Buying a new computer

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]$1600 is a pretty sizable budget, if you bump it up a bit more though and ditch the laptop you can get ridiculous hardware. Why would you want a laptop in a few months if you are building a new gaming rig? My recommendation: Spend a bit more on the desktop if you have the money ($2000-2500), and get a netbook ($200-400) if you need a little laptop to do docs on the go. :O I'll be on league tomorrow, we can talk then :D (well technically today)[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]also, would you be willing to spend some time researching and build your own computer? You can save some money and get some wicked stuff if you do, plus it's really fun. Also are you sure the lag you experience isn't internet lag but computer fps lag?[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]You're gonna make him spend 2000$? That's overkill lol He can builds some pretty good machine that he's gonna be proud off for 1600$ if he looks for the deals and stuff, I'm telling you. 800$ you get a decent gaming computer 1200$ you get a good gaming computer 1600$ you get a great gaming computer 2000$ you just wanted to spend money (most people won't even see a difference but I guess if you take a SSD it will go up in those price anyway)[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]no, there is a huge difference in quality if you spend a bit more, he said he can spend w/e anyway lol no, $800 will get you hardly anything, if you want a decent computer for $800 you need to have peripherals already (monitor, mouse, mousepad, keyboard, etc.) which can add quite a few hundred. Asian, where do you live if I may non-stalkerishly ask? :D[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]As a gamer, he should have those already, if not shame on him[/quote]

[quote=The LZ][quote=Arkharan] As a gamer, he should have those already, if not shame on him [/quote] Na man, mini track pad ftw.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Well, when I built my desktop I came from a laptop so I needed a new monitor, got a nice mechanical keyboard, got myself a new bigger mouse, new mousepad, wrist rest, etc. It adds up. But yea, if you don't include peripherals even my computer was under 2k.[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]I have a laptop and yet, I have a nice mechanical keyboard, a nice mouse, a nice mousepad and a 42 inch screen :3[/quote]

[quote=Searz]SUP GAIS TIME TO LAY DOWN THE LAW. [b]CPU[/b]: i5 3570k (i7 is a waste of money unless you're video editing/3D modelling/streaming a lot) [b]Graphics card[/b]: GTX 670, GTX660(not out yet) or HD 7950. [b]Motherboard[/b]: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 [b]RAM[/b]: Corsair Vengeance LP 8 GB 1600MHz (or any other good brand). 8GB minimum. DO NOT GET ANY WITH HUGE HEATSINKS, they suck. [b]HDD[/b]: any 2TB disk should do it. Anything below 2TB will be lower value for your money. You could also skip this if you're good with 256GB space. [b]SSD[/b]: Samsung 256GB. Cuz freaking badass. (REMEMBER TO USE AHCI MODE) [b]Optical drive[/b]: Just get a USB drive. Internal optical drives aren't worth it unless you're using CDs/DVDs a lot. [b]Power supply[/b]: any 80+ gold (or better) PSU that seems good. It's a plus if it's modular, but those are more expensive. [b]Case[/b]: Fractal Design R4. I wish I had that case :3 Should be roughly 1300$ (quick estimation). You could add a good [b]CPU heatsink[/b] if you wanna overclock a little. Those go for roughly 60$. Good [b]mechanical keyboards[/b] go for roughly 80-150$. I'd recommend Qpad MK-50 and MK-85(one badass piece of hardware) simply because they come with good arm-supports (which is vital to me). Good [b]mice[/b] go for 35-75$. Logitech G400 is a very solid choice if you're unsure. It's real cheap and it's the best Palm Grip mouse I've tried (most people use Palm Grip).[/quote]
