Yeah, I like that computer. But I have a question, what is the difference between Intel Core i3, i5, and i7?

In desktops, it has more tiers.

Lowest tier, you have Celeron. These aren't made much anymore, and are generally single-cored CPUs. Don't underestimate them, though, as they do do alright.

Second tier, there's the Pentiums. The Pentiums in desktop PCs are stout little dual-cores, and are very good for their highly competitive price.

Third-tier, and one mostly overlooked because they're the midpoint between upgrading later and splurging now, are the i3s - they have 2 solid cores, but utilize hyperthreading to give them 2 more simulated cores.

Fourth tier, and generally the best for gaming in desktops nowadays, are the i5s. These CPUs are 4 solid cores, and perform well in all day-to-day activities and games.

Fifth tier, mostly unnecessary right now but probably necessary in the future, are the i7s. These bad boys have 4 solid cores, and utilize hyperthreading to give them 4 more simulated cores, for a total of 8 cores.

Sixth and final tier, you have the most enthusiast CPUs, the i7-X's. They are regarded as being enthusiast for their "extreme" prefix. They often have more than 4 real cores (I think the largest number currently is 6) and also have hyperthreading, which gives them a whopping 12 cores.

You also have Xeons, which can range from anywhere from 4 to 12 solid cores and have hyperthreading, but they're server CPUs generally so I won't go into detail there.

Anyways, hopefully that helped. Good luck on your search!

For $850, that's not a bad computer.

Yeah, it's not bad for a pre-built.

He needed help looking for Pre-Built pc's and i posted a list to pre-built pc's . There was no need for you to reply as i was trying to help HIM i even told him to pm if he needed anything. No need to be a -snip- about it

First of all why does it matter to you ? Im pretty sure the OP can make decisions for himself and choose what PC he wants himself

Hello
http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=85 ... a2_refTest

Theres a list of Pre-built computers for you. If you have any questions feel free to PM

All you did was literally search "gaming computer"?

but what other have posted (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6883258065 i think) is your best bet.

Um no? You go into the desktops category and theres a sub-catagory just for gaming computers smh

What's the difference? Searching for "gaming computers" or clicking the link for "gaming computers"? Post a PC, not a list of PC's.

AzieStop. OP already said that they do not want to build their PC, so please stop posting off topic replies and arguing about how OP should or shouldn't buy pre-built. Any more off topic or flamey/argumentative replies will result in this thread being locked and warnings/bans being issued.

ZerannyStop telling people who are trying to help the OP to not help, you're simply make the situation worse. The OP can decide what help he or she wishes to accept, encouraging him or her to self build or get someone else to build it is not forcing them to do so.

Give what help you feel necessary and any further cases of, "OP didn't ask for this kind of help" will receive forum warnings.

Also, moved to Gaming and Technology.

I am so confused. Do I warn people who tell others to stop suggesting self-builds or do I warn people who suggest self-builds?

Just try to keep the thread flame-free and you're done.

Suggesting is fine. Telling OP "x idea is dumb. Do what i think is best" and people arguing with others in the thread about which is better is not. I think the point of both our replies was just to keep this thread on topic and flame free.

Half of these are terrible, I'd go with what Randomness or WTFshady suggested, by far the better pre-builds in this thread.

Build It Yourself: The cheapest way to get the best build for your money, buy parts from online, stick them together like Lego and you'll have your perfect PC in no time. You'll be happy, more satisfied and it will be more ideal to spend your saved up money elsewhere like an SSD or better peripherals. It can be quite a hassle and a hair scratching moment, but the outcome is rewarding.

Pre-Built (Custom): If you're in between, and you %100 know you are never going to build it yourself for whatever reason, this is the best option for you. You'll be paying atleast $100+ more for this than building it yourself since the standard companies like Gladiator, Cyberpower, or a custom retailer need their profits too.

Manufactured: This option is highly UNrecommended, you're paying the money because of the logo/company, not its components (mainly). Companies like HP, Dell (Alienware), Toshiba and others charge you too much for what could be more affordable when building it yourself or prebuilt.

benjimaestroWell, im 14 and i made a funcional, built PC for £90 that will run any game thrown at it... do you see the advantages now?

I think you mean £900, don't you? If you don't, well, you are 1. lying 2. you found great deals + got free parts.

Would you rather a better proccesser or a better graphics card or a bit of both?
and how much ram do you want?

This hurt me emotionally and physically

EDIT: You could also get a AlienWare, but I highly recommend to NEVER get a AlienWare, unless you want to or need to

Lets compare this prebuilt that was suggested(which if you must get a prebuilt go with this) with building it yourself.
Prebuilt: 850$
Building it yourself: ~735$

Though I would spend more to get a slightly better build.

