I was going to buy a gaming laptop but read that desktops last longer and are upgradable ,This will be my first time building a gaming desktop my budget is 1500 or under need help on what parts I need. Thanks


Answer
Go to this website first--PcPartsPicker.com--This gives you prices and compatibility of parts. I always buy parts from Newegg.com for the best store. Buy a Rosewill case and power supply for best for the money. Buy a case with 3 fans(120mm), a power supply(psu) with 700 watts. ASRock extreme 3 motherboard with the same socket number as your processor for compatibility. Core i5 Intel processor-you don't need an i7 cpu for gaming. I use an AMD FX-4170 which works for me and costs less than the i5 although many gamers like the i5. 8GB of DDR3 ram 1600MHz. Sony optical drive dvd reader and burner for about 20 dollars. SATA 500GB or 1TB hard drive 7200 rpm 32MB cache or 64MB cache. I just bought a Radeon 7870 2GB video card at Newegg.com for $214 and it is great for the cost. Most people upgrade the video card every 2 years or so like I do. Thats why I stay in the 200 dollar range since in 2 years the 200 dollar one then will be twice as fast as the 200 dollar one is now. And an OS, get Windows7 for about 100 dollars-Home Premium is good for gaming- as W8 doesn't have the bugs worked out yet, you can upgrade in the future. I bought W8 for only 40 dollars but went back to Windows7 for now till w8 gets a service pack. You should be able to build a good one for under 900 to 1000 dollars.
All the parts and wires go into the only place they fit. There are 7 tiny wires from the front of the case to the mobo that have to be exactly right for it to start. The mobo manual will have a diagram that shows how to get them right, this is the trickiest part of pc building. Put the optical drive(dvd) in the case and the hard drive b4 you put in the mobo. Then install the power box and ram and video card.

What is the best laptop to get for under 900 dollars?

I heard hp laptops were the best quality is this true?

Also what is the simplest way for me to get internet and have it hooked up?



Answer
Like ALL manufacturers, HP has its ups and downs so before making a final decision on ANY brand, check reviews!

Here are a few places that will help you:

Alas laptops in this price range make sacrifices in the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) department and MOST (including HP) use the (shared memory) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD which is only a class 3 GPU (AKA Low-Midrange Graphics Chip).

These GPUs are considered the lower end of the Graphics Chips for users who want to play games.

New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

And the fact that it is "shared" memory means that it steals RAM from your system that you cannot use elsewhere.


But here is a "Very good" possible choice:

Newegg: The lenovo IdeaPad Y550 (41865BU) NoteBook with the Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 (2.10GHz), 15.6" Wide XGA, 4GB Memory, 320GB HDD @ 5400rpm, Dual layer DVD Burner "AND" a 512mb (dedicated not shared) NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146584

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M is a dedicated memory class 2 GPU (AKA Midrange Graphics Chip)

These chips should be able to display all current games with fluent framerates but not all with high detail settings.

Especially demanding games like Crysis, Age of Conan, or Mass Effect are only playable with lower settings.

Less demanding (and older) games, like Fifa 08, Command & Conquer 3, or Battlefield 2142 can be played with higher detail levels.

As it is dedicated memory, you get to keep your other RAM for something else!

The GPU details are here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-130M.13789.0.html

Look at the good 10417 NVIDIA score in the 3DMark 05 benchmark compared to the paltry 1269 Intel score on the notebookcheck site.
