Hey guys, i'm looking to buy a nice gaming computer and i would like to get some advise from people who actually understand this stuff ;D
I've been told many times its cheaper to build your own pc but i simply dont have enough knowledge of computers to do that.

I was looking at this.
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Intel-i7-477...t=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item2c76c4b8df

could some people tell me if this computer would be worth buying?
or give me some pointers/tips for when looking to buy a computer/parts.
 
Are the specs for that price good on that computer?
Im looking to play games like dayz,h1z1 ect
 
All shopping computers sucks to play games.

Reason is because after a few years they cant be used for that anymore

Thats why if you wanna make a good pc that will last for years and will allow you to play a long time your favourites games you have to create it youself.

Buy all pieces, downlaod all drivers, install all the programs you want.

It will be cheaper, faster and better if you odnt know how to do it alone ask for a friend help etc
 
bad graphics.... but processor and ram are awesome

is the problem when you buy a PC prefabricated, that some part is bad.

I'm thinking of a custom build, would be nice to see some feedback.
or maybe some tips? if you know any part which may be better that these i have or something that i should add please tell me, much appreciated guys :)

Yeh true I've researched this video card above, People say its pretty good.
would like to hear what you think :l
 
Two words: custom build

It's worth spending a penny more or two on custom build rather than buying prebuild PC case.

5 year old can build a computer nowadays go with a custom build you know what you're putting into it yourself then, what price range are u in?
 
I suggest to check some forums like guru3d, hardwareinfo,etc... And if feel like do a post with how much you want to spend on the PC, and they will help you.
P.s: pre-made/pre-build PCs, usually sux, and after 1-2years got problems.
 
its suxcpu, to game u need i5 4690k u can overclock this procesor, if u buy i7 4790k in game u got only 2-3 fps more lol,
 
16gb ram? rly? 8 to game is max, only if u randering movies etc better buy i7+ 16gb ram, but only for game u don't need 16 gb ram and i7
 
so less ram, focus on CPU and video card. thanks
is the video card in the second link i posted good enough? what you guys think

p.s what do you guys think of the Nvidia geforce gtx960?

whats your budget? and what games do you want to play on it ?
 
budget of around 700~euro i wanna play like dayz,h1z1,arma.. ect
ive been looking and it seems these 2 are good to be able to run them games at 50~ fps

Nvidia geforce gtx960,
Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Processor 3.5GHz 5.0GT/s 6MB LGA 1150 CPU,

both are just over 400 euro which seems like a good price for how they perform