If you are willing to pay someone 120$ to put together a computer for you using some lower quality parts than that's your choice. Or you can build it yourself in a few hours and use parts that you know are high quality.

Stop telling people who are trying to help the OP to not help, you're simply make the situation worse. The OP can decide what help he or she wishes to accept, encouraging him or her to self build or get someone else to build it is not forcing them to do so.

If he wants a prebuilt computer, then just suggest one to him. I know custom builds are most of the time cheaper for the same quality but not everybody wants to build their own computer, some would just want something that works out of the box. Not everybody is tech savvy.

I think we need a mod to close this forum now.

why dont you just -snip- build it yourself

Let's take computeruniverse.net, they are by far more trusted than cyberpower.

They sell cheap components, only in Europe though it was just an example.

For prebuilts i would just recommend something like a toshiba, or a HP.

Couldn't you just take a trip to the store? If not, here are some good computers for $1,000 or less.

runesmite14WTFShady

It's WTFshady But seriously, nice explanation and advice.

I have to agree with happened here. You all do great work with building computers, and when advice is wanted, I've seen many people get steered in the right direction.

However, what I just witnessed here is someone asking you multiple times to stop, and blatantly saying they wanted to buy one; is it seriously that hard to respect someones decision?

Anyway, I digress.

This pre-built that WTFShady posted is what I would suggest for you. Where it has a lower end graphics card, you will find that you can easily swap that out later. I guessed what I thought ibuypower would charge for it and then clicked on the link, I was pleasantly surprised, as it was cheaper then I anticipated.

From what I've seen, they're also fairly trustworthy, you MAY want to look on what you find on Cyberpower, however. From what I've seen you may have a bit more flexibility and they seem to be cheaper.

Regardless of your choice, have fun with your new computer!

[deleted]

Since you said you will buy a custom PC. I think if you buy all the parts from NCIX you can have NCIX build it for you. So you get it as cheap as you building it but without having to build it. I might be wrong on this but it is worth checking out.

If he wants a pre-built, let him get it. It's his decision not ours. IMO building a PC is better but it's his choice really. Anyway, can you give us some requirements (what games do you want it to play, budget, what you'll use it for, some basic specs, overclockable or not etc).

*EDIT*: I found some good PCs that you might be interested in:

Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3.2GHz, 1TB SATA III 7200RPM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB, Intel H81 chipset motherboard, 8GB RAM DDR3, Windows 8.1

Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5 GHz, 1 TB SATA III + 120 GB SSD, AMD Radeon R7 260X 2 GB, Intel Z97 chipset motherboard, 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz, Windows 8.1

The first isn't overclockable, the second is. The first doesn't have a SSD, the second does. The second is more upgradeable, because if you want to upgrade to Broadwell with the first one, you need to change the motherboard. The first has NVIDIA GPU, the second has AMD GPU (which I'm fan of). The first uses less power because NVIDIA GPUs use less. Both have the newest (and best) version of Windows. It's your choice, but it I were you, I would've gone for the second. If you however, change your mind and decide to build a PC (which I highly recommend), you can go with this build. Not overclockable, but will last you 6 or even 7 years.

You may wanna ask this to other websites, not PlanetMinecraft. No, just no. Of course people around here will demand you to build one.

Roughly what specs?
How much ram?
How big of an hdd?
Do you want a graphics card?
Do you want it to be an all in one?

I seriously don't think butterblender cares that everyone else thinks he should build it himself.

It's his computer therefore he decides what he wants, and all of you "helpful people" are going to tell him where to get a PREBUILT pc and not try to bully him into building it himself.

I built my computer but I seriously don't care what he gets, ITS HIS DECISION.

And if I happen to know any good brands I will post them here as that is what this thread is intended for.

Get a macbook

My Computer came in at around 1,000 USD custom built, and on CyberPower PC with all the same accessories it went for 1853 USD!


Not saying you shouldn't buy pre built but not saying that you should.

There's always the option of buying the parts yourself, saving some cash thus way, and then spending that extra cash you saved on paying someone to assemble it for you. You won't have to do any assembling, you might end up paying less or around the same, and you'll get a lot more performance that way. I'd think "custom prebuilt" would be the middle ground here.

-snip-

Granted you could build a pretty good rig for that price compared to pre-built with anything you want. But also what do you want? What OS do you want? What do you plan to do on it (besides Minecraft). Let us know what we are building for.
