What's the best computer to get?

Stackimaginable · Jan 18, 2014

Hi all. Just wanted to know what the best gaming computer for me to get would be. I kinda have to limit my budget to €100. Cheaper if possible. I know that's probably going to be hard to find one that cheap, but any recommendations? It would also help if it was on Amazon.co.uk. Not .com.

You will not buying or even building a computer for that much, let alone one that can play games I'm sorry.

Yea, you would be lucky to run windows. :\

Stackimaginable · Jan 18, 2014

Yeah. Any laptop recommendations with good graphics card/driver?
And what if it was a €200 budget?

FireRisinWithin · Jan 18, 2014

A windows liscence costs 100 dollars. I'm sorry but a computer for 200 isn't very feasible, let alone a gaming computer. Best to save up.

tiny voices · Jan 18, 2014

No you will still get nothing. You will need like 500 to get a laptop will play games even at lowest settings.

For 350 you could get a computer to play at low settings if you build it yourself and order parts from different sites AND don't need windows.

Otherwise 500 is the starting budget for a gaming computer.

I know. It's just my parents Arnt exactly the gaming type. So all the gaming stuff I do is kinda just over their heads. I got a laptop from my moms sister, cause her work had to get new ones and she only used it for like a month so my parents just say that I have that and I'm grand. But I really want a desktop.

I've heard minecraft runs on a rasberry pi. Maybe look into that.

Stackimaginable · Jan 18, 2014

If I were to get a desktop, could I transfer the windows license from my laptop onto it?

Ubuntu is free.

Checked EBay or something used with a Core2 Dual and Geforce GTX 260 or 9800GT

No, you cannot do that.

What about this?

Stackimaginable :

You can build a WAY better computer for the money. That will play at low and you could build one to play at high/ultra for that price.

FireRisinWithin · Jan 18, 2014

the 640 will really REALLY bottleneck that pc

Stackimaginable · Jan 18, 2014

I'm not the builder type. Any recommendations for computers made to buy on possibly amazon.co.uk. Asus preferred.

tiny voices · Jan 18, 2014

You don't want an ASUS, you want a GAMING computer. Look for Cyberpower and ibuypower. What is your budget now?

Stackimaginable · Jan 18, 2014

Well. I might be able to push my parents to about 500, but of course I will have to pay them back with my own money. I have over 500 in bank.

tiny voices · Jan 18, 2014

SO what is THE BUDGET? I need an exact number.

FireRisinWithin · Jan 18, 2014

500 will build you a good gaming pc. I don't know so much about buying one.

tiny voices · Jan 18, 2014

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyberpower-Gaming-Artillery-4-2GHZ-Windows/dp/B00C72IPW4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390092613&sr=8-2&keywords=cyberpower this is 500 and it will get you comfortable medium settings in modern games.

Alec Mowat · Jan 18, 2014

Stackimaginable :

I would shop around at local computer stores, they can probably sell you prebuilt custom system for a decent price.

How bout that? I don't want it to be perfect. Just able to run games. Don't care really if they not like 200fps

tiny voices · Jan 18, 2014

This has an APU and no GPU. It will run games at lowest settings and some modern games may not run well at all.

The one I posted is 5x better.

Alec Mowat · Jan 18, 2014

Stackimaginable :

The APU isn't powerful enough for gaming. It doesn't show the RAM speed either, and that makes a huge difference with APUs.

Ok. Thanks a mil tony voices.
