i may have money at some point to upgrade gfx and ram but not atm so any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

The ZT Affinity 7594Mi is the best but still is kind of bad. You can not use integrated Intel Graphics for gaming. Its around $700. I think the CPU,RAM, Monitor, and OS make it worth it. I would normally tell you to build your own which is the best option most of the time. I don't want to go through and see how much it would be if you built it yourself with most of the same parts but I think it would be around the same price but with a better video card but that is without the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I say get it but you will have to get a video card with it. Get something like a Geforce GTX 460 or 560. They are under both under $200. I know you say you can't get a video card right now but you need something. Like I said the Intel Graphics can't run anything.

Answer 2

Cyberpower should be punched in the balls for calling ANY of these gaming computers, especially the ones with integrated graphics. What a friggin' joke.



That being said, the first has the best CPU. Go with that and upgrade the video card as soon as possible.



mdmartin should stop posting for actually recommending Windows XP 32-bit on a new computer. Some newer games will NOT run on it (BF3 requires at least Vista, among other games, and that number is only going to grow), newer applications will not run on XP, 32-bit means your maximum RAM is limited well below 4GB, and the only advantage it has is a smaller footprint on the system, which isn't an issue on new hardware. You're actually advocating a ten year old OS that is finally getting phased out by developers? Come back when you actually have a clue, you dolt.



Get the ZT Affinity. You're stuck with Intel HD graphics until you get a better video card, but it's by far the best CPU of the lot.

Answer 3

Cyberpower should be kicked in the nuts for saying that these AMD powered computers are worth their salt. Double kick in the junk for starting that Windowz 7 is worth it's salt too. Stick with Windows XP 32 bit, and you can play any game out there. Get a decent GPU also.
