Looking for a low to mid range pc, budget around 1.2k, can add a little more if required.

Dont need monitor, req can play games like gta 5 high / ultra setting?

That's about it.

Quite a lot of custom pc shops like aftershock / those on fb like dreamcore, don't know which to get :s11:

if looking to diy, there is already the pc rig recommendation thread by moneyface, have suggested builds for each budget.

otherwise, aftershock is an ok choice. also need to know what is ur monitor resolution, cos 1080p and 1440p max settings can mean very different gpus.

Dreamcore better. Cannot find reviews for Aftershock PC, buy things must see review first.

My current monitor is a 1080p one, but intend to get another 27'' to use as main monitor.

these 2 sites, i see the spec are similar, price diff about 40 50?

Are there any specific diff? Aftershock one is cheaper :eek:

I see that dreamcore has one of this builds,

what are the refresh rates of your current and replacement screens? also need to know the resolution of the 27" replacement screen, cos usually above 24" ppl will start looking for 1440p.

if both screens are 1080p and not high refresh rate (ie. <75Hz) then u could drop a tier and get a rig with the 1660/super.

also personally dont see the diff between the 2 builds.

I have 3 HP e243m monitors at home from company for work. Think of utilising it for a home PC as well. Any suggestion on where to get for no fuss basic gaming PC of less than 1k. I doubt I'll pay much games. More for usual Netflix and non fps games
