(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm looking to purchase a gaming PC, For hopefully a reasonable price below £500.
I have little knowledge in Gaming PC's so I need some advice from you guys.
I want a Gaming PC that will run Battlefield 3, Call Of Duty Modernwarfare 3, Saints Row 3 and GTA IV all smoothly.
So please let me know if these PC's meet the system requirements to play these games and what are the system requirements to play these games, GFX, CPU and RAM... etc.
Anyone who has found any Gaming PC's on websites for reasonable prices please post the link.
I'm from the UK so only trusted UK sites Please, Thanks.

Alright, after doing some research (because I'm in America), £500 is about 800 USD. From my experience (sadly, though, Newegg doesn't ship to the UK Sad Awesome) you could very easily find a very nice gaming PC for £500.

I'm almost positive you could even get one with an Intel i5 2500K and a nice graphics card as well. Just let me look around a bit.

I beg of you, stay away from Alienware. Alienware is a subsidiary of Dell, and Dell is on the shit tier when it comes to a value to quality ratio. (Well, when it comes to Alienware at least.)

I'm checking around this site: You must login or register to view this content.

According to most people, it's almost the same as Newegg for us Americans. xD

It sucks that your budget is £500, though. Sad Awesome There's a wonderful one for £600, excluding the OS, however. That brings it to almost £700. Dx

If you knew about computers, I'd encourage you to go completely custom. Or if you at least know how to build one, I'd be more than happy to pick the components for you.

Thank you Cool Man (aka Tustin) , I really appreciate the help because I have little knowledge in Gaming PC's.
What Processor, RAM and Graphics Card do you recommend?
I was thinking 4GB RAM and 3.2 GHz, Do you think that will be enough for the games I listed above to run smoothly?

RAM sounds fine, but I'd consider upgrading to around 8GB in the future, and the processor depends; is it a quad-core?

Nevermind: I'm looking at both now. You don't have to answer that.

The "shinobee" has a much better processor and all-around build, especially since it's cheaper than the PCWorld one. I'd go with the "shinobee", to be honest.

Could you afford this? (It's almost 700 if you want the OS, too.) You must login or register to view this content.

That was a good find but I was hoping it would all add up to 700 including the monitor.

One last question; what is the absolute most you are willing to spend on this computer?

EDIT: Oh, alright, read your previous post. xP Understood.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

I think I've done it! The only problem is it's not pre-built, so you'd have to put it together yourself. But believe me, it saves a lot of money in comparison with sites like iBuyPower and stuff. They tack on a hundred (or more) dollars (which is probably more in £) for shipping and assembly. .__.

Do you have any friends that are decent with building computers? :/ And to be perfectly honest, as long as you follow instructions, it isn't difficult at all, really.
