Hey guys. I'm in the market for a gaming PC and was looking to get some ideas on what would be my best options for around $800. The PC games I will be playing will be racing sims like Rfactor, Iracing, GTR Evo, etc. to hold me over until GT5 comes out. Hopefully for around $800 dollars I will be able to get a PC capable of maxing out the graphic capabilities of each game...although I wouldn't mind spending a bit less if there was a really good deal out there of course
Also, I will likely be connecting the PC to my 42" LCD HDTV for now...so HDMI output would be nice.
I had talked to another member on here and he suggested the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2024 Phenom II: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229134 from Newegg. He also gave me a few options as far as building my own PC as well, which sounded a bit interesting after thinking it over.
Now my question is - What would be the best pre-built PC for $800 or less? Also, how much would I be saving by building my own system in that price range? Reason I ask is because if it will only save me $100 when it's all said and done I rather just get something pre-built and not have to hassle with putting it together. Now if I can save say $200 or more by building my own system I might consider going that route, and either saving a bit of money, or spending the extra money to get better components versus what I would get with a $800 pre-built PC.
Anyways, if anyone can help me out or give me any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance.
