@darkw00d i have no idea
-
@darkw00d Well Windows has more games so
-
@darkw00d seriously, computers are the thing i'm worse at, maybe losing to music or socials
-
@darkw00d It's slowly improving for non-Windows users but for now you're still gonna need Windows for hardcore gaming.
-
@darkw00d If you want games, don't go for a mac.
-
@darkw00d Yeah, you could run bootcamp or something.
-
@darkw00d A PC
-
@darkw00d I don't know anything about pre-built models.
-
@darkw00d I honestly don't know about what makes a "good" computer. Sorry.
-
@darkw00d I'd recommend a Phenom II/Bulldozer, 8GB RAM, a Radeon HD 6xxx/7xxx and a >1TB HDD.
-
@darkw00d It's far cheaper than buying a mac.
-
@darkw00d You can buy a phenom II, an HDD, a 6xxx, a motherboard and RAM for less than $800
-
@darkw00d My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv7. 4GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz 3-core (lol) processor, but onboard graphics. Cost $880 when I got it two years ago and it runs whatever I've thrown at it so far (though I don't play all of the newest and greatest games, and I have to bump graphic settings down sometimes). If you're looking for a good gaming computer look for anything that has an actual graphics card.
-
@darkw00d it's intimidating building your first computer, making sure all the hardware is compatible, but there are probably some good guides out there.

-
@darkw00d really
-
@darkw00d I hibernate mine instead of shutting it down. Also, what's the power setting set to? If it's not on High Performance games tend to run terribly.
