SRL Archive - Gaming

I've been trying to buy a new pc but i have no idea what i should buy,

Im hoping to get some help from the SRL community!

I need a good pc for both gaming (highspecgames) and botting on oldschool runescape.
I don't want to build my pc. ( can't easily get all parts i need in the netherlands
if i use dutch websites they charge 1.5 for everything )
Preferred from amazon.com or if you can find it cheaper in the netherlands (i don't think so)

budget = 800$

Thanks alot!

Bad idea. A prebuilt will cost way more than equivalent components.

Get an Alienware. They're overpriced, but they work as advertised.

I don't support terrorism so I can't link you to a pre-built

^ If you really must insist on a prebuilt. Not sure about the availability in Netherlands ( does Amazon do international shipping cheap?) but something similar would be fine. You probably could build an equivalent for 300 dollars less but to each his own I suppose. I suppose if you upgrade the video card in the future its decent.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX745 Graphics with 4GB of Discrete Video Memory

4gb video memory? lol yeah right.

although…

GTX 745 (OEM) Memory Specs:
1.8 Gbps Memory Clock
Up to 4 GB Standard Memory Config
DDR3 Memory Interface
28.8 Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)

Enjoy your ddr3 ram on a gfx card when you should be running at least gddr4.
as well as your 384 cuda cores… interesting when my 5"x5" ARM board has 192 (half of that).

Well the OP did say under $800 budget prebuilt. Honestly there aren't many options that are better. And Yea the gtx 745 is a really gimped GPU. Even a GTX 750 is way better. But still its probably enough for everyday use and light gaming.
On a side note, gddr4 doesn't exist on the PC platform. I believe you are referring to gddr5.

it was really more of a joke about how it was ddr3 and there are numerous better alternatives.

Well to be fair Gddr4 was only used in some old AMD Radeon series cards ( I forgot which series). It was intended to replace Gddr3 but it was phased out pretty quickly. Honestly for such a mediocre card like the GTX 745, gddr3 and gddr5 wouldn't make much of a difference anyways. But yea, fair point :).

the build I linked has like quadruple the performance rofl
