Yup, all you really need is Microcenter and a friend with decent knowledge on how to build the system. It really is so much easier than it used to be. Research a little and save a lot.

Especially if you started going crazy with the cooling that you need in order to keep it together... I mean, if we're talking best of the best. You would go well over that, sir!

As someone who used to be a strictly console guy, I've turned more to the PC for a few reasons. I have my PC hooked HDMI to my HDTV now. Most games on PC have gamepad support. So it's exactly the same as playing on a PS3 or 360, only...the graphics are a ton better. Now I'm not a big graphics guy, but when I have a choice, why NOT go with the way better graphics? My PC basically IS a console now. And a console is a computer that pretty much only allows you to play games and do a few other things. The line between a PC and console grows thinner all the time.

Also, if it weren't for exclusive games to the Xbox, PS, and Nintendo...it would be rather stupid to purchase a console when you could spend a little bit more and get a PC, which you can upgrade as years go by, and of course it's a PC which allows you to do so much more than gaming. I'm thinkin about bypassing consoles altogether next gen and just build me a good PC.

That's true, but I have a relatively old PC with relatively old graphics card (in technology years I guess), but games still look incredible compared to consoles. Plus you know...I can do so many other things on my PC. I still own a PS3, 360, and Wii, but for most titles I'm trying to get them on PC. For instance, Arkham City, a great game on all consoles and systems, is just stunning on PC.

Did some looking to weekend at a dedicated gaming computer.
I was also able to get my hands on a throttle/yoke/pitch combo and switch panel for my flight sim. I took a picture of the specs of the computer. AMD A10 quad core 3.4Ghz MS 8 64 bit 8GB DDR3'-1600 RAM 2TB 7,200 RPM Serial ATA hard drive DVD etc AMD 4G video memory Wireless etc I cleaned up my laptop and re-installed MS Flight Sim. My laptop is a 2MB and like a 1.7GHZ. It runs the sim pretty well, though I can't get the level of scenery and detail I'd like. Otherwise it gets really iffy. Would a desktop like the one above run the sim a lot more smoothly? Allow me to run more detail etc?

I wouldn't put any AMD in a gaming rig when I could pick an intel processor. I am also willing to spend money for the performance I want.
Also, when you say amd 4gb graphics that doesn't tell us a lot. edit : a10 is an APU. Please dont. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i...-AMD-A10-5800K Last edited by hometeam; 03-09-2013 at 11:01 PM.. |
