Title: Gaming PC
Post by: rheady on 21 September 2012, 10:17
Can anyone recommend some gaming PC's priced between £600 to £800. Hoping to get something that will be upgradable over time but is good enough for the likes of battlefield 3 etc. Its for my son's Christmas present so just greeting an early heads up.

These Guys are the Mutts nutts just custom build 1 in your price range or buy the premade ones and yes before people say it you can build 1 yourself cheaper yes you can but not by much and these guys do a 3 year warranty with a ximagatek power unit

would a console not be more appropriate? Depending on which one his mates have he can play online with them? Or do his mates have PC's too? These days its all about online gaming isn't it?

I was under the impression PC gaming was dying a slow death

PC's have always been the the No. 1 gaming machine of choice, and still are.  Consoles are definitely a lot easier as they "just work".  But a PC offers a far better overall gaming experience when you have the correct machine.

Especially if you love first person shooters, as a keyboard/mouse combo will beat someone on a joypad all day long  :smiley:

As for your machine rheady, I'd say build you own.
