With a little knowledge, it's easy and cheap to build a PC dedicated to gaming. You can actually construct piece by piece a top- end PC for games. However if you do so, it's not always obvious if you have correctly installed the different components. This can cost you a lot of extra money!
Without further questions, here are 10 prefabricated desktops I suggest to you to have for the best gaming experience.
1. Cyberpower Trinity 300
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K / Graphics : Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 / RAM: 16GB DDR4 / Storage: 250GB SSD + 2TB hard disk / Special features: quirky design, liquid cooled processor.
Externally it looks like an artifact that has escaped from Halo, Destiny or Killzone. But regardless of this funky look, this is internally a real beast, with a six - core processor, a high-end GeForce GTX 980 graphics' card, a valuable storage space and a welcoming 2TB HDD. And if 16GB of RAM memory are not enough for you, then you're greedy. If you pay a little more money, then they overclock it for you.
2. Alienware Area 51
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K / Graphics: AMD Radeon R370 / RAM: 8GB DDR4 / Storage: 2TB SSD / Special features: 3.8GHz overclock, 850W power supply, 802.11ac wireless network.
Dell has spent a lot of dollars in marketing to advertise Alienware. Specifically, it is a beautifully designed PC. You have easy access to the entire system, which will delight you. This model comes with a liquid-cooled processor and AMD graphics.
3. Acer Predator G3-605
Characteristics:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460T / Graphics : AMD Radeon R9 255 / RAM: 8GB DDR3 / Storage: 1TB SSD / Special features: Built-in speakers, card reader.
Everything in Acer G3 is middle class and much cheaper than the newest Acer G6 (with the new Intel's processor named Skylake). Without many words, this PC can run almost any modern game. This model is certainly not as pretty as the newest model G6 - but it is a ''value for money'' purchase.
4. Desktop Lenovo X510 Erazer Gaming
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K / Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 290 / RAM: 16GB / Storage: SSHD 2TB / Special features: 625W power supply.
Lenovo has tried to build a reputation on the quality of its PCs, such as the acquisition of the IBM ThinkPad brand and more. This is a high quality PC with a fast processor and high-end AMD graphics. Of course it is more expensive than the other computers on the list, but It gives you gaming experience at high fps.
5. MSI Nightblade Mini PC Gaming Phoenix
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k / Graphics: GeForce GTX in Nvidia 960 / RAM: 8GB / Storage: 2TB HDD / Special features: Micro - ATX case, red light.
It has a pleasant enough black metal design. Inside the tiny case there is an older i7 processor, which must keep up with the slower GTX 960 graphics card. RAM memory and 2TB HDD is standard - but you might want to add an SDD for the operating system.
6. HP Envy Phoenix
Characteristics:
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790k / Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 380 / RAM: 16GB / Storage: 128GB SSD + 2TB HDD / Special features: Bang & Olufsen audio, 802.11ac wireless network .
HP Envy Phoenix offers a good combination of core components. The Radeon GPU that has, can match with the most same cost GeForce cards, and the 16GB of RAM can run the games efficiently. The SSD is a little small but 2TB HDD offers more storage space.
7. Chillblast Fusion
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K / Graphics: GeForce GTX in Nvidia 980 / RAM: 16GB 3000MHz DDR4 / Storage: 512GB M.2 PCI-E + SSD 2TB SSHD / Special features: 4.6GHz overclock, Cooler Master Nepton, Cooler Master case, power supply 750W.
This PC focuses on the new Intel Skylake processor, which is connected to the motherboard Asus Z170 Motherboard Pro Gaming. Using water cooler Nepton, the Chillblast has overclocked the processor to 4.6GHz. Moreover, it comes with a 4GB GTX 980 graphics' card and a fast SSD with data transfer speed to 2GB / sec. All these are placed to Cooler Master case with a 750W power supply.
8. Scan 3XS Vengeance
Characteristics:
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K / Graphics: GeForce GTX in Nvidia 980 / RAM: 8GB DDR3 / Storeroom: 256GB PCI-E + SSD 2TB HDD / Special features: 4.6GHz overclock, Dark Rock 3 CPU cooler, Corsair Obsidian 450D, power supply 750W.
The processor i7 is overclocked, raising the performance of the core in order to match the top-end Nvidia 980 graphics' card. The rest of the kit includes a delightful mix SSD and HDD and a remarkable RAM DDR3.
9. Asus Republic of Gamers G20AJ
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K / Graphics: GeForce GTX in Nvidia 970 / RAM: 12GB DDR3 / Storage: 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD / Special features: wireless 802.11ac network, six - core CPU, customizable lighting effects.
If you 're looking for something for your living room, then the Republic of Gamers G20AJ is for you. Not so high-end, as some computers that are listed here, but certainly not one of the mid-range PCs.
Inside there is a six - core CPU, a desent RAM, a mid-range 970 GPU, and a fast built-in wireless network. It also has a customizable lighting effects, fact that I like a lot.
10. Overclockers Uk Τitan Riptide
Characteristics:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K / Graphics: GeForce GTX in Nvidia 970 / RAM: 16GB DDR4 / Storage: 120GB SSD + 2TB HDD / Special features: 4.6GHz overclock, six - core CPU, white lighting LED, Phanteks Enthoo case, power supply 650W.
Another computer with a fascinating name that does not fully reflect reality. The six - core CPU is not as strong as others, in terms of gaming experience. It would be better to have the GeForce GTX 980 instead of 970, given the proper speed of the processor and large RAM.
So these were my suggestions for the ultimate gaming experience. Enjoy your gaming!!
