Need help picking out a new computer

Hi guys, I just dropped in to get some advice, Im in the market for a new computer, I was looking for something affordable for a part time minimum wage income yet decent for a gaming computer, I dont want super top of the line, but I would like something that would kill my wallet or kill my FPS in game, any help? Links, suggestions, comments, just looking for some feedback.

 

Hm... Lemme think, but for now, anything but a Mac.

I've used from a few brands in the past and I can give you a very vague image from what to expect from each brand.\

These are just for laptops if you are looking for one.

HP/Compaq: a reasonably good price with decent specs however it's not THAT reliable and have a high failure rate
Acer: very low prices, but not the best quality, somewhat more orientated towards student use, though it has a large variety to pick from and the best ones are always in the higher end
Sony: a little pricey comparing it to others even the cheapest ones, however a lot of its laptops fall under the poewrhouse category
ASUS: quite decent, can be a little pricey and great designs
Samsung: hm... this one is a hard one, it is not one of the most well known names in computers in the western world, however the build and quality of the software is quite decent, I'm not sure about the pricing though
Dell: for its quite unreliable like HP and breaks down quite a lot, usually after 2-3 months of use, the hdd gets a problem
Toshiba: I haven't used these lappies a lot but they seemed quite sexy and and they don't crash a lot

And remember, do NOT buy an Apple laptop as they are pricey and a little heavy (not the MacBook Air one though, but its not towards gaming).

 

if u gonna make a desktop i would sugest phenomx6 1090t (1100t if u want a little bit better)
12gb ram
ati radeon 6870
a thelmake 700w real W will amke the job
u can find cheap motherboards im a fan of asus or ecs ones

 

Yeah how about that.

To be honest, I've never really bought or used a desktop PC.

Isn't 12 GB's of RAM too much? I mean it could be pricey for his wallet, I'm running on 8 GB's of RAM and its fine.

 

go for amd base computers. intel based computer are expensive. with amd you can get a pc around 400$

 

This was what I found, Asus - Laptop / AMD Turion™ II Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive - Mood Indigo - K52DR-BIN6, This is the price range I was looking for.

 

Hm well, 4GB isn't going to give you the best graphics, if you really want to go with it make sure its upgradable to 8GB ram.

What exactly is your price range? Under 1000 US$

 

lol? wasup with the 4GB not giving best graphics? FYI , GPU (Graphics card) is the one that give u graphics not the RAM,
even u got 1000000000 RAM , and your video card is crap u cant play good.

my specs is only 4GB ram with GT 430 (only my ping hurts ) , i can play aion with high graphics, but ofcourse laggy on many ppol and zergs.

 

Maybe I said it wrong, I think what I meant was that with 4GB your PC can't handle a lot with high graphics and will be quite laggy. Yeah, that's what i meant. Thanks for pointing that out.
