The Best Gaming PC's for Under $1000

Four pre-built gaming PC options that could stack up against a DIY.

 

One of them:

 

Asus M51AC

Specs:

  • CPU: 3.4Ghz Intel Core i7-4770
  • RAM: 16GB DDR3
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
  • HDD: 1TB 7200RPM

Price: $879.99

 

 

 

An outstandingly powerful gaming rig that’s more than suitable for the costUnfortunately, squeezing that amount of powerful components in there for such a low pre-built price means that there isn’t much else. 

 

You crack me up IGN. The manufacturers of these machines do so even more. A 4770k and a GT 620? Best combination of components ever.

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

They defiantly aimed that at console users that are changing over because alot of console gamers think that the CPU and the RAM are the most important and so they ignore the graphics card and bang you get 10 year olds who literally just got robbed

Hope I could help!

i laughed so much as i was watching this. they have no idea what they were doing.

 

"We didn't want to get a GTX680 because we wanted to save a few bucks."

 

then what might one call a $225 motherboard and a $300 CPU? $300 was what i spent on my motherboard, CPU, and heatsink alone.
