  • You must remember that some games work better with specific hardware. Let's take Skyrim for example, which didn't work that well with NVidia graphics cards (however there are already fixes for that).

    And some games might require a lot more from the CPU than GPU, like the grand strategy games from Paradox Interactive.

    But anyway, PC number 1 is better for gaming (generally), just like Darkoil said.

    • oh are u sure?
      btw,i just checked,and pc1 has 4gb ram,not 6. i made a mistake.
      does that change a lot?
      cause i heard more ram the better and that intel i5 is much better than the amd one.
      i would like to play GTA IV or batman arkham city on high.
      idk which one to pick :O

      • Quality over quantity. If a game uses only 2 gb of RAM, it won't make any difference if you had 4, 8 or even 16 gb of RAM installed. The game still won't use more than 2 gb. So it's more important to have fast memory.

        EDIT: Well, of course you shouldn't have just 2 gb of RAM if the game uses upto 2 gb, because your operating system and all programs running on the background will also take some memory.

          • Should I hide somewhere? :D

            Try googling for the different pieces of hardware and adding search words like "problem", "for gaming" and "bad". The first links might be to some forums with discussion about the hardware. That way you can find some information about weird problems and tips about other hardware within the same price range.

            Like googling "ATI Radeon HD 5770 bad" (or something) gave a forum where people pointed out that another card costs exactly the same but is almost twice as powerful. The other card just wasn't advertised that much.

      • You can put as much ram in as you want but it still won't make that much of a difference compared to the difference between the graphics cards. Ive got 4 gb of ram and I havnt come across a game yet that i can't play on ultra.
