n00b question about pre-built PC

[tonyx617]

Hey yalls. I was looking into getting a computer for everyday use really, but with a little extra power for gaming. Came across these on amazon. Just looking to play games like the sims and zoo simulation games, and PalWorld. Thanks in advance guys!

I would get the Skytech one as it has an actual GPU in it, the Acemagic relies on the intel igpu, not a lot of room to add a card to it either - https://www.acemagic.com/collection...ts/acemagic-ad08-intel-core-i9-11900h-mini-pc - if its case was bigger it would have been a better choice.

More likely to be able to play more games on Skytech one. Might need to add more ram at some stage.

Ugh there's so much! Haha upon further research I came across this one as well. And it's cheaper then the others. Input? Thanks so much for responding. This truly seems like it's a lot of work and i just don't know where to turn too so your input is greatly appreciated!

that looks okay, GPU is better than the one in Skytech and you get more ram. I can't tell what CPU it has apart from its speed. Should be enough to play the games you play.

might want to get a different mouse/Keyboard at some stage as its unlikely to be a good one. Hard to say as they have that mouse on all their systems https://www.amazon.com/stores/STGAubron/page/BD7A013A-9CF7-4440-B750-7CAF972A2D61?ref_=ast_bln

Yeah, from some reviews on YouTube, they say to give the accessories to your kids 😆 ill end up using my old wireless keyboard and mouse. Thanks for your feedback man, it's greatly appreciated! Def made this easier for me.

I learned there is such a thing as Bluetooth RGB soundbars... I wouldn't expect it sounds amazing... hence the RGB. It is camouflage for bad gear, and its not that expensive by itself.

"16 GB DDR3"

Is DDR3 good enough these days? I wouldn't have thought so.

You might have avoided some trouble by not getting that one. I saw case in video and thought... I have seen that recently.

It'll be fine. Nothing about it is ideal. The whole thing, including mouse and keyboard, costs $439. I'm much more concerned about the 11 year old i7. Palworld, which he mentions, is a massive, open-world game. The graphics aren't demanding, but it works the CPU pretty good. The CPU came out in 2013, and Dying Light came out between one and two years later, so maybe it's okay, but that game still had a couple of loading screens in its massive world.
