so out of all of the ones i have listed, which is best for gaming in general, like mmorpgs, at home gaming or online games?

Answer 1

dont listen to the other guy..



before you stop reading, i suggest you read ALL OF this..



to get a customised pc doesn't mean you have to build it yourself at home.. I bought mine from ''pcspecialist.co.uk'' and I chose the parts I wanted, and they build it for me and send it to me.. Trust me customizing is the best way to go.. you get exactly what YOU want for what YOU need it for and for the BEST price..

For example they have a forum on that website, go there and ask them to suggest you a build with your budget and for what you need.. people will reply and help you choose them.. you can then go back to the website and choose the parts and see the price and everything..

trust me, don't miss on this opportunity to get better stuff for your money..

Answer 2

I can tell you to stay away from the Acer with the i7 and the 630 Nvidia card.



That's putting too much money into the CPU and too little into the GPU.



The 8120 is also avoidable, the Bulldozer just wasn't very good as a product line.



The Alienwares are horrible, overpriced and they offer junk.



The HP Envy has an entry level GPU. Same with the Dell.



They suck.



Pretty much the only good ones are the Cyberpowers.

Answer 3

I will let you do the analysis



Get as much RAM as you can 8 or 16 GB

Get the BEST graphics card you can

--And if you get an AMD processor - get an ATI Radeon card

both made by the same company - work hand in hand

get at least a quad processor if not larger (works on multiple levels)



all the best

Answer 4

personally I would go with the Alienware http://www.alienware.com or the Dell XPS. http://www.dell.com They are both owned by Dell & have great customer service support
