Hey my friend wants to purchase a computer to play games such as...
Planetside 2, Diablo 3, Starcraft 3.

With windows 7 and including GST this computer will be $850.

With Windows 7 this one will be $1120.

This one is $1200 with an i5 processor upgrade.


Please rank them best to worse/
Consider performance, price and durability.
 
Personally, I would go for the second one. Reasoning is because it is Nvidia powered. My recent experiences with AMD is far from decent, so I don't suggest them anymore.
 
i second that opinion as well. the 2nd option looks the best of them. gtx 650 plus an i5= goodness. for those 3 options, thats the preferred.
 
How much is this guy willing to spend? If he has a lot to spend, he'd be best off building it himself or getting you to build it for him.

To tell you the truth, I don't really like any of those systems.
 
well out of the 3, id choose the 2nd one. thats what the OP wanted out of his thread. :good:

out of the 3, which would you choose.
 
The second one has a better CPU than the third one, but a lesser GPU. The third one has a lesser CPU, but a stronger GPU.

I think I'd go for the third one if it isn't much more than the second one.
 
I would not touch the third one. AMD graphics, I don't trust them at all.

The more powerful CPU, and less troublesome GPU brand of the second one is more than enough to make it the far better buy.
 
I've never had a problem with them and I know plenty of people who have them and don't have problems.

Either one is a good buy.
 
There is only 2 ways AMD works. Either you use them with no trouble, or you have nothing but trouble from them. No rhyme or reason. Support them if you want, but I am not going to support a company that charges $400 for a card that has a 50% chance of being a paperweight.
 
What resolution is this guy looking at play Planetside 2 at? Because I have a 5870 which is a stronger card than both the GTX 650 and the HD 7770 and maxed out at 1080p, I only get around 30 FPS with Planetside 2. If he's playing on a small resolution, he'll probably be OK though.
