Hello,
I've always been a hardcore PC gamer, but recently I've moved to the UAE and am now looking to buy a new Gaming PC or Gaming Laptop.
I bought an Xbox 360 (my first console ever) to play Borderlands 2, but it just doesn't match up to the FPS experience I get from a PC (only my opinion).
I'm gonna be here for at least 2 years and then move back to my home country, that's why I thought maybe a gaming laptop and someone told me that the gaming laptops these days closely match the gaming PC's and are not that much more expensive than they were a couple of years ago. Is this true? Or do the PC still outmatch the notebook in a "bang-for-buck" scenario (by some margin).
I'm looking for a "bang-for-buck" PC/Laptop. Money is not an issue, i just don't wanna waste it.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: None
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming -> Web Browsing -> Movies -> Spreadsheets -> Reading E-Mail
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: New PC
Do you need to buy OS: No
Location: Dubai, UAE
Parts Preferences: Intel, that's all.
Overclocking: I wouldn't count on it.
SLI or Crossfire: Only if "bang-for-buck"
Your Monitor Resolution: Which is recommended.
Additional Comments: None, so far.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Can't get use to FPS on Xbox 360.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I have a question, are the laptop components just as good as PC components. Example, GTX 680 for PC vs GTX 680 for Laptop??
