dangaranga Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I am looking for a relatively cheap desktop to play some games on, now it doesn't need to be a hardcore rig but i would like for it to be able to play most games on normal at least Some games include GTA IV and maybe V if they release it, Left 4 Dead, Medal of honor series, dead space, some crysis and such would this guy do the trick? http://www.frys.com/product/7344464?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG or maybe this rig? http://www.frys.com/product/7327164?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Brandon 2000 Furd Ranger supercab 4x4 System: welding wire throughout the truck USalts 390amp Hairpin Juicebox in stock location 8 Banks of maxwell supercaps 2 American Bass Vfl 1100.1 wired to .35 each 2 Fi Audio Sp4 18's ( the DD sc 9918's smoked) Pioneer radio with Soundstream PA mids Powered by a nice sized soundstream 2 channel It's pronounced (dain-ja rain-ja) 2001 2 door focus 1 DD9918 SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Both PCs seem to be lacking on graphics, which will be one of your key things wanted for some games like Crysis, and GTA 4 and 5 once its released. Decide a budget you want to spend on a computer, and build your own, you will get much more for your money in every aspect. They are very simple to put together yourself.

dangaranga Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I would say between 8-900, any recommendations on where to start, i can handle the assembly but as far as what to buy thats where i am not sure what i am looking at/for? Thanks oh, and my current laptop plays all these games decent but i don't like how hot it gets and would like to reduce the wear and tear on it. It has an i5 and some kind of radeon graphics card.

Only I wonder if the aftermarket heatsink is necessary since he will not be OC'ing? Stock cooler should do fine on that one I recommend the XFX Double D line too, have 2 Double D 6870's in crossfire. Eyefinity on 3-24"s.... These things make it look like cake, and run at decent temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostin302 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I installed a fx6300 on my wife's comp with the stock cooler. I was getting around high 40s to low 50s at idle and high 90s at full load. I reapplied the thermal paste several times to make sure. The stock heatsink on these 6300 just plan suck. Switched to the Evo 212 and idle is mid 20s with load in mid 40s My build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143943-2001-mustang-gt-system-rebuild-box-build-pics-updated-61512/ 2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 380HP 270 amp Mechman alt 2 12" Treo SSX custom built. 6.47 cu ft, tuned to 32Hz 2 hifonics Brutus 2400.1, strapped 1 optima yellow top 1 Kinetic HC1800 14.4v @ 29Hz, 2k RPM over 100ft 1/0 XS flex wire Big 3 in 1/0 100sq ft fatmat deadener 145.3 on music, 142.6 sealed on music Stop being a pussy and wall it off.
