Which CPU??

[doosrikothi]

Hello World,

im trying to find a good laptop which covers gaming and college assignments... so in ARK Intel, which specs of the processor are important for better gaming etc.

 

plus does the cpu have an important role in increasing fps on games like Civ5 or CS:GO or should i be on the watch for something else as well

You are pretty much almost ALWAYS better off buying a non gaming laptop that meets your school needs and building a gaming desktop with the left over budget.

 

Gaming laptops are way overpriced for how they perform. And the gaming on the go arguement falls flat on its face since you'll drain the battery so quickly that you'll need to play while charging...which kind of defeats the purpose

Hmm.. sounds convincing. and if that is the case then please tell about my previous question : in ARK Intel, which specs of the processor are important for better gaming etc. for a desktop.

 

plus should i buy a pre made desktop or make one myself?

 

Can you also recommend video cards; processor;RAM as i am more interested in less demanding games

Always build your own pc. It's much cheaper and you can pick all the parts you want instead of settling for what's in the pre-built systems. As for cpu you'd probably want to go with an i5. For graphics card it will depend on your budget but the gtx 1060 and the rx 480 are solid graphics cards. The gtx 1050ti comes out tomorrow if you're looking for a cheaper option that should do fine with your needs.
