Reddit mentions of CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR Ready GXiVR8020A3 Desktop Gaming PC (Intel Quad Core i5-7400 3.0GHz, AMD RX 580 4GB Graphics, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 802.11AC WIFI, Win 10 Home), Black - Discontinued by Manufacturer

I was able to get out the door under $800 because I had a lot of stuff to trade in, which brought down the price of this desktop by about $350 for me. I got lucky in that sense.

But even at the standard price of that desktop (the RX480 would work with VR fine from whatever everyone has said btw, so you don't need to go with the RX580) that's still not awful. If you pay full-price for that PC and buy the Rift on sale right now you're going to pay $1100.

Sure. Got it from Amazon. It looks like it's currently out of stock, so you may want to shop around or find another one with similar specs. But this is the one I got. Completely happy with it, although I could do without all those red lights. Tend to leave the PC on overnight, and was worried that they'd keep me awake, but it's fine. Just took a bit of getting used to. :)

For Dolphin, CPU (processor) matters more than the GPU (graphics card). Ideally, you could get a desktop with a high end CPU and a low-mid end GPU for the best results for the price.

This should be ideal for your price range: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-GXiVR8060A2-Desktop-i5-7400-7200RPM/dp/B01MT0781S/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1503301433&sr=1-8&keywords=gaming+desktop

This one is a little cheaper, can't vouch for AMD GPUs on Dolphin though: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-GXiVR8020A3-Desktop-Graphics-802-11AC/dp/B071NG75BW/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1503301433&sr=1-5&keywords=gaming+desktop

A bit big but had it for awhile, runs everything well. Only thing that stuggled at urtra quality was Titanfall 2 due to 4gb vram. You could get the RX 580 8gb version instead of 4gb version if that's a concern.

I'm not sure cause the pc is coming in the mail on thurs and I was just making sure my monitor would work with it. It's my first pc and am really not to fond of computer parts. Heres the link to it if you want to check it out.pc

What I did was buy the $700 Cyberpowerpc deal on Amazon, and upgrade components when I have the money/time.

I bought this same build, but with last gen components ( mine was i5 6400 and AMD RX 480). It's an awesome computer that plays VR at default settings.

Here another prebuilt for good measure

Looking for a gaming PC to power my TV in the living room. I know I could build one for cheaper; I don't want to. I just want something that works, and someone I can call if there is a problem. It's worth an extra couple hundred for me. Or, if you have another suggestion in this price range. Thanks!

¿Por qué el Ryzen 5 1600? ¿Piensas crear contenido, hacer streaming o algo que ocupe tantos núcleos?, Porque la verdad si solo lo piensas usar para jugar, te conviene mejor comprar un i3 7100 o un i5 7400.

Otra cosa realmente la quieres armar, es un poco tedioso e incluso difícil si no tienes experiencia. Te podría salir mas barato comprar una pc ya armada:

PC Connected to TV Through HDMI; Sides are cut off


New to AMD, I do not have the TV remote, My old PC with Nvidia never had this problem.
So basically I plug in my HDMI to my TV and PC, corners are cut off, and I find a setting in AMD Radeon settings called 'HDMI Scaling' I use it.. it works, BUT, my frames get capped at 30 fps from 60. I'm wondering if AMD has a feature or something like with what Nvidia has where you can adjust desktop and screen settings with a custom resolution by dragging the bars until the screen fit perfectly rather than the HDMI scaling because it just lowers my computers' framerate. Thanks.
Additional Question is AMD Radeon settings and Catalyst Control the same thing? I only have Radeon settings installed.
Also, if its needed, this is the PC that I have, just got it yesterday but unable to use due to this issue: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-GXiVR8020A3-Desktop-Graphics-802-11AC/dp/B071NG75BW/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/138-2920635-5744231?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=dp_ob_neva_mobile

If you would be interested in building a PC to get more bang for your buck go to /r/buildapc and ask them to make a build for you. Otherwise id recomend this or maybe this prebuilt PC, they would be more than enough to run Overwatch around the highest settings at 1080p.

Ok, so the most upvoted comment is definitely really useful. But this is a 719.99 PC which will run most games at ultra 60fps at 1080p. Unfortunately, i have the old version of this pc, but this one is an upgraded version and is much better than mine. Its a pre-built, but the value is a lot cheaper than you building the pc yourself.

Please consider taking a look at it. You definitely wont be disappointed with it.

The build u/Ryan_JK posted is a solid deal. This one would be slightly better since it comes with WiFi, but it is out of stock.

Actually im sorry but i cant, want me to send you the link of the pc?

You can get a PC that can play any game in existence for $700. The vast majority of them on high or even ultra graphics, on most monitors, including yours. If league is your main game, even on max graphics settings, you will see literally no difference whatsoever between this and a $700 PC like this one: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-GXiVR8020A3-Desktop-Graphics-802-11AC/dp/B071NG75BW/ref=dp_ob_title_ce?th=1

This is the build you get if you want to play every possible game simultaneously on 3 4k displays for the next several years. Even then, you only need a CPU strong enough to make full use of the graphics card. Any more is a waste for gaming. And very few games will see a significant benefit, from more than 8 gb of ram.

If your education and bills are being entirely paid for by someone else, go ahead. If not, this seems like an incredibly wasteful purchase.

I didnt have a choice but gor this prebuilt

The challenges I faced was mainly the cost of trying to get a gaming PC and the goal I am aiming next is playing good AAA games at high quality and without lagging.

This is not a bad deal if you want to save money. Also saves another $85 for Windows.

Getting a laptop for gaming is legit pointless unless you can not fit a system in your house:this is $200 more but its recommended

If you can get a desktop then what most people recommend is this + acer monitor
