Hi there, sorry all for a thread that I'm sure has been posted before. The reason I create a new one is that, it seems that the answer really stems from the exact details of each case / the soft and hardware I have questions about.
So, already having a labtop that, especially being 5 years old, cannot handle new games as well as I'd like it to. So, since it still works fine for all non-gaming purposes, I'm going desktop hunting for a good gaming computer (Cheaper is better).
So questions:
-Ghz or core's? I found a 600 computer with AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8120 (FD8120FRGUBOX) Details in it that I believed was fantastic because of the 8 cores but then wondered if I should go lower cores and higher ghz because I don't really think I need 8 cores, do I?
-Should I even be looking at AMD processors, or should I focus on Intel ones? I would prefer an Intel, however this $600 Asus with the AMD processor seems like a great deal.
-Graphics cards: Nvidia, AMD Radeon, what should I even be looking for??
The exact computers I'm comparing (although if anyone has suggestions, FEEL FREE)
1. ASUS CM1831-US-3AA Desktop Computer CM1831-US-3AA B&H Photo
2. ASUS BP6375-I73770039B Desktop Computer BP6375-I73770039B B&H
3. HP ENVY h8-1520t Desktop PC | HP® Official Store
