You can check out aftershock if your set on getting a prebuilt. Otherwise its recommended to get a DIY Computer.

I would really recommend doing DIY and learning some basic stuff to save the few hundreds of dollar. For what you are looking for it can probably be done at around $1.7k(a very conservative estimate liao) if you DIY

U can get some of us to recommend u a built and if u are scared im pretty sure some of us here are willing to do everything for abit of service charge

End of day there are pros and cons, if u still want pre built then look at aftershock, msi, asus or even lenevo since the games u playing not the most demanding......

you might want to consider going "hybrid".

Buy a prebuilt non-gaming desktop with a quadcore i5 and 8gb of ram. Then buy a gtx 1050ti and install inside.

At the low end of prebuilt desktops, prices actually very competitive, can even be close to self assembled. Further more these prebuilt desktop actually have decent PSUs.

Take a look at this dell

If you self assemble and include OS, can be close to $700 already.

Just make sure got enough space to install.

Gaming machine = DIY

spend more on GPU. The rest use the cheapest will do

unless TS knows what he is doing can somehow prevent voiding the warranty. if dunno, den it will void

TS might want to change out the psu if getting pre-built pc and putting in a GPU

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. Appreciate it! Think I'll go with aftershock for starters! By the way any reviews on that brand?

Upgrade to 16g ram though...
gfx maybe upgrade to the 6g version also.

It's weird that aftershock have more water cooling option than air for the CPU

Better selling point as most buyers will feel safer with water than air.

 

[jedi5diah]

we don't recommend prebuilt at HWZ lol...the purpose of it...

DIY is the way to go. You can choose the parts you want. Its not easy at first but you will get the hang of it eventually.

Thank you bros for all your contribution.

One last thing...should i invest in a gaming monitor? (Thinking of Acer pred, BenQ etc). Only qualm is i don't game very frequently anymore so kinda in a dilemma on whether is it even worth to invest in one. My current monitor is a 60Hz 24 inch Asus IPS monitor...Thanks!
