Best gaming PC

Oh, I see. Well, most of the advice still applies, as most PC/electronics shops offer ready built gaming PCs for various purposes and budgets. It does pay to know what exactly you are looking for. So when you look at a selection look at the ones that have a better GPU in the price range that you are considering, etc. Some online shops have configurators where you can adjust your gaming PC to your needs and budget.

What country are you in? Or just goolge 'gaming pc online shop <your country>' and compare the results for price and quality of the components. In my country a ready built PC is about 500 USD or 400 EUR more expensive than the individual components separately. For my PC that would be about 1/3rd of the price. On the upside getting a ready-built PC you are guaranteed to get a nicely adjusted configuration and you don't have to wait for the individual shipments to arrive and it's probably easier in case something doesn't work too.

I'd go for a quality online shop with a good reputation in your country, not one that opened a few months ago. I wouldn't buy a gaming PC in a huge chain like Mediamarkt or Radioshack, but that's my personal preference.

Heres an example for a configurator in the UK

Most average computers are a couple of generations past the ones SH3 was designed for. Pretty much any PC you buy today ("Gaming" or not) will be more than enough to run a thirteen-year-old game. My Lenovo laptop runs it just fine with all the bells and whistles turned on.

I recently purchased an Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop in anticipation of the release of the game Uboot. The Uboot Devs told me that I would see great results at the highest settings on this Laptop. Plenty of gaming power at a great price. You can get if for about $800. I'm currently playing SHIII on it and it plays perfectly.

Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" Full HD, Intel Core I7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1060-6GB, VR Ready.

Dont go for an alienware except if you like to pay something more then the normal price.

You will economize a lot if you select each composant your self, you can ask the shop to build your pc if you dont want to do that your self, but lol avoid alienware really.

Processor >>> i5K is enough.
Graphic card well ...... Nvidia for sure.
Mother board >>> Asus.

At least 8 giga of memory ................ Et voila.

When you Buy a new pc you want the best bang for your buck going to your local electrical retailer will have off the shelf Factory built offerings may have a 1050 gtx a 1060 gtx but the other components like the mother board will probably be the cheapest one that will accommodate a 1050 gtx 1060gtx and PSU power supply will bargain basement just enough to run the pc
there must be a dedicated PC outlet that builds them where you can tell them your budget and work with you to get you the best rig for your budget
also good gaming pc companies like CCL based in Bradford UK offer three years collect and return waranty inc parts n labour on all there pc builds and off the shelf pre built ones too
