abnerdog Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I will be recieving a large settlement from workmans comp in the near future and would like to purchase a new computer. Is there a good one for gameing on the market or should I have one built? I play COD4 most of the time. Any help you can give me would be great.

*Evil*Stevedawg Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 building it yourself will generally be cheaper for the same set up. That being said if you cant/dont want to build it purchasing it is always an option some common gaming rig suppliers are: dell/alienware cyberpower pc falcon northwest along with many others. Personally, if you have the time/knowledge its hard to beat building a pc by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireRanger/Ortiran Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 you should prolly build it yourself... thats what i did... it would be way better than most (excluding ones u spend like 5 grand on) gaming rigs u can purchase But if u really want to buy it then Alienware is good because they're warranties are exceptionally good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionKnight Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Either choice is fine. As long as it suits your needs and gets the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireRanger/Ortiran Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 try to get a quad core i7 for processor cuz with multi-threading theyre really good for gaming... u get 8 virtual cores... or u can get AMD Phenom II Black... its gonna be cheaper than the i7 and u wont notice the difference in performance for all the games right now... i personally use an AMD Phenom II 955 Black... gives u unlocked multipliers... u can overclock and stuff if u want... with an ATI 5870 2gb... i can max out any game so if u make something of that sort, u shud be good for like the games for this year and a couple more years easily and programming or whatever else u do on ur computer since ur posting it in a gaming forum so i said games xD u shud really try to get a good video card... even a normal old quad core with a good video card will perform better than say an i5 or i7 with integrated graphics card... and if u get it from Alienware its way more customizable... basically u can put whatever u want in ur computer lol... or get it from ibuypower.com that is good place too... or if ur making it urself try tigerdirect.com hope this helps... feel free to ask for recommendations on diff components or assembling queries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanaraud Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 What I´ve done. Figured out what for Im using my PC mostly- narrowed down the games I want to play the most. Searched components which give most FPS for those games. For every application and different games\engines one mid range CPU\Graphics could beat 2 times more expensive respective component. Just the way I´ve gone and Im pretty happy with performance, only heat production is pretty high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
