Which Desktop is Best for Gaming?

[mark5916]

 

So I could go with 1 then, and maybe one upgrade for roughly $40. I dunno which would be the best choice for the sole purpose of gaming so should I go with;

 

A: Power supply - 600w/750w

B: Processor up to i5 6500 3.2Ghz

C: Cooler

D: the step up 16gb ram

E: Hard drive (even this doesn't count, might step this up to 1tb anyway)

 

Or would only upgrading one of these overheat/overwork something?

 

 

If we talking about this: http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/morpheus-i5-custom-gaming-pc-p-167.html

 

A: The power supply is more that enough fot that system.

B: The difference over the i5-6400 would be negligible

C: If you don't have the intention to overclock, the stock cooler will be enough for that processor.

D: Even if it's not necessary, you could add another 8GB, but no more...(there is no need for more even for the latest games around)

E: The HDD wouldn't bring you any performance gain, however if you feel the need for more space go with an larger one, or even better invest on a SSD in the future.

 

Tip: A larger HDD would be a good idea, also some extra fans would not harm either.

Also, IMHO i wouldn't go with the Alienware for three reasons.

• Overtime that computer will get quite hot, as the case is a small factor case.
• The lowest possible model, IS NOT A GAMING MACHINE.
• Alienwares are too overpriced for what they offer...

Cool thanks dudes you've been a massive help, and hanging on the thread like that too I really appreciate it. I think I will go for the HDD and maybe even fans too.

 

It all seems straight forward, wish me luck hopefully I can be done with this thread now and get it ordered. :)

If you have some questions feel free to ask... :wink:

Ugh well that could have gone smoother...

 

So today I tried doing the finance procedure through ukgamingcomputers.co.uk for the chosen desktop which led to an online credit check which failed, but then I learned some details were wrong so apparently had to wait 60 days to try again...no thanks!

 

So went and got a similar one from Chillblast.com which went though, but was weird because it was said it failed on the site yet got a confirmation email and the deposit has gone from my account so i've contacted them about this, see what they have to say.

 

Anyway after all this I just now got a supposed email from paypal telling me some company Dessy Invest Ltd. sent me 700 euros which my actual account doesn't reflect so I forward the email to Action Fraud.

 

Now i'm really confused because is the culprit ukgamingcomputers - who use pay4later as their finance provider, or chillblast - who use Sage Pay? I NEVER get phishing emails in my main inbox, I get crap in my junk inbox now again but this rings alarm bells seeing as it happened moments after this transaction.

 

I tried googling the possibly guilty party but can't find nothing, and no idea how anyone could steal my info when these sites are supposedly secure and I have my home security all green :unsure:

Just thought id throw this out there but is building youre own system out of the question? I just built mine recently and its shockingly easy.

I don't trust myself, I know it looks easy but I didn't do IT or anything like that growing up (I did fine art mostly) so when it comes to hardware knowledge I might as well be learning a new language (again, did german growing up, forgot most of it) so I would likely choose conflicting components or wrong ones, or mess it up one way or another. Whenever I try household DIY something always ends up wonky, so doing the same with a computer would probably result in a very expensive fireball :P

 

Anyway I will leave it to see if something gets delivered, it's most likely a site bug (I hope).
