Best Buy Gaming Computer?

Jordan1920 · Nov 28, 2014

Hi there,
I'm torn between a few computer systems. This is my first time buying a computer, so I want to make sure I'm not making any rash decisions. My budget is around £450, although I'm willing to pay £20 more if there's amazing deals., and the computer will mainly be used for gaming. The main game is Minecraft, yet that's only the starting point.
The first one is on amazon.co.uk : http://www.amazon.co.uk/ADMI-GAMING-PACKAGE-Processor-Pre-Installed/dp/B00OGI75FU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Z8DMFRNP6MEYGCGYCK8

The second one is on pc world : http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/refurbished-pcs/hp-pavilion-500-260ea-refurbished-gaming-pc-21898267-pdt.html

The thrid one is also on pc world : http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/refurbished-pcs/advent-dt3415-refurbished-desktop-pc-21837758-pdt.html

I realise that for a top end gaming pc, it's around £1000, but I've seen a lot of budget ones out there.
If anyone has any recommendations please post them below and if there's anything that stands out in any of these computers please tell me.
Btw, it'd be better with a monitor, yet, it's not important as I have a decent one that I could use.

I would pick none. This would be the best I could've found for that price.

And if you build it yourself I can make you a even better PC for cheaper.

voyboyfan :

I like them both but an OS is around £70. If you know of a place for a cheap Windows 7/8 OS please tell me.

And what about this one? It's the same company on Amazon, seems to have similar specs (apart from GPU).

OK, the second one I listed is £430, can you stretch your budget up to £500? I think it would be worth it, because the GPU on that PC you listed is crap.
But if gaming is not very important to you I guess you can get that one.
It will definetly run Minecraft btw.

The second one posted by voyboyfan is a decent option. If you can't build it yourself, and are ok withe the pitfalls of a prebuilt, then it is a good option.

No, you must buy windows at full face value.

Jordan1920 · Nov 28, 2014

I couldn't stretch the limit any more than £470. Which of the computers would you recommend for my situation? Granted an OS must be included unless the computer is around £380...

tiny voices · Nov 28, 2014

What games must you be able to play besides minecraft?

voyboyfan · Nov 28, 2014

Ok, then this one would do the job for easy games.

tiny voices :

Fifa 15 + the occasional G-Mod. (anything above 30 fps would be satisfactory)

Would be fine, but don;t expect to be playing any AAA games at more than low settings at 1080p with it.

Jordan1920 · Nov 28, 2014

voyboyfan :

Average FPS is available please? And for minecraft, would this pc be good? http://www.amazon.co.uk/ADMI-GAMING-PACKAGE-Processor-Pre-Installed/dp/B00OGI75FU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Z8DMFRNP6MEYGCGYCK8

voyboyfan · Nov 28, 2014

Any PC is good for Minecraft, but I would recommend buying a Kaveri APU (eg. A10-7850K) since it has a better iGPU = higher FPS.

tiny voices · Nov 28, 2014

The one you linked will be about 20% worse in games. Minecraft and Gmod will be no problem. But if you wanted to play anything like BF4 it would definitely struggle.

Jordan1920 · Nov 28, 2014

Okay thanks! I was in a lost world, I think I'm going to go with the ADMI gaming pc as it comes with a monitor + OS and should have no problem for my needs

Thanks for all your help! And don't worry, I'm not into Battlefield 4, too complicated for me lol.

No problem, glad to help!
