Hey everyone!
IHey there! I’ve been gaming on my Mac for a while now, but it’s starting to feel a bit cramped with all my expansion packs. It gets super hot and slows down a bit too. I’m thinking of getting a gaming PC and monitor, but I’m totally new to PC setups and don’t know where to start. If anyone could recommend some good brands, I’d be so grateful! Thanks a bunch!
yh6fofi5wm91 The brand has very little to do with whether a computer is the right choice for you. It's true that some brands are higher quality than others, but what matters more is the hardware you're getting for the price. So the place to start is with a budget, and let me know whether that includes a monitor.
I will say that unless your budget is low, it's best to avoid Dell and HP models (other than some Omens). These tend to perform significantly worse than their processor and graphics card would suggest, and they tend to be difficult to repair or upgrade. What you want, ideally, is a system integrator that uses the same components you'd buy at a store. So even if you personally would never do any repairs or upgrades, someone else could source and install standard parts for you.
I can provide specific recommendations, or I can list the components you should look for in your price range, whatever you prefer.
