| 1346494 | 2013-06-21 05:36:00 | A 1 year warranty? No way, don't touch it. An equivalent PC from CL is around $100 more, will be built to a far better quality, and comes with a proper warranty. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1346495 | 2013-06-21 08:02:00 | You would do better to spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU, ditch the water cooling to cover the cost and you can probably get a 7970... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Motherboard - ASUS come with 3 year warranties, Western Digital Drive, Coolermaster Extreme PSU, Sapphire Graphic Cards, all 2 year warranty. |

Go to a PC store not a games seller or a chain store, they do their best bless 'em but they don't know computers. I'd suggest Aiming for something with; i5 (or i7 but games don't run any better to date) GTX 670 or HD 7970 (I'd go Nvidia myself but both are decent) 8Gb of RAM - only get more if you have a use for it outside of gaming or it's a standard part of the deal. Quality PSU, nice case Windows 7 or 8 - they game the same so it's a matter of which you prefer. And if the price is low enough add a 120Gb or 256Gb SSD as a C: drive. Any smaller and you can't install any games to it and managing space can become an issue, any bigger costs a small fortune. Some games that access the drive a lot run much better from an SSD, most however only launch slightly quicker but play the same so it's a luxury and not needed. |

I agree. It's OK, not keen on Sapphire as a brand, I'd change that to ASUS or Gigabyte. AMD? Mmmmmm.....it's OK, but I'd go Intel for gaming. ComputerLounge has a better warranty (they honour manufacturer warranty on parts) and it's configurable from them, you can alter parts.... |

| 1346501 | 2013-06-27 02:40:00 | Mighty Ape will honour the manufacturer warranty too (they have to), but after the first year you'd probably have to isolate the fault to a specific component yourself and return it to base (assuming that part has a warranty longer than one year). | pablo d (15490) | ||
