But maker preserve me....

I don't know where to begin?

Seems like there's a new Gpu coming out every week!

The most important thing, is that you get a case that lights up like a disco ball.

I saved up for a gaming PC and spent ages designing it a couple of years ago. I spent so long choosing all its components, because everything has a million options to make it a little bit better for just a little bit more money. I saved up all my overtime at work, pulled extra shifts and finally saved up enough.

I was just about to buy it when my GF got talked into getting a mortgage instead, so it went on my deposit. Still not sure wether I would have rather stayed renting and got the PC instead lol.

I would recommend custom building one rather than buying a pre- built, but definitely decide on your budget first or the price soon creeps up.

How much do you want to spend?

Misleading title - I thought this was going to be some sort of competition to win a gaming PC

Does anyone use gaming laptops? I have decent spec laptop but im slightly concerned about playing games on it

Why?

I play some less demanding games on my  laptop and heard that some people play ME3 on gaming laptops.With trackpad

Im not that familiar with PC gaming in terms of the hardware requirments. The last game I tried on my laptop was ME2 which caused the fans to become very loud and hot. So I was a little reluctant to play on it for too long

[TormDK]

Gaming laptops is very bit as debated with religious zeal as PC vs console. I'm firmly of the opinion that it's an abomination that should be PURGED WITH FIRE! However, Mobility seems to be the name of the game these days, so I am prehaps just an old relic of times past.

 

But putting our own "faith" behind, gaming laptops of today are catching up to their desktop counter parts at resolutions of 1920x1080 and below, simply because todays hardware eats that resolution for breakfast, burps, and asks for more.

 

Even low budget desktop PC's can play comfortably at that resolution. Laptop wise, even the Integrated Graphics chip Intel makes is becoming decent for low quality gaming at those 1320x720 or whatever resolutions that the 11-13" laptops typically use.

If you are looking for gaming laptop Asus G series,Toshiba Qosmio and Dell(Alienware) are good choices,imo.

Edit.
I didn’t mean you specifically,but if someone  wants a gaming laptop  for whatever reason instead of desktop.

My brother buys only laptops and doesn’t care at all about desktop.

Such a thing does not exist.

They apparently update these builds every once and a while for price.

 

reddit build a pc

 

You can start at the one linked and scoll down as the budget increases.

 

pcpartpicker.com is a relatively simple way to find good prices for the build on the internet, depending on where you live.

 

This assumes you are going for new parts.

 

For DAI the most affordable build would probably be something like an Athlon 860k + 8gbRam + R9 280 which would be somewhat similar to the linked build ("next gen crusher").  Fry's had a couple weekly deals on 860k's a few weeks back for something like $90 IIRC.

 

If you live next to a Microcenter you can also get a good motherboard and processor bundle deal if you are looking at one of the specific cpus they bundle (eg FX6300, 8320, i3 4370, i5 4690k, i7 4790k, etc)

I would disagree about the gaming laptops, even if I am a diehard Desktop gamer.

 

The 980M deliveres alot of GPU power despite being a mobile GPU. Obviously you can expect to pay for that power, but if cost is not a concern, but Mobility is, it is possible to get a satisfactory result.

Prehaps looking at all the very portable laptops with dedicated graphics and 3K resolution would enlighten.  Obviously not as good as a high end desktop, but try lugging one of those around..

[Drasca]

Tomshardware.com has monthly build competitions, so the builds are updated.

 

Building yourself though is not without challenges, but times are easier than ever with youtube walkthroughs of every step. Newegg has their own robust series on youtube on building your own PC to encourage their business of selling parts.

 

As for Gaming Laptops, it varies greatly what you can get, so YMMV a lot-- but again technology is great in that it improves and it just gets better year after year for portability, power and price.

[capn233]

I guess I would rather try to buy a lighter, "business" laptop for hauling around to do mundane tasks and build a gaming desktop instead of buying a gaming laptop.  But I don't travel all that much, and never felt the need to start up DAI at Starbucks.  Maybe I am also misinformed about the pricing of laptops with 9X0Ms, 880Ms, 780Ms or whathaveyou.

[smooth_operator]

I'll tell you EXACTLY what to do.  If you don't know much about building PCs and have no interest to learn, then I say buy a steam machine.  Get a steam machine that will dual boot for windows or steamOS. A good steam machine for a reasonable budget will cost between $600 - $900.  While browsing for your steam machine make sure it has at least 8GB ram and that your video card is at least a nvidia GTX 660.  If they do not list your GPU model number for your GTX then do not buy it.  Everything else should be perfect for you. 

 

 

If you do want to build your own PC or have a company like ALLPCZONE build one for you. These are the minimum specs you will need to be future proof for all steam games for the next 5 years at high performance.

 

Intel I5 processor  (overclock for better performance)

8GB ram

Nvidia GTX 660ti

1TB HDD

Windows7 64  (you will be able to upgrade to windows10 for free after)

[Kinom001]

Honestly, OP, I bought a decent mid-range gaming PC, an iBuypower, for around $750. It has room for upgrading while being capable of playing any game on the market for the next 3 or 4 years.

 

If you don't feel like building your own, or can't afford to purchase a premium machine, find a PC that sits in the middle of minimum and recommended specs.

[hellbiter88]

Must build your own. It's way easier than people think and the kind of customization you can do is unmatched. If you're completely in the dark about building PC desktops and have absolutely no idea what you're looking for, follow this guide: http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/

 

The first rig I ever built, I followed this site to the letter. It is legit. Second build I did, I used this as a rough guide. By the third rig, I didn't even need the site anymore, but was still useful for rough ideas.

[Striken7]

Building is definitely the way to go. I built my current main PC back in 2008 for about $1650 and it held up very well for over 5 years. I put in a new GPU less than 2 years ago and put the old one in a "budget" PC I was building. I doubled the RAM last summer, and tomorrow I will be installing a new Motherboard, CPU, and SSD - the old HD went and died on me last week after nearly 7 years.

 

Looking around online you'll find a lot of info saying most people replace their PC's about every 4 years. By that standard I should be getting near the time to buy/build my third gaming PC at something like $1500 a pop for similar performance to what I'm looking for. Instead I've got what is very nearly a brand new high-end machine ready to go for many more years, saving literally thousands of dollars in the long run.
