Reddit mentions of [Ryzen & GTX 1050 Ti Edition] SkyTech Archangel Gaming Computer Desktop PC Ryzen 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, 8GB DDR4 2400, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, Wi-Fi USB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit

At least a GTX 1050, would be better if you could go for a GTX 1050 Ti. At least 8GB of ram. An i5 processor should be more than enough too, unless you're planning to play other games... but even then, it probably could get by but if it's just Sims 4 you're playing, you'll have no problem.

Other than the GTX 1050, if you're not bothered by the amount of vram, the GTX 1060 3GB is another choice. But just for The Sims 4, 3GB Vram is more than enough, but it also doesn't hurt to go for the 6GB because it's more future proof.

I currently have the GTX 1660, and it performs closely to the GTX 1070. That is another good card for a reasonable price. It also just came out this year.

Any of these specs should be able to run The Sims 4 on High/Ultra settings with most/all expansions/games/stuff packs

Your best bet is the first one

I don't know much about AMD so don't come for me sksks. But I think the RX 570 and RX 580 are close in performance to the GTX 1060/GTX 1660 and they're a lot more affordable compared to Nvidia, so you might want to look at that too.

The AMD Ryzen 3 2100 is more of a budget processor, it would play The Sims 4 fine, but if you're wanting to play other more demanding games too, look elsewhere.

1Tb HDD of space is the minimum I'd recommend. I've had The Sims 4 on an HDD before eventually switching it to my SSD and I haven't noticed much of a loading time difference, so it probably doesn't matter. But SSD would've made a huge difference in The Sims 3.

If it helps, these are my specs: it runs like a dream, and mind you I have like 20gb of CC.

Intel i7-8700 3.2GHz

16GB Ram

120GB SSD + 1TB HDD + 500GB External SSD

GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked 6GB

I'd say it's a bit overkill *just* for The Sims 4, but I do run other games as well.

I'm not too knowledgeable, but I know a few basics. I hope that gives you somewhat of an idea. Hopefully someone who knows their stuff can chim in too :) good luck. I could be wrong in a few spots.

The issue is LAN cafes always fail, look at the data from the past 10 years. Everyone has their own PC at home capable of playing all modern games. A $600 PC will get you there. They serve no purpose.

This is a good deal at the moment especially for a medium end build. The system is fully modular and uses no generic components (all known brands). Currently peice by peice costs more to build yourself. Good to consider.

Feel free to ask for further information. I'm not sure how knowledgeable you are in computing hardware or expected performance in games.

It's not terrible from specs alone, but I'd expect a lot better for the price. Let's compare:

CPU:

• Amazon $650 build (1200): Last generation 1000 series Ryzen. 4 core with 4 threads. Minimum expected multi-tasking capabilities. Current 2018 games will need to run at low-medium quality.
  
• My $480 build (2400G): Current generation 2000 series Ryzen. 4 core with 8 threads. Current 2018 games will need to run at low, or medium quality with a dedicated graphics card (like the 1050 Ti).
  
• My $600 build (2600): Current generation 2000 series Ryzen. 6 core with 12 threads. Near top-tier level performance for a relatively cheap price. Able to run 2018 games smoothly. Future-proofed for multi-threaded applications, for example, applications that require processing of statistics, data, video editing/encoding, 3D rendering (eg. architectural design, game/film artwork), creating applications (programming), and multi-tasking.
  
  None of these builds will have problems running "e-sports" games like League of Legends, Overwatch, Dota 2, Counter Strike, or similar games. Even in current games, the 1200(+1050Ti) and the 2400G will run similarly. However, current Triple-A games like Battlefield V, Black Ops 4, Hitman 2 and Assassin's Creed are already struggling on 4 core CPUs, and this is especially true for the $650 Amazon CPU which is only 4 cores and 4 threads. My build's $480 2400G has 4 cores and 8 threads. If the 2400G is upgraded with the 1050 Ti, then it would run at medium, and possibly with a bit higher performance than the 1200. However at this price, it would be better to get my recommended $600 build, with 6 cores and 12 threads. Although simplified, think of it this way: each CPU thread can handle one task at a time. Processing speed per thread is also important. See 1200 vs 2400, and 2400 vs 2600. Although the $650 and $480 builds will be able to still complete multi-threaded tasks like the $600 build, it will take more time to do so, and the computer may not be usable in certain circumstances until the processing is complete.
  
  GPU:
  
• Amazon $650 build (1050ti): Good entry level graphic card.
  
• My $480 build (2400G): Acceptable entry level graphic card.
  
• My $600 build (1050ti): Good entry level graphic card.
  
  Although the $650 build has a good graphics card, the reason it may not be able to perform at its best is because the CPU is rather weak. The computer CPU needs to communicate to the GPU to process the game's graphics, and if the GPU is waiting for the CPU to handle that task, the GPU will freeze up momentarily. For e-sports games and basic games, the $650 and $480 build should perform almost the same. However, once the $480 build is upgraded in the future with a dedicated graphics card (as simple as sliding a connector into place and screwing in a panel), it's performance will rise a little above, especially in newer games. With my $600 build, it is safe to say that the CPU will not at all limit the GPU (or even the latest $600 GPUs) in newer games.
  
  Memory:
  
• Amazon $650 build: Minimum expected memory speed - slower 2400. Games may run ~10 FPS slower. In addition, according to the preview images, there is only one stick of memory (1x8) and not two (2x4). This is the number-one sin to avoid. CPUs require two sticks of memory in order to function at optimal speeds. Gaming performance may be reduced by 20-30 FPS which is huge.
  
