Good Gaming Computer 2011?

Eric

Hello, I am looking for a good gaming computer with an i7 processor and at least 16GB of RAM that is 1,000$ Or less. Thank you and if you could provide a link to the computer that would be great! REMEMBER Computer NOT Laptop

Answer
You can just build your own computer, by buying the parts and putting them together. That would save you LOTS of money.
parts you might want to consider:
processor: i7 2600k
GPU:GTX 560 or Radeon HD 5850
ram is really your choice, because you want 16gb. But in my own opinion you really don't need that much.
Probably 6-8gb is good for gaming.
I hope you have fun building a comp. :D

Best Gaming laptop for under $1000 dollars?

Thomas

I'm 13 year's old and I go on the computer quite often I have a crappy Acer laptop that can't run any games not even stupid flash games on miniclip.com. I am looking for a gaming laptop that will be able to run minecraft no problem with at least 4 gigabytes of ram and a hardrive with more then 500 gb. The only catch is it has to be under $1000 dollars. I only get paid $100 dollars per semester if I get strait A's in school wich will be extremely hard. Please help me and if you guys now an easy way for a 13 year old to get money id like that.
THANKS!!

Answer
Well here's a great gaming laptop for under 1000 Dollars:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+XPS+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Elemental+Silver/5773281.p?id=1218694833932&skuId=5773281

It can run any game that came out in 2011 and before on high graphics without lag but would probably run recent games on medium to high graphics. It's a really great laptop for its price and would really recommend you to get it. Though, if you're planing on buying a laptop in like 6 to 9 months from now, i'd say wait until then and then start looking for a laptop to buy because by then there would probably a lot of better laptops for a cheaper price than there are now. Good luck on getting good grades though and I hope you enjoy the laptop if you buy it! =)

You can find reviews of laptops at CNET. They have reviews for the latest laptops on the market.

I recommend DELL laptops, because in my opinion they make the best laptops out there. I still use my DELL Inspiron 1501 that's nearly 5 years old. Take a look at this laptop.
It's called DELL Inspiron 15R and it's cheap and I think it's bes for the price. Specs:

Processor 2nd Generation Intel® Core⢠i5-2430M processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.00 GHz
Operating SystemGenuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit, English
Display15.6" High Definition (720p) LED Display with TrueLifeâ¢
Memory34GB3 Single Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz
Hard Drive 500GB4 SATA hard drive (5400RPM)
Optical Drive 8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive) with Roxio Creator 2011
Video CardIntel HD Graphics/HD Graphics 3000 with up to 1.6GB Dynamic Video Memory
Warranty1 Year Mail-in Repair in 10-14 days after Remote Diagnosis
Weight5.84 lbs

Price: $600

The only thing that sucks is the graphics card. It has Intel VGA, which is not suited for gaming. However, there's a more expensive version of this laptop, which costs $724 and has a dual graphics card. Specs:

Processor 2nd Generation Intel® Core⢠i5-2430M processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.00 GHz
Operating SystemGenuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit, English
Display15.6" High Definition (720p) LED Display with TrueLifeâ¢

Video CardAMD Radeon⢠HD 6470M (64-bit) 512MB (Dual)
Warranty1 Year Basic Support
Weight5.84 lbs

I think this laptop is worth the money.

EDIT: I know many things for computers for a 15 year old kid. My goal is to become a programmer and I am very interested in technology. However, I'm not a gamer, so therefore I don't know much about gaming.

List some games my laptop can run?

Q. OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel i3 M350 2.26 ghz
Graphics: Graphics (R) Media Accelerator HD
Ram: 4 GB

I prefer shooters or RPG, but I am open just give me a good list

Btw I can run the new 2011 World of Tanks and I can run BFBC2 so I think I god a pretty good PC but I don't wanna waste money buying games I can't run.

Should I buy a macbook pro now 2011 or wait for the 2012 version?

RuddyMoua

Don't tell me to buy something else different because I want the macbook pro for school.
Is the Macbook pro 2012 version going to be faster?
What do you think about bootcamp and games?
Games like
Lower end games
DOTA
LOL

Higher end games
Starcraft 2
Diablo 3 when it comes out.

Answer
for gaming, I would be better off having a PC, preferably an Alienware because its graphics are much better and more powerful than macbook pro.

But....

If you want a macbook pro for gaming, yes you'll have to dual boot (bootcamp), the 15" and 17" are better for gaming, 15" high end 2.2Ghz has much better graphics and would strongly recommend that for its GPU speed and processor speed.

I bootcamp my macbook pro for dota allstars (game is very addicting) and as far as I can tell, its not as bad as you think. It will work almost like a PC, but it gets hot, thats my only concern ( I have a cooler pad for mine. ) My macbook is able to handle the games for hours, tested intensely over the summer.

If you want to game on macbook pro, I strongly recommend a cooler pad because your mac will get extremely hot. Keep your laptop cool so the battery will long last and so is your laptop (clean it regularly from the inside, ie clean the fan from dust)

don't wait for 2012 because it will not change much, just some software updates and thats about it. Get it now if you want to.

if you want to save money on macbook pro, buy it from internet because you can save over $200. Don't buy one from apple store, they will rip you off.


EDIT: A 15" mac will be able to handle that, your a dota fan as well? nice, I thought I was the only one.

How to save up for a laptop?

Max

I'm 14 going into high school, but I need a new computer and I really want a MacBook pro that costs nearly two grand. Any tips or advice to save up enough money before 2011? I would really not want to take surveys online, because my parents don't approve but what are some other ways to make enough money when you are 14.

Answer
You could ask your parents if you can open a savings account at a local bank, and start putting all to most of your money into that savings account. You could ask to do chores for money, and also see if you or your parents could open an e-bay account. You could sell video games or clothes that you don't want or need anymore that way (or see if there is a place locally that will buy some of your stuff). The most important thing is that you save everything you can.
