Buget PC face off

[SavageRico]

hello im currently playing on a normal media laptop with a Intel 4000 card.... i have saved up to buy a desk top to go with my old 1920 monitor.

i have found four different pcs from cheapest to the most expensive,. ( Currently on low/ off and everything i can... only get 6-13 fps)

1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16883227537R 439

2.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883230051 489

3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883230052 499 ( confused why this one is better then then second)

4. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227614 599 (Way out of budget but comes with a SSD which im told will help FFXIV load times some as well)

Out of these four which will be able to play around 45 FPS if possible and is it worth adding a SSD for this game? Is NVIDA or AMD better? im very new to PC and the part differences so im hoping to get some incite from players with this knowledge!

NVIDIA and AMD are preferences. i have used both and prefer Nvidia for certain things but AMD has other things that Nvidia can't do and vice versa.

i would go with the build that comes with the SSD.

the 599 one. it is not much. you want a 2 gig minimum.

yes you have a better CPU but the GT 720 card will hold it back.

you might be able to grab 30 frames with the R7's. though the R7 250X is the better performance of it.

Man these builds are terrible first thing that popped up in google is way better option for a little bit more.

Way better performance out of this build for 16$ more.

You could always drop the SSD to lower the overall price - sure load times will suffer but youll still get good FPS/Quality ratio regardless.

[dementiondrive]

i would definitely go with that build over the other 4.

the original 4 are bad. i picked one out of the 4.

the list though is a build it yourself. so i can see why it might not be a go to in a way. unless you know someone who can.

i am on a SSD for the game and love it. when i load other games on the 2nd HDD i have. i see the suffering on load times.

wow sad to see all of them are bad... other pc build is more pricey and im not comfortable trying to assemble for the first time when the budget is already so tight. out of the ones i selected even though they are all bad will any get me over 40 fps

Putting together your own system is actually really simple. The case and mobo usually come with pretty in-depth instructions telling you where to mount the various components and make all of the various connections to.

Interesting.... So after securing the mother board everything else is simple to put in place?

I wouldn't call it "simple", it can be daunting if you don't have any clue what you are doing, but if you watch a video on the basics, anyone can do it.

Yet another thread? Can't stay indecisive forever ~.^

Sadly, "Budget" and "PC gaming" tend to be mutually exclusive.

Sorry, but I gotta disagree with this. Now if the OP wants a console just to avoid the hassle of fussing with computer specs, sure, more power to him.

Editing because I'm running up against the stupid daily post limit. Here's my thoughts:

Thank the stars your here! I found two more but sadly it seems all my choices suck.... Please any input on the new systems I added?

1. Solid gaming machine that sticks to the basics with no frills. Oh, someone going to complain it can't do good graphics? Hahahahahaha.
2. Same as above, but with a slightly worse video card in exchange for a slightly better CPU. This might be a good trade off for video editing or something but for gaming... #1 is better.
3. ...Video GPU is nvidia but has less memory and performs slightly worse than the R7 250 (but only very slightly).... I wouldn't bother with it
4. Same video capability as #1, but with a bigger hard drive and an SSD and a stronger CPU. So it gives you some room to grow. As discussed before, SSDs do give you better load times but any desktop hard drive will be faster than your old notebook. So, do you want loadtimes to be lightning fast? (I won't deny it; like a performance car, it's really nice... but it's also a luxury).
Honestly, you won't notice the CPU difference unless you edit videos, encode DVDs, run some really intense simulations (they kind they do in universities, not ones branded Microsoft or something)....that sort of thing

It is worth noting that, as others say, you do get the best bang for your buck building your own. However, the markup from those smaller names like the ones you link to is considerably less. So... if you want to go that route, it's really how comfortable you are with building a computer (go on youtube and search around, lots of guide videos).

The console route is also viable if you just don't want to deal with all this. xD (But you would need to buy FFXIV for the PS4 to move your account over)
