I have been wanting a gaming computer that can handle games such as skyrim and minecraft at a reasonable fps. Also for around 500-650$. I found these two computers that fut my description but I can't figure out which is better. I'm open to other suggestions as well.
First one: http: //www.bestbuy.com/site/ideacentre-deskto…
Second one: http://www.bestbuy.com/...b=overview
The first computer is better
Don't buy computers from BestBuy, they seriously rip you off, and they never have good computers for gaming.
Instead of that second computer, I'd recommend something like this from NewEgg:
http://www.newegg.com/...6883229285
It looks and performs more like a gaming computer, and you get better specifications for $529;
Faster processor (3.8Ghz vs 3.5)
Same amount of RAM
Better video card (Actual card, newer with more memory, instead of the older, integrated video chip)
No bloatware from the manufacturer
For other gaming PCs, feel free to check out newegg. They are way more computer oriented than best buy.
Here is a related search for you:
It's tough to recommend a $600 PC for gaming, I recommend CPUs: A10 (3D is ok) or i3 (weaker 3D, better CPU), a free PCIex x 16 lot (avoid slim desktops).
In most $600 PCs games are probably playable in low or medium settings. You can later get a good graphics card (> $100), which will also require a better power supply.
When someone as a question about which computer is good? I always see a link to other website who sales computer. Why don't you type configrations so we can tell you. Honestly i'm thinking these websites are making a huge advertisement here.
