_paralyzed_ Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 My son had some $1,200 gaming laptop that got stolen. (no idea what it was)He wants a gaming rig, and has decided a desktop unit would be cheaper/better for getting something again. He has a good tablet for his laptop/school needs.He's not going to over clock or spec chase or anything like that, just play games. That said, he plays most of the modern games. Anything by Bethesda like Skyrim. I think he wants the new Fallout 4. (Is that new? Is that what the kids are playing these days?) He doesn't need the best of the best, just something he can game on. The cheaper the better.He'll probably just use whatever tv he is nearby for a monitor.Are there any tower/keyboard/mouse combos out there that fit my criteria? How much am I looking at spending? Links are appreciated. Thanks for any advice. I am computer stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortezDTV Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 That's what I was going to say Newegg.com. Build one if you want a badass one; buy a decent one of you don't want to build it.... Best prices and fastest shipping for any computer store SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortezDTV Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I just bought a desktop for a buddy for 350, 3.5ghz 1tb memory 8g ram For 1200 you can get a badass computer!!!! You get a little more bang for your buck when you build it! The real question to make was if you want to runs Intel chip and motherboard or amd I've always run Intel it's reliable solidly rated..... But if you look at some of the amd chipsets in newegg the ratings are out of this world , 5000 reviews at all 5 starts lol intel cards are lucky to get 4-5 starts lol Now each company makes good and bad ones so id pick something that's most reviewed on their site You could probably build a amazing computer for 1200 300- i7 processors 150 good motherboard 8-32 g ram 150-300 1 ssd --250-500gb boot drive 1 sata 1tb hard drive (stick with seagate, big name brands on hard drives) 100 case 100 power supply Video card 250 You can always look into the build your own supercombos you pick everything you want and still get a deal SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borris The Blade Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Oh this should be good. If there is one thing everyone knows everything about its gaming computers. Lmao That's why I never made a thread when I built mine lol. I vote build one since you can get the most out of your money. Newegg has some killer deals and combo prices, and like Cortez said, they have some nice pre-picked parts packages. It's like rubbing your wiener up against a sheep.
