Discover the best pre-built gaming desktops in the world. Which one would you choose?
As a PC gamer, you must have already noticed the clear distinction between playing a game on a console and playing the same on a gaming rig. At ultra-high settings, it is pretty easy to spot the graphical superiority that a decent gaming desktop holds over the consoles. Here we are going to take a look at the top of the ladder, pre-built gaming desktops. Keep in mind that each of these desktops offer a ton of customizations while ordering but we are going to check out the basic ones and a look at little into the available customizations. Also, we are not sticking to any fixed price range. Here is the list of Best gaming PCs in no particular order:
15-Lenovo Erazer X700
Lenovo Erazer X700
If this epically designed cabinet case doesn't impress you, I don't know what can?
- Processor and Motherboard: This monstrous looking desktop is powered by 2nd generation Intel core i7-3970x or i7-3820 processor (3.5GHz) which can be overclocked (to about 3.8GHz) with a single button click. The system is liquid cooled to prevent the heating up of the computer when overclocked.Graphics: This desktop can support up to 3 displays with the NVidia GeForce GTX 660 as the graphics card.This system also comes with AMD Radeon HD 8950 3GB (dual cards).
- RAM: The system is equipped with 12GB DDR3 RAM which can be upgraded up to 32GB (Quad-Channel).
- Storage and Optical Drives: It is also packed with 1TB HDD (which can be upgraded up to 4TB) with an additional 128GB SSD in tandem. It also comes with a DVD burner and a 7.1 surround sound support.
- Price: The basic version of the Erazer X700 starts at $1699 and the cost goes up with better memory specs and GPUs. With the intimidating design and the great performance parameters, this computer would be a pretty good choice for gaming.
The ultimate chassis design of Lenovo Erazer X700 makes it worth its price
The main issues with this computer are the mid-ranged GPU and the unruly wiring inside the cabinet. The GTX 660 is a much lower end Graphic card when compared to the 980s that are generally used in gaming rigs. But keeping the cost of the entire system in mind, this decision to go with the 660 sounds pretty reasonable. The second issue was that Lenovo was not able to making the interiors as pleasing to the eye as the exterior casing. Being a gamer myself, I have been through countless scenarios where I had to open up the case and work with the insides of my computer and the cluttered wiring of this computer doesn't make my job any easier.
14-Alienware Alpha

Since I live in Venezuela, and the minimun salary here is 63$ I would be able to buy an Alienware area 51 in about 6 years without spending not even a penny of my mothly wages.
