Worth it for gaming in 2017? - Dell XPS8910-10420BLK w/ i7-6700 & GTX 750 Ti

Looking for a ~$900 PC for gaming? Ok, lets have a look at this black minimalist looking Dell XPS desktop computer. It has a pretty good Skylake i7 processor, but the graphics card released in early 2014 and it is 2 generations old (launch price was 149 USD, dropped to around 99 USD, around same price as faster and newer GTX 1050). If you plan to buy this PC for gaming then I suggest something else, because this build is not balanced for playing games, graphics card is less than 10 percent of the total cost of this system. 16GB is nice to have in 2017 and 2TB HDD is sufficient for most, although an SSD would be a nice upgrade for this computer....

Overpriced or not? EVGA GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 04G-P3-2739-KR

By browsing Amazon bestseller list for graphics cards you can find many $400+ cards there and may think "There must be a better deals for less". And there is this 4GB GT 730 in TOP 100... "It costs much less than some other 4GB video cards and this game I'd like to play only requires...

Is it worth it? - CybertronPC Electrum QS-A4 Gaming Desktop

The CybertronPC seems to be a good deal at first glance, at least for an average person, but unfortunately it is quite the opposite when you try the newest games. A high clocked 3.8GHz processor (4GHz with boost), 8GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and AMD Radeon HD 8470D graphics card look pretty good on paper, but in reality the pretty weak dual-core AMD cpu and integrated graphics are not suitable for most modern games. Let's take a popular game like Witcher III which requires a minimum 3GHz AMD quad-core processor and a AMD Radeon HD 7870 graphics card (like other popular games like PUBG etc). It seems like an easy pass, 3.8GHz is higher than 3GHz...

HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f PC (Black) review

Here is a little overview of modest HP home computer. This HP Pavilion is not exactly a gaming desktop, but it seems to be very popular for some reason. It doesn't have a fancy computer case with led lights or an expensive high-end graphics card like most gaming desktops. HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f PC (Black) is a solid computer with six-core processor and lots of RAM, that can also handle some less demanding games like The Sims 3, Left 4 Dead 2 and World of Warcraft.   Graphics card: This HP has AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card with 512MB DDR3 of video memory. HD 6450 is pretty weak, even DDR5 version of this card is more than 2 times...
