Advice on PC to buy

[The NightAngel]

Im sick to death of a 20fps group hunt so going to buy a new machine.
Spending around £400 can anyone suggest a good place/build. It will be a dedicated gaming pc as ill keep my other for media n browsing ect.
Will need to play things like diablo3-ros ect.

Ill need it to include windows unless you can advise on that too..

Thanks in advance.

£16 over budget, but would suit you perfectly for your needs, and it would play any modern game fine

That comes with no OS.

So depends if the guy can get a copy and install it himself.

Here are a couple I have come across, one a little more powerful than the other hence price increase, still within your budget but as joking said in his post, these come without an OS. More than capable of running the games you said probably on a high end graphic option too.

thanks! Loving the look of that second one.
is installing a OS from scratch as simple as formatting? Just slap the cd in n follow the instructions?
Next Q. Windows 7 or 8?

 

[Slipmatt]

Yeh it's pretty much that simple, I use windows 8.1 BUT my PC game with it pre installed, however if it was choice I'd definately go with windows 7.

Very similar to what my PC is running and I run these files perfectly fine on my PC so I would think you'd be fine.

probably the best advices you can give at this point are a few:

1) buy it without windows.. you will save 80/100 quid to put it in hardware

2) decide whether you are looking for long term (with upgradability) or just power because if you go with new hardware configurations you will probably end up with a less performance wise pc than going with old components seeing the prices of the latest i3/i7 cores and motherboards.. on the other hand getting latest components will allow you to upgrade to a longer period.

then i'd say that any dual core 2.8+GHZ with 6+GB DDR3 with 512MB DDR5 vga will run chronicles with no problem but if you are sticking to windows 8 you might prefer to boost a little the specs in comparison to win7.. especially RAM

As you can see from the thread about speed, it is hit and miss. Someone could give you am awesome pc to buy and it might not perform as it should with these files.

The game code is really old.

My iPhone is faster than the PC I played Mir on.

Any performance related problems are bottlenecks on the code or drivers.

It is that simple. Don't spend a fortune.
