Neither. Build this and add a $100 monitor.

If you need it a little cheaper, drop down to a pentium dual core and 1150 motherboard.

will that be able to handle dayz/arma 4 and i am a little worried about building a computer.

Those companies have a really high markup. If you'll notice it doesn't even have a copy of windows for $519 so they're charging exactly the same for it as Toms built one for this week, except that every spec including cpu, memory, harddrive, etc are all worse.

A different video card for which?

If you're absolutely against building your own i found an HP Pavilion with an i3-2130 Haswell CPU, 8GB 1600mhz ddr3 ram, 1TB hard drive and windows 7 64 bit for $465 with free shipping with a coupon. Add a $140 750ti(I'm assuming you wouldn't be totally against just putting a video card in) and a $100 LCD and you're sitting at $700, The same price as the other two would be with an LCD added in, but much better specs than the "gaming" one from Ironside and already built other than the video card with a one year warranty.

hmmm sound good ill check it out

bccorrupt · Jul 2, 2014

Nah, better idea. I just didn't add more because I figured you had either bought something by now or moved on to other things. This just went on sale a couple days ago. Nice price and you could add the same 750ti. Looks and decent performance.

cant get that one im in canada

Ah, I forgot about that. Then I'd say the HP with a GTX750ti is a good choice.

what about the dell xps 8700???

throw :

$250 more for an i5 and windows 8 instead of an i3 and windows 7 doesn't seem like a good deal. Besides, I'd personally rather have windows 7.

The HP is a solid price. You'd be hard pressed to build an i3 machine with 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive and a copy of win 7 for that price even if you did it yourself.
