Hi guys, i own a 17''ich screen hp probook 4720s ,core i5 HD radeon 6300,laptop. for a long time this was enough to run my fifa and pes series but of late(2 -3 yrs) its been falling short cos of system requirements for these games always going up, I can't upgrade the GPU so i plan on getting a fairly used core i7 or 2nd gen core i5 branded system and upgrading the gpu( nvidia geforce gtx 750 ti 2gb) and probably the psu and ram. I like your help in getting the best deals for this setup , so please can anyone link me up to where i can get most especially the graphics card? 1 Like |

Proper PC gaming is an expensive hobby. If you've got the means to get one you'll never go back to console gaming. PC Pros 1. Better graphics 2. Uncapped framerates 3. A gaming PC does more than games including video,music,photo editing, word,excel...to sum it up productivity. 4. Customizations. Sell old component to buy new; reasonable savings.... Have to stop here but will continue tomorrow sleep dey catch me. 2 Likes |

Thanks AKBliv010 for your reply, i was thinking about Nvidia GTX 750 TI, i know the Nvidia onces you mentioned are better for gaming than GTX750 but gtx 750 might be a cheaper alternative, so if you have gtx 750 i'll be willing to cough out lets say 50k? |

1. It's possible to play console made games on pc, but you cannot play pc made games on consoles. 2. If you feel like. You can connect your pc to your TV and get the console experience. 3. Don't forget that PC is upgradable and there's always a fix or tweak. 4. PC can perform multiple actions. 5. Everything consoles can do, PC's can do 1000 times. And better. 4 Likes |

PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming, a $300 PC with an Athlon X4 845 and RX 460 outperforms every current console and plays every game at 1080p 60 FPS medium settings not to mention the free online gameplay, if you say PC games are too expensive, do consoles have a full collection of 3000+ free games?(steam F2P) I can order a PC game from Jumia/konga and it comes with a steam key, I get free online gameplay while you pay for your monthly online multiplayer, PCs don't get outdated as much as consoles, the minimum GPU requirement to play gta 5 is an 8800GT (Google the release date) If I built a $600 PC in 2014 (i3 4360) and R7 270X) I'd only have to upgrade once throughout the consoles lifespan ($180 RX 470) and now the consoles are already getting replaced 2 1/2 years into their lifespan completely eliminating the "I don't have to upgrade" argument. not all PC games are Cracked, YOU buy cracked games, saying you moved to console gaming because console games can't be played on PC is a laughable excuse, each platform has their own exclusives and with Microsoft merging the windows 10 platform with the XBOX there's no reason to buy an Xbox only if you're too lazy to do research on the Internet and build your own PC. in 2014 at the release of these new generation consoles, you could build a better PC for less than the consoles, I'd rather build a pc and upgrade it once rather than buying a new console and buying a new one again only 3 years later and get a newer one AGAIN throughout the 7 years (Microsoft has two more Xboxes planned within the next three years) You chose a very wrong time to be a console gamer when you pay full price for games without any sales or pay just to get online gameplay while this is free on PC, Overwatch is $40 on pc and $60 on consoles, Thanks to AMD's GCN architectural improvements and driver optimization over time, you can use a single (mid range) graphics card over a period of six years without a single upgrade and still get better graphics/FPS than the consoles. not to mention the usefulness of a PC, a pc can keep you alive and well with the money you can earn from doing things like E-sports Gaming (DOTA, LoL, CS:GO) 2D animation 3D animation 3D Rendering video editing online jobs cryptocurrency mining ... etc if you're judging PCs by laptops you are making a very HUGE mistake, a 300K laptop is only equivalent to a 120K desktop at the cost of size and weight for an overall stronger computer, Laptops are extremely expensive and a $600 laptop barely catches up to a $300 PC. I can use a four year old $500 pc with an ivy bridge i5 and HD 7850 for seven years without upgrades while making money off the same pc I built with money 3 Likes 1 Share |

Samtoby: This guy sha do you know your facts at all... firstly uncharted 4 is a playstation exclusive itd not on xbox its not on wii u its no whereelse so why would pc have it Secondly yes to get a very good pc that will handle tthe latest games at the highest and best graphics possible costs around $800 - $1000 sometimes more but then again the games on pc r cheaper check konga or jumia and see new pc games around 2-5k where as their console counterpant is reaching 13-20k 1 Like |

JIMMY1393: with the release of the RX 470 a good gaming pc that'll max out everything at 1080P 50+ FPS will cost you around $500-$550 (i3 6100/8GB DDR4/H110 MB/W1 500)... even better |

There is a difference btw gamers and PC gamers. The latter are more of tweakers than actual gamers. |

Silkmoth33: I disagree with this, just because PC gamers are more tech savvy doesn't mean we aren't actual gamers, you're confusing PC gamers with PC/Hardware enthusiasts |

RX480: No man! PC gamers and Hardware pirate enthusiasts alike are one and the same As much as you love to brag and play games for dirt cheap amounts. You still toil with the idea of tinkering and stretching the limits of your personal modifications of the games you are privy to. |
Re: Why I Had to Dump PC Gaming For Console Platform (PS4) by RX480(m): 5:20pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Silkmoth33: No man! gamers and enthusiasts are similar but different, an enthusiast is someone who wants the most powerful piece of hardware in existence an enthusiast is someone who buys 4 Titan XPs just to top the 3Dmark charts, an enthusiast is someone like this http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4630297 , an enthusiast uses games as benchmarks to measure the power of their rigs. an enthusiast is also an overclocker, they'll spend thousands of dollars trying to get the most out of their hardware, pushing everything to the limit, overclocking CPUs to 8 Ghz, playing Witcher 3 at 4K 200+ FPS. a gamer is someone who wants something sufficient for their needs... brb |
