I'm trying to find a good entry level gaming PC :)

Hello, I'm new to PC gaming and I'm looking for a computer that is good for me to start on.  Now I've been looking around and I don't really know what I'm looking for.  
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/5689213.p?skuId=568...
That is the computer I was thinking of getting and then buying a new video card down the road.  But the thing is I need an expert's help :/ Please leave suggestions

Hey matbowen,
The big components I look for in a gaming PC are the processor speed, dedicated graphics card memory, and RAM.  The computer you linked clocks in at 3.4 GHz, Up to 4059MB video memory, and 10GB RAM. In this situation, the processor and the RAM are looking good but my concern is the little phrase "Up to" 4059MB video memory.  That typically means that memory is not dedicated (although the specs tab implies it) and how much you get varies from game to game.
If you're willing to front a bit more on the cost, this tower would suit your needs quite nicely in my opinion:
HP Pavilion h8-1234 
It has similar specs to the one you were looking at but offers 1GB dedicated graphics memory along with 4855MB of that shared memory power. This would be a great gaming computer to start out with and it should keep up with the newer games as well, although likely not at max settings.
Hope that helps!

  • MOVED: Entry-level GAMING motherboard – MSI Z97 GAMING 3

    This topic has been moved to User Reviews & Modding.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=181732.0

    I can't agree with the Subject "Entry-level". It's not quite entry level, as it gives us most of the features that MSI's highest end motherboards does too. Most entry level motherboards doesn't support crossfire.
    From my Z87G45 Gaming I can say that the sound is great, so in this case (z97) it should be a bit better, and I do believe it is 
    But then MSI made a good work, so if it is even that entry level, it looks more of higher end ones 
    MSI for the win

  • I'm trying to find a good app that I can use in my classroom for informal observations but can't find anything?

    I'm looking for an app that I can use in my class that can replace my anecdotal records. Basically, I'd like it to have a class list and when I click on students name, it gives me a variety of options for assessment. Can't seem to find anything that would do this? Any ideas?
    thanks\

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...

  • Still trying to find a good way of rotating an image for GUI

    All my efforts have rendered rotated images which have suffered greatly in quality, does anyone have any ideas?

    remember the aspect of the screen changes when you rotate, consequently you get squat images or elongations... rescale for the accurate aspect once you are done.

    I'm trying to find when I actually created an entry/event in my iCal.

    So you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud? That message sounds like you did not. Are you using the same Apple ID used in Settings>iCloud on the iPod?
    - To find wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?
    The drivers that shipped with Win 8 are pretty out of date (and buggy).

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

    You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)

  • PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE

    Alright guys, I have been through 3 different plugs to connect my iphone to my car to play music, and I am a bit ticked. So i figured I would ask the Apple Discussion Boards so you guys can tell me the best audio/charger combo for my iPhone. Here is what happened with each of my previous plugs...
    The first one was just a regular ordinary headphone plug that plugged from my iphones headphone slot to my car's auxiliary slot. It worked for a while but then the audio only started coming out through the right side of my car speakers occasionally, and I know for sure it is not my car that made the problem because my radio and CD's play fine through both speakers.
    The second one is a "Kensington LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod and iPhone". First off the remote that it came with didn't work properly. But here comes the worse part that is so annoying. This problem got progressively worse by the way.... a lot of times the plug would think that it unplugged itself for some strange reason and the music would stop as well as the charging, but then 1 millisecond later it would think it was plugged back in, and although it starts charging again, the music doesn't play again until I press play. Don't tell me to make sure it is plugged in securely because trust me my friends, I have tried everything possible to get this to work. Keep in mind I am driving...so it is a very bad idea to be messing with my phone to press the play again. And lately it has been getting so bad that I actually have to unplug the plug from my iphone and then plug it back in and press play, which is incredibly annoying. This happens about once a minute OR MORE now a days. Also, it makes a really annoying "whirrling" sound whenever I am using it. By the way, I even turned Airplane mode on, and the exact same problems still happened. So a summary of this: this audio/charger combo is a failure.
    My 3rd plug I decided to try a normal headphone to aux plug again like the first except this time by a better brand, Griffin. But oh wait, the exact same problem happened that the first one had.
    Ok guys, so what I really want for you to do for me is PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE.
    Here is what I am looking for in my plug:
    Plays music through my car's speakers AND charges at the same time;
    I would prefer if it wasn't an FM transmitter because those tend to lose audio quality compared to direct plugins, unless you know of an amazing FM transmitter where you don't lose audio quality;
    And finally, I want my plug to ACTUALLY WORK WITHOUT GLITCHES
    Also, it would be nice if the plug that you refer to me, you actually own, so I know that you have tested it out before and that it works great.
    Any HELP would be very much appreciated, thank you.

