Looking to buy gaming computer; advice?

by Fluffman4 - 6/13/12 11:41 AM

Currently I'm looking around with the intent to buy a desktop. For gaming, I mainly play runescape which is internet based. Additionally, I basically just surf the internet, and it would be nice as well to have something that plays videos/movies well. I'm looking to spend something around the $900 price range. I've been looking around and have found some nice desktops at first glance, but looking into brands like iBuyPower has given me a rather bleak picture. What brands of computer that you've come across would suit what I'm looking to do AND have decent customer support (and their desktops come correctly assembled)?

Thanks

Some custom configurations

For runescape, i think this $750 Gaming PC Build is a perfect choice. But if you ever need a little more power and the budget allows, go for a $800 / $900 Pure Gaming PC Build

By the look of it, i don't think you like to assemble the system yourself but I guarantee the process will be quite easier than it sounds and you will learn a lot too happy

Thank you for your reply. To be honest, I've never built my own computer before, though I have some friends who have. After doing some research, I think I'm going to try to build my own. It's something that I'd actually like to learn, and seems to be of reasonable ease.

It's great to hear ^^ the assembly shouldn't take more than 2 hours and may additional 1 or 2 to tune up the configuration. There might be some issue on first boot but everyone who builds custom pc would have that once in awhile, just stay calm and eventually you'll have a pc that is truly yours grin
