insideman40 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Prebuilt. I do not have much knowledge when it comes to building computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mista J Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Prebuilt? I don't think you'll get squat for 600 tbh. You'll probably get a low end card like 610 and a dual core processor. If you're nervous about building a computer there's a guide stickied on top or you can go on YouTube, Newegg has a video guide if I'm not mistaken. Don't forget an anti static wristband since this will probably be your first build if you decide to build it. But if you're set on a prebuilt for $600, try eBay. They usually have dirt cheap prebuilt ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideman40 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Which of these will run GTA IV best http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-G7-2251DX-17-Ga...=item3cd05fdc6b http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-G780-17-3-g...=item417311d0c0 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ASUS-X75A-XH51...=item1c326f87fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mista J Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 They all have integrated video cards. Though the AMD Processor has a better video card, but the i5 has a faster clock speed. Just go with HP G7 since it has a better video card. You'll probably still have to play GTA on low though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideman40 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Is there a big difference between the hp and lenovo or not much of a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Lenovo has a way better CPU, and HP has a way better GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoumaker Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Lenovo has a way better CPU, and HP has a way better GPU. And the problem is GTA IV demand's a good CPU and GPU. Don't even bother expecting to run GTA IV with an Intel GPU. If I had to pick one it would have to be the HP laptop. But I would personally increase my budget in general because you wont be happy wit the performance. It would have been better if the screen was a lower res like 1366X768 but this is not the case.

insideman40 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I could increase my budget by about 100 so what could i get for 600 U.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoumaker Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I honestly feel you should learn how to custom build your own desktop as buying a pre-built system is just a rip-off. Since you're from the US it shouldn't be that hard for you to be honest. I would personally have a look at Ryan's tutorial on how to make a custom made PC over here. You do know yojo2 has done the hard part for you right? Because that's the best you can do with $600. So I suggest you order those components and then have a read at the 'Building' your PC section in the tutorial I linked to you in this post.

It's really just a few basic parts for you to assemble and you'll be saving yourself a TON of money. Not only would you be getting a hell of a better deal but you'll gain valuable experience from putting it together yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideman40 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I know it is the best deal,but i am looking for something pre-built. maybe in the future i will build my own. So how well will that laptop run GTA IV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I know it is the best deal,but i am looking for something pre-built. maybe in the future i will build my own. So how well will that laptop run GTA IV? It would run it, probably. Low-Medium settings at the most. The harddrive is a slow 5400 RPM one, as it often is in laptops, though. That'll also set you back. Considering what you could get with the same money, if you built it yourself, or had a family member do it for you/help you, I would feel quite displeased having to play IV on a laggy laptop.

OysterBarron Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 If you do go down the root of building a pc don't forget to add on the price of the operating system. That in itself can cost upto £100 everyone seems to forget that part when quting specs for a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 True, but in all fairness most people have a working operating system disk kicking around somewhere.
