If not please link me a good gaming computer for less than 1000, if it's more, then I would appreciate if you would tell me why it is worth it. All I will be doing on this computer is playing games as I have a mac laptop for everything else. I want steam and I want to be able to run just about every game, thanks.

Answer 1

That is a terrible gaming computer. It doesn't have a dedicated graphics chip. From a gaming standpoint, it's actually worse than a 1 year old Macbook Air. You're way better off getting something like the base Alienware X51, which only has an i3 processor but which comes with an Nvidia GTX 745 graphics card. It's not a great machine- you could build something far better if you were willing to put it together yourself- but it should be able to play just about every game out there. Going up closer to your price cap, you could get a computer like the Asus I linked below on Newegg, which is $970 - $50 mail in rebate, which has a Core i7 and a GTX 760 graphics card.
