Hey Guys,
New here and new to the PC gaming world but looking forward to learning as much as possible from all of you. Was curious if you all could help me out with a decision on my PC. I don't have alot of money to spend and $800 is my max. I've done some looking around at various places, both online and in my area (Cincinnati) and I've found 3 PCs that look pretty good but I was wanting some thoughts on which one to buy. Obviously, I want the best PC I can buy in that price range and the best graphics that I can get. I may eventually move into VR but not immediately, although I think all 3 of these PC are VR ready. I'll list the specs and the prices too. So, here we go......
1. Powerspec- G220
This is a local brand (I believe) from my local store of Micro Center and they use all name brand parts. Good thing about this is also the year warranty with local store. The specs are :
I5-6500 @ 3.5 GHz Quad core
MSI B150 PC Mate
500W PSU
16GB DDR4-2133 RAM
1TB HD
250GB SSD
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB video card
Windows 10
Price= $800
2. Asus G11CD-WS51
I've had a Asus laptop with no issues but I know this is not comparable. Heard some good things about Asus. This was the floor model they had out at Micro Center.
Intel I5- 6400 @ 2.7 GHz Quad Core
500 W PSU
8 GB RAM
1 TB HD
GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Windows 10
Price= $630 but I will but a 250 SSD in it immediately, so the actual price will be $680
3. CyberPowerPC Gamer Ultra- GUA4500
This was the 1st PC that I found that I liked but I know nothing about CyberPowerPC.
AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz
16 GB DDR3
1 TB HD
120GB SSD
24X DVD & RW
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Mouse and Keyboard included
Price $820
So, those are the ones that I have found thus far. I would appreciate anyone's opinion. You guys know a helluva lot more about this than I do. I am learning g but it's going to take awhile. Let me know which one you would go with in this situation. Money is a definite thought and just how much better are the others compared to the Asus? Why?
Thanks is advance and hope to learn alot from you guys!
