Hello, everyone! I'm planning to buy a new desktop computer, because my current one is quite old now and not very reliable anymore.
Can anyone suggest me any good computers in price range from 600 to 850€ (800 to 1200$)?
I'll mostly use it for gaming (GTA IV, San Andreas, The Sims 3, FIFA 13, Minecraft - I want to run these games on Medium/High settings, 30+ FPS) and it has to be an improvement over my old computer (it's quite old). :)

My old desktop computer's specs:
Operating System: Windows XP Professional 32-bit (5.1, Build 2600)
System Manufacturer: INTEL
System Model: DQ3510J
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Hard Drive: C: (250 GB) D: (230 GB)
DirectX version: DirectX 9.0c
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Approx. Total Memory: 512 MB

So, this new computer should have at least 8 GB of RAM and better graphics card (if it's possible). Also, please tell me if it has an operating system installed on already or at least a licence.
Oh, and if it's possible for the computer to be upgradeable (to max. 16 GB of RAM)? That would be good. :D

Thanks in advance!

For gaming, I would honestly suggest building it yourself. You'll get a much better system in the long run.

Great, except it's all in USD and stuff in America is cheaper than the rest of the world.

There have been a lot of users here lately asking for systems but are living in Continental Europe.

A user lately bought this stuff below from a shop in Finland I think for just under 800 Euros.

It's a pretty good build (though I'd get a nicer case probably), and is better than your existing setup.

I would recommend looking for something along those lines. You'll need to buy an OS too remember. Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit would be ideal.

Look to buy it from a shop in your country to avoid having to get it from other countries. You could save money.
 
Alright, I knew it was more expensive over there but not that bad :eek: I will have to make some builds using Euros ;)
 
It was 17.5% in the UK but it was raised to 20% a couple of years ago. That's VAT (Value Added Tax).
