Buying a new pc ( for gaming) need recomendations
Osmo:
Okay I don't understand any of this stuff, amd intel etc
All I know is
I want something reccomended for gaming XDDDDDD
This is too much.
I'm not the type of person to build pcs from scratch, all i know is that I can get money if needed then go to shops like currys, pc world, comet (uK stores) and buy hopefully the best thing there.
I know I want 3-4GB of ram
I know I want 500-1000gb of HD
I want a HDMI port for an led screen
interms of the rest of the stuff that make up a pc I know their names but i really dont know which are the best or what they exactly do.
Has anyone got the time to explain this (XD no) or is there a website that has a dummies guide to gaming pcs or pcs in general.
ty come again

I really do think these pcs can do the job, playing games like WOw, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, mass effect 2, right? ............Right?

Wow, first of, don't triple post. =/
I can recommend my own laptop; Acer Aspire 7540G. I can play Batman Arkham Asylum with all effects on + 1024x768. I had to pay 736,910 euros for it. But it seems it's out of your range. To me it seems what the regulars around here recommend is too hard for you to understand; have you tried just going to a place where they sell desktops and laptops? Try that and ask if you can try Windows Experience on them. This is not something I would recommend to rely on completely, but it can help you in your decision.

The processor in that is quite outdated at this point. The video card is also old and it wasn't that great when it was new. I would not buy this computer.

crappy video card
http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/599620/ACER-ASPIRE-X3812/tab/specification#spec
Decent CPU, but the embedded Intel GPU will barely be able to handle Windows, much less any games. If I had to pick any of these, I would say to get this one, and buy a new video card for it from NewEgg and install it yourself.
http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/613797/HP-P6210/tab/specification#spec
No. Just no. The CPU is ancient, and it doesn't even list what GPU it has.
This: http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/610542/HP-WE160AA-ABU/tab/specification
Plus one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102871
That'll do what you want, but you could still get a much better PC if you build it yourself.

Thank you for breaking it down for me.
But this one doesnt have as much ram or space as the others, and is in lower price, I would assume the others ones are better? Just speculating, I think i'll take your word anyway. Also what are the downsides to that one you reccomended? and is there one on that website that is worth buying even if it costs more then the one you linked?
Thank you for your time, you're ever so helpful honeslt.y
btw the second link you mentioned would i have to buy that for the pc to make it decent?
