Britbong here, what's the ideal budget for an entry-level gaming PC?
>>331202020
900 quid ought get you everything you need for a good 3 or 4 years of play.
I5 or i7 plus a 900 series gpu or a 290 I guess will be about 500 maybe 550, the rest you can spend on other shit. If you need a monitor add an extra 100 quid.
800 if you respect yourself
>entry-level
800bux is the bare minimum you should spend
anything less you might aswell get a console

So I'm looking at around £800-£1000 then. Thanks, anons.
>>331202521
Entry level? No, more like £400, depending if you want a 370 or 960.
>>331202020
That is about right.
PC Masterrace for cheap is more of an American thing.
However, if you budget properly and look on ebay for parts with manufacturer warranties or special deals. You can save a fair bit.
But you won't be replacing certain things every rebuild.

I've mainly been looking at Amazon for parts, Ebay sounds like a better deal.

The parts still come with manufacturer warranties, but buying them from Amazon, Dabs, Scan, Aria etc allows you to send it to them and then they deal with the hassle.
$700 seems like a good place to start if you want to run new AAA games 60fps on high-ultra. This includes $600 for parts and $100 if you ant to buy an OS. Also if you want a high end keyboard and mouse that will be extra but honestly unless you have money to burn or are playing games competitively for money or some shit they aren't worth it

If you're going budget at least wait 2 months for budget dx12 cards so your budget will last you a good few years
i don't know what ideal budget means, and for entry-level lets just say you want to run today's games but have absolutely no standards of quality beyond getting them to run - like £350. However the closer to £500 you get the less poverty and more realistic things become.
pretty much just get 960/370 and then see how much you're willing to spend on a chip and the rest builds itself.
>>331203313
probably not a great idea if you are building, having to chase down RMAs etc from ebay outlets can be a pain / impossible. you can hunt down great deals for bundles, and/or put together the rest on pcpartpicker
or these days just buy something premade from a good outlet, you are only paying like £40 over the component parts anyway and save all the hassle.
Britbong also here, I need a laptop for Uni, but I also want it to be good for gaming. Was looking around and found this.

Is this good enough for 3-4 years? Is there any laptops around as/better for the same price or cheaper? Budget is about £800-£1000
Also, the consoles are no longer even 400$. So you are going to have to go cheaper now.

Name 5 good pc exclusives from the past 10 years worth building a pc for
>>331204518
There's more to a PC then games, if you're in employment or education chances are you'd need one anyway.
>>331202762
Entry level implies you have no monitor and/or peripherals
700/800 would be minimum
>>331204518
Why does pc need exclusives when it plays console games better than them, and has a librabry spanning 3 decades of console and pc exclusives? Give it up, pv isnt in the console wars for a reason, its in another league.
>>331204518
Id rather just buy a PC than two consoles.
>>331204260
Go get a cheap ass notebook and build a proper desktop pc. Also do you even need that labtop for Uni? I bought one myself for that purpose and never really used it.
