Best Affordable PC for Gaming

[Dylan]

I want to know if I can trade in my PC laptop (less than 6 months old) for a more powerful desktop.

I'm thinking 3ghz min, but not sure if that is too much. Decent graphics, and some good hd space.

Would it be possible to hook up a base unit to my laptop and use the laptop as the monitor?

You don't need 3Ghz nowadays. A great decent priced Quad-core CPU will clock in at around 2.6Ghz, remember, that is essentially (in a very basic terms) 4 CPU's running @ 2.6Ghz.

Seriosuly, take GSG's advice and give some thought to AMD's latest set of CHEAP quad-core chips. Sure the Intel's trounce them in every test, but the AMD chips are a quarter of the price for 80% of the performance, and that can't be beaten.

Cool, sounds like a good plan.

Reckon it may have something to do with your Apple desires. Stay away from that tree, and remind eve!

ah right, good one.

Not seen the light, I know PC are better at gaming than Mac's, but then Mac's are better in every other way. But it's the tools for the job.

Except Macs are PC's of course, but that is a different discussion for a different time
