newbie looking for a good gaming computer

crazyspacetaco · Apr 1, 2014

Hi there i been wanting to get a new gaming computer this will be my first

I want to get a computer that can run games in high frames and dont really care about the graphics

Games i want to play: Minecraft, Titan Fall, Bf4, CS:GO, Dota 2 and any other game to come

My price range is 500-1500

And on a side note would want a pre-built one , I know there over priced but this is my first computer and dont know how to assemble or pick parts

Thank You :bounce:

for around $1000 pre-built you might just want a laptop if you just plan on having something that you won't ever upgrade. I bought this laptop about a month ago since I'm a programmer and I needed a little bit more power on the go http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313740 Probably the best gaming notebook for under $1000 plus you can take it to school,work, and to your friends house.

first, find a nearby PC shop that can assemble a PC for you. ask for how much. you should not be paying more than $50 for the service.

bring it over to the shop, wait a day or two, give em 50 buckaroos, and be awed by it. better bang for your buck than what most pre-builts can offer. i know you don't care about graphics, but with a $1500 budget, getting an i5+770 for that extra eye candy for around $1200+ is kind of a steal. you can save yourself a bit getting a GTX760 or 270X if you want to.
