Pc Gaming

[Trio91]

Any PC gamers out there? Currently I'm in the market for a pre-built, budget friendly gaming pc but would like some advice.

I've narrowed it down to 2 models which I'd like to get some input on. I could care less about asthestics, but more more on function. Keep in mind, I know I can get a higher end, better performing until but I'm looking to get a "starter" pc. I'm also in the process of getting a new tank so my priorities are swayed a bit.

[Ryzen & GTX 1050 Ti Edition] SkyTech Shadow Gaming Computer Desktop PC Ryzen 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, 8GB DDR4 2400, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, Wi-Fi USB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QDRBF9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_T91IDbF8HM7BA

And

HP Pavilion Gaming PC Desktop Computer, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, AMD Radeon RX 580, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, Windows 10 (690-0020, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHXV3TJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-b2IDbMGKKAJ9

Let me know, also you know of another budget friendly option that would be great. I would like to avoid building my own pc.

I'm huge into PC gaming.

I've built loads of computers for myself and friends.

I wouldn't recommend buying a pre built especially with having microcenter in Jersey.

If you'd like I can put together a PC parts list and even build it for you.

Let me know what your intentions are :

Games
And settings you'd like to play

+1 To what is said above, you build the computer around the performance you want. Different games have different requirements and they all can be run at different settings. So I play overwatch which is not really graphically intense so I can play it on a pretty high setting with really good frames per second (fps). There are other games that my laptop would not be able to handle at high setting and I would have to turn it down.

Oddly enough was thinking about this last night.
I'm running BF1, Overwatch, and am in a Guns Up league on PS4, but I haven't taken out my Star Citizen Cutlass on my PC as my current machine can't handle it.
Hallow, If that offer is open for parts assistance, I'll take you up on it as well.

see alot of this depends on the games programming aswell, games like battle field have top of the line programming done so a $500 pc can pull it on max settings i also build gaming rids myself also a major gamer lol

Fellas I may have an excellent chassis very upgradable I could let you have. (Whole machine is there but I’m sure you will want to upgrade). I am sure it’s out dated. But in its day it was a hell of a machine. It’s all milled aluminum and has more slots than most people use. But I don’t play anymore. Should get you by and able to upgrade as you go. If your interested let me know and I will get some specs and info to you when I get home. FYI. It does not have liquid cooling

@Sponge you should set this up for your grand kids.

this is the current rid i was thinking of buying for myself waiting till black friday or cyber monday deals and yes you will save money. bought mine about 5 years ago 1 month before cyber monday it was 1k after the deals came out to $640

now in days most games are extremely Ram & CPU dependent usually those two take the major hit before the graphics actually have to kick in specially the newer games and like i said before depending on the programming of the game will depend on your performance id run RUST at 40 FPS at lowest graphics and run BF1 at max graphics with 80 FPS all depends on the game but with this monster pc you should pull every game out on the market with zero issues

Kids don’t even look at PC’s. They are the I pad generation.

I will gladly help you.. computers were my main hobby for a long period of time. Later this evening I will look into those two PC's you provided and build a parts list I think it better suitable for your demand...

So you know a 1050ti would run any triple A games on a non potato graphics settings. For instance that will barely push BF1 on low settings. Use this site so you can see: UserBenchmark: Can I Run Battlefield 1 on a GTX 1050-Ti (BF1)

I would recommend something along the 70 series for decent gaming on medium to high settings.

Again I will put together a list later.

Give me what you'd like to truly spend.

what you playing now? wow classic? haha

 

[Trio91]

So the game I'm Into now is world of warhammer, if that info helps. I'm trying to limit my budget as I'm in the process of purchasing a new tank and stand.

So with that, I'd like to keep my costs as low as possible, so I can spend all my money on a tank. Now I know I get what I paid for but for me, this thing will be totally entry level

 

[Trio91]

So basically, I should scrap both pc options?

Any assistance is welcomed
