't touch that SSD with a 10 foot stick, let alone your dick. An important part of selecting any sort of computer part is to make sure it has a decent and fair warranty. Adata does not. AVOID.

If you're on a $600 budget don't go for the SSD, also you're not going to have enough to spend on other parts if you drop $400 on a processor and graphics card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
