best gaming laptops under 1000 euro image
Arbiter
Hi. I've had this laptop for 3 years now and I was thinking of getting a new laptop but my uncle, who works in IT, has offered to go out and build a desktop with me. I'm heading to college shortly and if need be, I can use this laptop for college but it's quiet old and slow. So, I'm wondering, should I get a custom made Desktop or a Laptop? Let me expand a bit.
I have a budget of in or around â¬1000 and I will be using the laptop/desktop for gaming as well as running and installing other minor programs for my college course. To my knowledge, a custom built desktop would be much more powerful in terms of gaming and overall performance and you can get better specs for your money. At the same time, the mobility of the laptop is something I'm not too keen on giving up. I plan to use the laptop for college but If I do get a desktop I can use this laptop instead. I will be playing games like the Total War series and Chivalry, but I don't plan on playing any games that have heavy requirements (Battlefield 3, Tomb Raider).
So, I suppose there are a two questions in this...
1) Can I get a powerful laptop for â¬1000 euro that can run games like Chivalry and the Total War series on the highest settings (Ultra)?
2) If not, should I just custom build a desktop?
Answer
Stating your country and mentioning some online shopping for computer parts would help to give a better assessment. I do believe that importing from the UK should approximately equal locally sourced.
PCPARTPICKER has expanded and is now UK, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy, but is not as effective in showing all the best prices and available stores in each country.
I will use the UK as guidance of availability as 1.18 â¬/£ and try to account for shipping. Looking at about 800£ total to work with.
The requirements of the latest Total War and Chivalry are mid-grade and a GT 650M or GT 750M and core i5 in a laptop should handle them well, also allowing the newer games at lower settings. Desktop/Tower PC performance in the price range is substantially higher. For lowest prices of computers, laptops are stronger in performance, but in best value shopping, the break even is about â¬500 where Desktops can substantially outperform, the higher in price you go. If you are going away to a university, certainly a modern laptop is useful, but can be a supplement to a better desktop/tower. The only question is dormitory room space and whether you travel by air about desktop PC shipping convenience.

£736.80 in a tier 2 CPU as FX-4350 AMD build
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
AMD FX-4350 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler, ASRock 990FX Extreme3 ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard, Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Ed 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory, a modest sized SSD Kingston SSDNow V+200 90GB 2.5" Solid State Disk, Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card, Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case, XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply, LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit). This leaves funds for keyboard, mouse, speakers, and an HDMI cable plus differences in shipping, but does not include a monitor.
Certainly, you max out anything at your current gaming level, and all new releases from the series for years to come. It is approximately a top tier gaming PC, with slight weakness in the CPU performance, but the best AMD has to offer. Intel Core i5 builds seem to take too much away from the graphics performance of a balanced complete reliable stable build.

GTX 660 as overclocked I selected approaches GTX 660 TI, playing just about every game on ultra in 1080p, except as bottlenecked by the CPU, so Far Cry 3, Planetside 2, 64 man Battlefield-3 may be high settings instead. It is about optimizing choices. With a monitor/display added you lose some performance. A system like this can set plans on top level games.

Total War Rome II on the Lenovo is High settings, but not ultra

The MSI with GTX 660M, just crosses ultra settings, so that is the level you need as GT 750M/GTX 660M in a laptop. These are below GTX 550 Ti level, and as you can see, you get substantially higher gaming in a desktop at your price point.

I would like to buy a good gaming PC, my budget is under 900-1000 euro. It must be able to deliver to the republic of Ireland too (so newegg will not work) Can anybody provide a link to a PC where I would get my moneys worth?
