    Hey all, im one of those people that see gibberish when i see any sort of computer specs. So i would really like some help in picking out a computer that would run video games smoothly.
    (Stuff like Gw2, Swtor, and other major MMOs)

    These are a few i saw that i thought would do the trick... any opinions?

    I really have no clue which would be the best, thank you!

    If you know of a site that sell decent computers for a low price it would be great... my budget currently is around 1k.

    Hi Koisik, welcome to CHF..

    I'm not a person that plays video games, but there are members and staff here that would be able to give good sound advice. However, all of the computers you have linked to seem to be pretty good performance wise.

    Someone with more knowledge than me will post in the next few hours..

    In terms of the computers you've chosen all are good computers, the 4th one you chose I wouldn't get, neither would I get the 2nd computer based on the weaker graphics card.

    The trade off between the other two is a better processor in the 1st computer or a better graphics card with the 3rd computer, this though above your 1k budget (same as 3rd PC) would be the better one to go with overall - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2550763&CatId=2627


    You would be ok with the 1st PC but for the graphics card, so I'd recommend the one linked above performance wise if you don't want to mess about upgrading the graphics card.
