Forum :: Lounge :: Gaming PC for Under $800 ?

Not looking to build my own, I could but I have a specific time window when I need to purchase it, if I am going to. 

Basically looking for something factory made, brand new.

Also looking for it to run the majority of current games with little to no speed and frame rate problems.

And yes, I have looked around already, looking for more insight.

Do you want a laptop or desktop? Desktop you can get pretty cheap but laptop will cost over 1,000. lol

Desktop, sorry should have specified that.

XD

Yeah. This " Gaming-PC" Includes a very exclusive AMD Radeon HD 6670 , which is pure crap.  Have fun playing games on Low graphics with that PC.

I have ATI Radeon HD 4200, now that's crap. I cannot play Skyrim smoothly on low. It's literally cardboard!! 

Which PC do you suggest because I'm going to buy another PC and give my old one to someone else. Really have to be careful before buying another, before I chose my PC because it had 1.35 TB so I thought that would make it really good gaming performance, but I was wrong.

This good?: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-pavilion-p7-1549-desktop-computer-amd-quad-core-a10-5700-1tb-10gb-ram-windows-8-p7-1549/10238329.aspx?path=824d88cd28fef88eda3929712d2da615en02&SearchPageIndex=1

edit: Look at the link, scroll down, go into "Details and Specs", it looks pretty damn good, the comments are all positive. I think I would recommend that one.

I run the 6570 ati radeon hd and it runs new games just fine on high- ultra. Wow capped at 175fps (without verticle sync) skyrim ran at 60fps on high 50 on ultra. (with 20+ mods) diablo 3 runs perfectly (low end game on high graphics) and as I mentioned crysis 3 on high. These graphics cards have bad reviews but yet never had any troubles running anything on it. I can even do wii emulation perfectly.

The computer you posted looks a little too expensive compared to mine. Plus the one I posted has 5 stars, and less costy.

Have to agree with hitler, that is why I didn't say anything about the graphics card. I have an intel hd graphics 3000 on my laptop and I can run WoW and plenty of other games on high with consistent 40 fps or more, which is perfectly fine for my own standards.

And intel hd graphics 3000 is about as crappy as they come, not meant for gaming at all.

And legend, one you posted is out of stock.

Colby, just want it to be able to run current games with no issues, will not be used solely for that.

The hard drive doesn't matter of how fast your computer is, but it only means how much you can hold and the speed just matters how fast you can transfer files in your computer. I could look for a computer for you, but buying a Gaming pc is just a total waste of money. You can build a computer 10x as better for cheaper as the ones you can buy.

Then buy at the local store, or wait :D

Still the same price. Plus, I think if you buy it in stores, you get the computer earlier than having to wait for it to be transported to you. I bought my last one from a store instead of ordering online. 

@Colby yeah I just figured out last year. But damn the processor was pretty good, and it had 8 gigabytes of RAM which I think is very good.

Damn, so expensive.

Alienware has been crap ever since dell took it over. Not even going to go there.
