Finally, a Mini ITX motherboard might seem like a poor choice for a gaming PC. After all, they are pricey and have limited RAM and only one PCIe slot. However, if you're going for small form factor, then there is no better option.

Mini-ITX PCs Generally Cost Less While it's still possible to trick out a Mini-ITX build with insanely expensive components and the latest designer case, the smaller physical dimensions and lessened complexity of the motherboard and case mean they're generally cheaper than their full-sized counterparts.

I've been looking at PCs for a while. The 700$ build that Digital Storm offer seems nice. The graphics card isn't good, but the build is easily upgradable and I don't want anything really powerful yet, just a good starter PC.

If it's the slim 250gb, there re no limitations, you can run originl xbox games on it. Any official MS 360 drive has backwards support included. And a 250 will probably be more then enough for your needs.

Yes, even those that demand a good desktop GPU. Currently I'm using Intel NUC8I7HVK as my home computer, including for playing games such as Civilization V. The GPU performance of the mini PC compares to Nvidia GTX 1060 which is pretty good. There are more and more mini PCs with a discrete GPU available each year.

Fortunately, mATX motherboards are perfect for budget-friendly gaming PCs, as they still have all of the main features that standard ATX motherboards have. The only real difference is that standard ATX motherboards offer better aesthetics, more PCIe slots, and beefier VRMs for overclocking.

Dell is no more good or bad for gaming then any other PC brand. ... If it is an actual gaming computer then it is good for gaming as it will have an i5 to i7 processor, decent dedicated graphics card, decent amount of memory and likely an SSD. What is not good for gaming is any desktop not specifically designed for gaming.

If you're building a gaming PC to play games like Minecraft and LOL (League of Legends), then an APU is a great buy, as it allows you to keep the costs of a build down dramatically. However, if you're trying to play triple A title games at anything higher than medium settings, then an APU is not for you.

Technically yes, but you would not want to play on one. Supercomputers tend to be high throughput but also high latency. You don't want latency in games (just imagine if it took a few seconds for the game to react to you moving or pressing a button).

The bottom line The question asked if the GTX 1050 is good for gaming. The answer is yes, surprisingly so, but also within certain boundaries. This is a budget GPU that delivers surprisingly good results in its 1050 or 1050 Ti form.

Short Answer Xeon CPUs are simply not worth it for gaming because they are extremely expensive, designed for demanding computing tasks, and have their own sockets. Ultimately, they are much more powerful than what is required by games, making them an overall bad investment for a gaming PC.

In short, you don't need a “Gaming” PC to play Games. ... If you are talking about only CPU and GPU against “Gaming” then its a different story. You might adjust with most of the average Quad Core CPUs but a GPU is the crucial part of gaming. You basically need a good enough GPU to run your games at acceptable FPS.

AsRock does make good stuff. They don't spend any excess money where they don't need to on their hardware. If you buy MSI/Gigabyte/ASUS there's usually a ton of free excess software and bonuses you get with their boards.

It is always our recommendation that you buy cases with a minimum of 3 fans (or at least slots for adding them yourself) for gaming systems, not counting the power supply, CPU, and GPU fans. I know we say this about a lot of things (especially power supplies), but you really don't want to skimp on cooling.

The ATX motherboard can fit as a good gaming motherboard if you are willing to pay more. It is more than capable of handling even the most demanding games out there. The ATX motherboard is also useful in handling high end and demanding office computer programs.

Gigabyte is not a bad brand at all- at least for motherboards. I almost purchased a Gigabyte video card a few months back but was not sure. I normally purchase HIS, XFX, or Sapphire graphics cards- sometimes ASUS. XFX was the best quality.
