TheSamurai Hobo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 700$ max, here is what I like so far #1 #2 I'm leaning to #1, and just so you know, I don't care for maxing out settings on games I'm still learning about hardware so I am not ready to build Thoughts?

freak2121 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 #1 is not for games like GTA IV, Scarface, Sim City 4(You get the point it's horrible) You can definantly play GTA IV on #2 Although that GPU isn't very good(Half as powerful as console GPUs) it's still by miles better than #1.

I'm more of a console person for sandboxes, games like CoD4 on PC I'm a little nervous on #2's PSU though Edited August 12, 2008 by TheSamurai Hobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picolini Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Lol, PC 2 has a processor that's a SH*T load better than the first. However, it's graphics card is quite a bit worse than the first PC which has an 8600GT, although that's not even amazing these days but I'm sure you'd be happy with since you're not looking to max out games. I've got one and it works just fine for me and my brother. They don't say how strong the power supply is in the Cyberpower PC, but my guess is it's 500W, so chances are you can upgrade later on if need be. Don't take my word on that though, contact Newegg to find out 100% if you plan on upgrading graphics. Another good thing about PC 2 is you'd be getting it through Newegg, and they're great! tl;dr: PC 2. With out a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketkiller Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Those prices are horrible, you could get a much faster computer for less if you look around. Try local computer shops or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picolini Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think horrible is a little much. You'd be hard pressed to find anything with a real, decent, graphics card in the sub-$700 price range. There is, however this PC I've been talking about http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1204331848110 It does have a 350W PSU which can power an 8600GT, but sadly 50W short of a 9600GT. Like I said, the 8600GT is good for moderate gaming at decent settings. Won't max all games out, but older ones (like SA) no problem. And 8600GT's can be had for ~$70 nowadays. Also, no power connector, so no need to worry if the PSU has any free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
