Forgetful Predator Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ok so for christams this year I have decided to get myself a PC to replace my old laptop that is on the verge of breaking but since I have previously only played on a laptop I know nothing about desktop computers and towers ect. I was searching for a desktop and I came across this one : http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/pcs-for-gaming/acer-predator-ag3-605-dt-sqyek-004-gaming-desktop-pc-21656659-pdt.html?gclid=CLmmgujWvroCFafMtAodCVIAdA&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!31338745220!!!g!59338626500!&ef_id=UkM0eAAABEhL-Yr2:20131030133652:s From my new computer I want to run high quality games like GTA, Battlefield and COD but I would probably play on css the most. Is there anything better on the market that you know of? My price range is around £700 which is $1124.55 or 817.91 Euros (I think) Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonick Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I almost said that doesn't look bad at all until I saw the Pound / USD ratio. I'm sure enigma or someone will be along pretty quick here to give you some pointers =) You are gonna love making the switch to a desktop. More power and more screen =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mago Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 When I build my PC, I went to pcpartpicker.com They find you the cheapest prices and great deals. Tons of rebates so you can get something else if you have enough left. Also came from a laptop myself, you're going to love switching to a good desktop. It was worth every $ for me. If you have any questions, send me a message. Be glad to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxwonderbredxX Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's a good computer. But for the price it's asking is too high! I mean I spent around $900-$1,000ish USD, and I have better specs than that computer. Motherboard: ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4 CPU: Intel i5-3570K 3.4 GHz Ram: 16 GB G.SKILL SNIPER Graphics Card: Asus GTX 650 Ti 1GB PSU: Seasonic X-SERIES 650W GOLD HD: Samsung 1TB The only part that might be better than mine would be the Graphics Card, but I'm not really sure on that. BUT DO WHAT MAGO SAID!! Use http://pcpartpicker.com/ it's VERY GOOD. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetful Predator Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I searched around for PCs that are customisable for your own desires but you can buy them off the shelf and this is what I came up with: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition Operating system: Windows 8 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P RAM: 8GB Corsair vengeance 2x4GB Hard Drive: 2TB S-ATA III 6GB Optical: 22x DVD RW DL S-ATA Graphic Card: AMD Radeon R9 280x3GB Sound: Onboard 7.1 Audio PSU: 650w Corsair Vs This will cost me £700 pounds exactly or $1120 ( I think, I used the google converter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