    i thought about going the same route you did, but when I started looking at the prices of everything, I decided it was a better idea to just get a new stereo that can play and charge my iPhone.
    After a lot of comparing, looking and price checking, I decided to go with the Alpine IDA-X100. This is a media player only device (no cd player built in) and it has been great. It has an awesome interface and dial setup that let's you go through your music just as if it were on an iPod. It even has a small color screen that displays the album artwork for you. My car has a factory BOSE system in it and the Alpine head unit even managed to improve the sound quality. Go see you local alpine dealer (or best buy) and check it out. The supplied cable charges the phone and plays music too. Your iPhone will give you an error message when you plug it in, saying that the accessory was not designed for iPhone, but if you just click no it works great.

  • Where might I find a good tutorial on creating an HTML-5 based extension for Flash Pro CC?

    I have extension builder 3 installed in eclipse and it appears to be working like normal. I'm able to create a new extension builder project. I need help taking the next steps.
    Previously in extension builder 2.1 and Flash Builder 4.6 it auto-created the .mxml and .as files for me so all I had to do was insert a bit of jsfl into the as script section and save and could see it show up as a panel in my Flash Pro panels menu. With EB3 I can't really tell what it's doing and am unsure on how to continue, are there any boiler plate files available I can plug in? I want to start simple and add a button, a bit of jsfl, and progress but can't seem to get past installing eb3. Any help or tutorials available? Thanks

    Barnes & Noble is an excellent source of knowledge; I often end up there with a notebook and a pen myself. It is true though, sometimes trying to find information about programming can be an obscured journey; there are often times when something so simple, if explained better would have saved hours of trial and error. I don't think there's a person on this forum that hasn't experienced this exact scenario, and probably more than once.
    As unfortunate as it is, this is the way it is, programmers don't always make the best writers. Assumptions are made and people don't always have the time to write out all the specific details of a how-to, but in a way you have to learn to read through that. If you're interested in really learning how to program in any language, I can't think of a better way to learn it. When you read a snippet of code and it doesn't work, the only thing you can do is figure out why it doesn't work or to abandon the code and move on. As harsh as this is, it can really help improve your knowledge; it forces you to really understand the tool(s) you're using and once you understand it, you start to progress much faster.
    I know you were probably were wanting more of a straight-forward answer, but I think it's important to know that we all have and still go through the same sort of frustrations.My suggestion is to find a site, book, a user group, or a class that teaches you what you need to know, and in a way that makes sense to you. Here are some resources you might want to check out. Good luck.

    My iPad is listed but cannot be located now because it is not connected to Internet
    I have option to lock the iPad in lost mode If I do that I fear that will make it impossible for the iPad to go online and thus Renee the application to find it useless Please advise

    You cannot lock or find the device until it comes online. You can schedule a lock sequence to be sent once the device is online. That's it. Furthermore, if whoever finds the device completely erases it, then even when it comes online you will not be able to track it.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Going nuts....trying to find a song on itunes

    I dont know how often anyone has run into this but for me its a first.
    I am trying to find the 2004 self titled Probot album with the hidden track called "I am the warlock".
    Its a side project (even tried searching the "side projects" section) band of Dave Grohl and it had some of the biggest names in metal all together. So its not like its some obscure metal band from norway.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction to locate this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Didnt mean to cause any confusion with the "norway" referense. I was kind of being sarchastic with the "norway" thing. The band was put together by Dave Grohl(sp) who was the drummer for Nirvana and had Lemmy from Motorhead and people from Corrosion of conformity, DRI, King Diamond etc. VERY big names in the metal industry. Supprising that I cant find it on iTunes. Maybe since there were so many people involved there could be an agreement on letting a license out or something. Who knows. Depressing though, its a good album for metal heads.
    Thanks for your efforts.
