I have to admit, I'm kind of an analphabet when it comes to technicalities, specs and hardware. I know more expensive usually means better but I have no clue about price-value comparison. I can barely read benchmarks.
This lack of knowledge is pretty crippling when it comes to buying a new gaming desktop. I've been searching for a while now but I never seem to find an affordable, durable gaming desktop that meets my criteria. I'm looking for a PC that will run new-gen games for the next couple of years. Preferably at "very high" first and then on average later (after a year -- maybe two?).
My budget isn't really all that high I'm afraid. It hovers between €700-1000 euros (including the "tower", the screen, the speakers and a keyboard). Maybe I could go to €1200 but only if it really makes a difference.
I've done some digging around and I found this site and although the PCs there look more like transformers than desktops they do have decent specs. I was thinking about getting the Shadowfury-V4 but I have no idea if that PC will run the games I'm talking about (the most important question for me is: will the computer run Dragon Age III: Inquisition on max. settings or not?). And aren't those PCs heavily overpriced? Will I pay too much because it comes in a dazzling case with lights and whatnot (because I couldn't care less about those).
Also the site mentions "overclocking" what is that? I've also considered building my own PC but as I'm not quite tech savvy, I'd like to know how hard that is. And where I should buy the parts (where aren't they overpriced?). Or will someone with a big heart help me pick out the parts? Any help would be appreciated. If this wasn't the internet,I'd offer you a cold beer for the trouble...
Please help me out. My old PC is more than ready to retire after four years of faithful service and I'd like to play my games without the constant crashes.
