Best $1000 Pre built Gaming PC?

chrisballer3 · Mar 5, 2014

Hello, i am in search of a 1k prebuilt pc, which will be mainly for gaming. I intend on playing new games such as battlefield 4,watch dogs, titanfall,thief, and whatever else comes out within the next 2 years. That is the goal, to find a Good PC to last me about 2-3 years before some serious upgrades. I have come across a 1k pre built computer with the following specs:

Case
(NZXT Phantom 410 Desktop Chassis, Black)
Motherboard & Processor
(Intel Core i5-4670K Desktop Processor (Desktop Bundle))
Operating System
(Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit Edition)
Memory
(8GB G.Skill Ripjaws)
Hard Drive
(1TB 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive)
Graphics Card
(NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card)
Optical Drive
(24X DVD+/-RW DL Optical Drive)
600 watt power supply

How good of a pre built is this computer? Im not interested in building my own as of i have no time, nor the patience. Im considering placing my order for this PC, however i am no expert in computers whatsover, and i would appreciate some feedback and opinions. Also, what motherboard is considered a "good motherboard"? Based on these specs, i would assume it would take a decent motherboard to carry these specs, however the motherboard name/type isnt listed, so im not sure if i should be worried or not for how good it will be. Thank YOU

You could get 10x better computer for $1000 versus paying a company to put it together for you. Building a PC is so easy. Newegg or even toms has great videos on you tube and forums explaining how too. You will get so much more if you build yourself. Piece of cake, if it doesn't plug in there does not go there. I know you don't want to build they just charge you so much for it, but looks great to me.

ThOmAs McCoOy · Mar 5, 2014

try taking a look on newegg or microcenter.

babachicken · Mar 5, 2014

Which one is the best out of those 3? Also, does the motherboards in all of them support future cpu and gpu upgrades? sorry im a newbie.

babachicken · Mar 5, 2014

the second computer is the best of the three.

you wouldnt want to upgrade the cpu really. just the GPU and it will give you fidelity to do so.

chrisballer3 :

its just that you are ordering from walmart. you dont really know the quality of the parts such as the power supply. it just says "600w psu" that could be any garbage that you find.

babachicken :

these are all pre builts correct? I thought they were individual components for a second.

babachicken :

Very sexy^^^ go with that and yes don't order from walmart you just don't know the quality of parts your getting. From newegg its known good parts and most have replacement plans on each part. Yes all are prebuilt computers come ready to go.

babachicken · Mar 5, 2014

huh, never thought about that. it is possible that it is seperate parts.

ill tell you what. go onto cyberpowerpc and then you can build a computer to your own likings really

ThOmAs McCoOy · Mar 5, 2014

Yes build your own on one of the websites theirs several. Most important thought DO NOT FORGET TO BUY THE OS
