Which one of these pc's should I buy?

Scrazeloppe · Nov 26, 2014

So my budget is around $3000. However, I cannot use credit card atm so I can't buy pc parts otherwise I would be fine. I am asking which one of these pcs is good for gaming one is cheaper than the other but the graphics cards is what I'm focusing on. Will I be able to play most games on medium to high settings with a gtx 750 not TI? or should I get the second one which costs about $400 more and it is a gtx 760?

Strangely enough, the best one is the most expensive one.

Why are you looking at these if you have a $3k budget?

leeb2013 · Nov 27, 2014

bit of a waste to pair a 760 or 750 with an I7. Of course both are well under your budget, so not sure why they are of interested either, of course, the most expensive one with high model number GPU ie. 760 vs 750, is the best

Scrazeloppe · Nov 27, 2014

No I'm pairing those two cause I don't want to spend 3k on a pc since that would be a waste... And why is 750 so much worse than 760?

i7Baby · Nov 27, 2014

See http://versus.com/en/nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-760 eg -

"Notably more shading units

1152 vs 512

640 more shading units. Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image."

640 is better but the number is bigger? that's wierd xD

i7Baby · Nov 27, 2014

Sheesh - 1152 is 640 more than 512!

Scrazeloppe · Nov 27, 2014

the gtx 640 card your saying performs better than a 750. But why would the card be lower end when its newer gen?

i7Baby · Nov 27, 2014

wtf are you talking about? Read the link I posted. we're talking gtx 750 vs gtx 760. Nothing to do with GTX640.

Scrazeloppe · Nov 27, 2014

Nvm I'm stupid that's all. Anyways will that PC be able to handle most games medium to high?

i7Baby · Nov 27, 2014

Yes gtx760 is a solid middle to high end graphics card.

(i5+gtx970) > (i7+gtx760)

Scrazeloppe · Nov 27, 2014

i5 better than i7? explain?? btw how do you upload a profile picture, I'm new xD

TofuLion · Nov 27, 2014

the i5 itself is not better than the i7. its the gpus in that equation. gtx970 is much better than gtx760.
a good i5 is actually more than enough and a good i7 is overkill. strictly speaking in terms of gaming, since most current games aren't able to scale into 8 threads and, therefore, the advantage that an i7 has is actually wasted. the extra threads are utilized greatly in other scenarios, however, such as heavy multitasking, video encoding, etc.

After 5 posts you can fix your profile etc.

leeb2013 · Nov 28, 2014

So is $3000 not your budget now? What's the new budget?

Scrazeloppe · Nov 28, 2014

Like I said I don't want to pay 3k for a pc that's overkill.. I'm just saying I have 3k if I should buy the pc then install a better gpu in it or not. the store has gpus let me list them.
