Q: I'm debating on these computers: 1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227080 2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229050 3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107704 4. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107499 5. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229035 Their primary use will be for internet usage, and gaming. I want to be able to play any game that's out there currently, without any problems. My budget is around $1000...ish... I can always wait for another paycheck to roll around. If you can suggest any other computers that would do just as well, that would be wonderful, especially if they're cheaper. More $$$ = more games. ;] Try not to let any suggestions go over $1300, please. Thanks for your help ahead of time, it's greatly appreciated.
A: OK, of those systems... #2 is the best. However as the previous poster mentioned you can probably do better by building from scratch, or ordering directly from Cyber Power PC and customizing. Two things you should keep in for gaming computers: 1) A fast dual-core CPU like a 3Ghz E8400 is better than a 2.4Ghz quad-core Q6600. 2) The CPU is much less important than your graphics card. The graphics card is where to spend extra $$$ to boost your gaming performance. A system with a $500 processor and a $200 graphics card gets beaten badly by a system with a $200 processor and $500 graphics card. No matter how much CPU power you've got, framerates are limited by how fast your video card pumps out pixels. And the difference between cards in the $100 and $300 price ranges is huge. Here are some more options... On the ibuypower system you could replace the 9600GT card (sell it) with a Radeon 4870. Or get either Cyber Power unit.
