iBUYPOWER Gamer Power AMD AM567D3 Review

3:43 PM

This review is about another low-budget gaming desktop, the iBUYPOWER Gamer Power AMD AM567D3. The specs of this computer are pretty good for this price, they are similar to some ~$700 gaming PCs. This doesn't mean it's powerful enough for playing latest games at highest settings. The ATI HD 5570 is an lower end graphics card which has performance similar to HD 4670, this means it can nicely play few year old games with med-high settings at low resolutions. Lets have a closer look at the specifications. For just $569.99 you get an awesome 2.8GHz AMD Phenom II quad-core processor, 1GB ATI Radeon HD5570 video card, large 1TB HDD and 4GB RAM. iBUYPOWER Gamer Power AMD AM567D3 Gaming Desktop Computer also comes with a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, not sure if it's 32 or 64 bit version. As you can see from the $501 to $700 gaming computer comparison chart, there are no better deals in this price range. This iBUYPOWER is perfect for people who want the cheapest pre-built gaming PC that is capable for gaming.


Pros:
 Good specs for price
 Big hard disk
 
Cons:
 None

Titanium Gamer AM6020 Gaming Computer Review

3:58 PM


Titanium Gamer AM6020 is a very interesting gaming computer for $669.99. It is probably the only sub-$700 gaming computer that has both good graphics card and an operating system. Titanium Gamer AM6020 uses the Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 which is significantly faster than ATI's HD 5670 and HD 5570 that are very common in $600-$750 gaming computers. This Titanium Gamer also has a decent AMD quad-core processor - 3.0GHz AMD Athlon II X4 640, rather average 4GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB hard disk. The Titanium Gamer AM6020 Gaming Computer is equipped with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, just like most new computers. It is hard to find better pre-built gaming computer for under $700 that has better specs and an operating system. I really recommend Titanium Gamer AM6020 if you don't mind the strange computer case.



Pros:
 Nice graphics card
 Quad-core processor
 Good price

Cons:
 None

2:26 PM


Systemax Gaming PC SG-1010 MMO is a powerful gaming computer that has fairly good specs for the price. Most importantly it has a fast graphics card and a quad-core AMD Athlon II.

Let's take a look at other main specifications of this gaming computer. This Systemax has 500GB hard drive, 4GB