• My $480 build: (Near) Optimal memory speed.
  
• My $600 build: (Near) Optimal memory speed.
  
  Storage:
  
• Amazon $650 build: No SSD. Only HDD.
  
• My $480 build: SSD and HDD.
  
• My $600 build: SSD and HDD.
  
  The SSD (solid state drive, or the "adata" branded drive in my builds) is completely optional. However, installing Windows 10 to this drive will be worthwhile. The system will be considerably more responsive and faster, and load programs almost instantly.
  
  In regards to Windows, I believe it is still possible to use a windows 7 key to upgrade (despite Microsoft claiming to turn it off December last year). Otherwise, it is possible to install Windows 10 as an evaluation/trial copy, and even after the 30-120 day period, it will continue to function and receive updates like the paid version. However, the trial version will limit customization of the desktop wallpaper/colors (but other programs can override this).

For CSGO 60-70FPS in 1080p you don't need much firepower at all and something like this one on sale today would do:
https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-ArchAngel-Gaming-Computer-Quad-Core/dp/B077QDM2DP/

But if you def want to spend your 900-1000 then these are also on sale today and worth considering IMO:
https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-Blaze-Gaming-Computer-Desktop/dp/B07RL4K6CN/
https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-Shiva-Gaming-Computer-Desktop/dp/B07RPCG8ZW/

I found this one listed at 599$ (it might be more expensive without amazon prime)

https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-ArchAngel-Gaming-Computer-Quad-Core/dp/B077QDM2DP/ref=lp_565098_1_14?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1564332983&sr=1-14

You can find others for 500$ but many of them don't have graphic cards, if you are just playing LoL or Dota 2 you don't need one but if you are playing anything a little newer spending the extra 100$ is worth it to get a graphic card

So i found another offer, is this any better? (yes i know building myself is best option but I am working over the summer to save up for this so I wont have the time to assemble it even if I do save up enough) This one is cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QDM2DP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Could someone take a look at these 2 PCs and tell me which is the better deal? I've been pouring over the specs trying to decide what the differences are and I'm not able to come up with a decision.

But I'd recommend reposting here a day or two before you buy for potentially better deals.

Very cool! Thank you so much, would I be better off building vs buying complete at the same price point. Like would the 600 dollar build you put together be better than something like this?

[Ryzen & GTX 1050 Ti Edition] SkyTech ArchAngel Gaming Computer Desktop PC Ryzen 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, 8GB DDR4 2400, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, Wi-Fi USB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QDM2DP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_J1f.Bb303ST2K

Here's 2 you can choose:

Skytech

Cyberpower

Skytech is Ryzen + 1050 Ti and Cyber is Intel + RX 580 4G. In terms of performance wise, Cyber will be better because 580 4G > 1050 Ti, but of course, slightly more expensive.

Overall internal parts use, Skytech > cyber because Skytech uses better power supply, memory, and etc.

Both can play almost any games in the market at 1080p high to ultra setting. Both system will be able to handle Minecraft for sure.

You can also wait till BF/CM which is next month, I'm sure you can pick one of these PC up for $50-$100 less.

Is the pc you picked out better than this pc that was suggested in another comment?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QDM2DP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_K4uUBbJ4CGEY7

I didnt see ssd on it though. What is an ssd?

That link has a Ryzen 3 1200 / 1050Ti, not a Ryzen 5 2600, and $871.37 doesn't seem right. It should be ~$650: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QDM2DP/

> My friend's coworker is planning to give a gift for my friend but he doesn't know what to give him but knows he is a gamer. I suggested the SkyTech ArchAngel Gaming Computer Desktop PC as it's in his price range ($600) and appears to be the best option. Is there anything better than this at a cheaper price if possible or gamer gift alternatives? I know custom built is better than prebuilt but we are pretty strapped for time and just don't have the time to research on how to do it and it's highly likely he won't be willing to build it as he is pretty busy.

Spend the extra 20 to 50 dollars for the version with Ryzen. The ryzen (am4 motherboards) are good for upgrading later. you will basically have the newest generation. i promise its worth the money.

That's atleast significantly better, but still not the best and overpriced imo

I don't know anything about many of the abbreviations you're using. I just did a youtube video search of this cpu/gpu combo and saw him playing pubG fairly smoothly. Thought I'd go with this.

How about this one instead?

https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-ArchAngel-Gaming-Computer-Quad-Core/dp/B077QDM2DP/ref=pd_sbs_147_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=J7YKZ35ND9JSMYE3C9H9

Ok so I looked around a little bit an if you can throw in a max of $100 in, you can get decent performance in most modern games if you adjust the settings. I tried to not go too much over the prices you gave me so I stuck with $700 being the max with more current parts in case you want to upgrade down the road.

I would not recommend any card under 2GB VRAM since PUBG and other modern games eat it up, so I looked at 4GB versions. I also looked for CPUs that are quad-core and can push around 3.5GHz, and tried to find a min of 2400mhz 8GB RAM. Unfortunately gaming desktops under $700 do not come with an SSD so these have a HDD of 7200rpm, which is not too bad but its still slow.

Amazon 1

Amazon 2

Newegg

Out of these 3, I would recommend the SkyTech.

Edit: Also check out HP and if you can stretch $720, cyberpower

GTX 1050 is your best choice

Honestly his max is like 600 he’s not looking for like high end pc or anything just something that can D2 on a low setting, would something like this work? Razen PC

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QDM2DP?aaxitk=dQkKrBr-91eCtj9QdIBz6A&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

What about this if I can get it for $540?
