Gaming Computer Advice
« on: May 19, 2017, 11:20:30 PM »
Hello all. I have been rocking a pretty average HP laptop for some time now, and it has gotten the job done with my gaming needs. But I now have a good and steady income and I am hoping to invest in a Gaming PC. Probably nothing to powerful, I am a college student still.


But anyways when it comes down to it I know nothing about what to look for. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Well, first of all you need to figure out a budget. There are a bunch of options to pick from so it's hard to say exactly which is better without first knowing how much you're planning to spend on it!

Are you planning to build or buy? If you want to build, you'll probably be able to get a bit more power out of the same budget, but you'll risk frying the parts without proper precaution.

Either way, I'd reccomend doing a lot of research. For example, Intel's 7th generation processors don't really have a speed advantage over 6th generation but cost a lot more (native 4k video streaming is the only difference that I really know of.). AMD has also supposedly put forward a much cheaper CPU that is actually comparable to Intels (but I haven't had a chance to check out avtual benchmarks.).

Buying is completely different and I'm not really sure what gaming rigs you can get, if any, for $750

If you do decide to build, then the LinusTechTips forums are a great place for information on parts, prices, and other just general computer things.
