Evening all,
I am looking to buy a gaming desktop to upgrade from the HP Envy laptop that I am currently using. I'm just finding that some of the games I play need a bit more power than the laptop can give in order to play on the highest settings (in particular, Dragon Age Inquisition - specs as follows@
Recommended*:
OS: Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD six core CPU @ 3.2 GHz; Intel quad core CPU @ 3.0 GHz
System RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 or R9 270; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Graphics Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 26 GB
DirectX: 11
I've been playing around with builds, but I'm not too sure what goes with what (e.g. how much cooling for certain graphics cards, which power supply etc) but I do know enough that I know it won't work properly if I don't get the right combo! So some advice would be much appreciated.
I'd need a decent monitor, but already have a keyboard and mouse. Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
