Switching to PC for 19

[W1der]

A lot of good information in this topic.
This could/should have been in the technical support part of the forum ...

For FS15 there was a "benchmark feature" ... anyone else besides me that wants this back for FS19?

[Smith Modding]

I don't remember that feature, but I'd sure like to have it. It'd be nice to have at least

Not that easy when you are on a budget. We are lucky to be able to get a computer at all. So i will take a gaming laptop over nothing at all

If you're looking at spending £1,500 on a laptop then I'd buy a desktop, use the TV as a monitor if you want to save a bit, and get a smaller cheaper laptop for your wife. For that sort of budget you'd easily be able to get a strong gaming desktop (even with a dedicated monitor) and a decent budget laptop (£350-450 or so for 1080p).

Gaming laptops 99% of time are horrible for anything non-gaming - they're usually hot, very loud, heavy, have terrible battery life, often a short life due to the heat, and are generally rubbish at everything but gaming (and even there they're gimped compared to a desktop). You really don't want to be spending £1,500 on a gaming laptop with a 1-year warranty!

This is very true, and if you build your own you can save even more, well so people tell me...

I havent got the first clue as to bow to build my ow. Computer. Although i am trying to get the wife to go along with a desktop

Apparently its not that hard, my friend said it only takes a little bit (1-2 hours). Personally I think the hardest part is getting all the correct parts.

Has anyone used ibuypower.com for purchasing a new gaming computer?

[j_maybury]

If you are thinking of a DIY build you will find there are some good tutors On YouTube, to help you build your own PC. Don't go with people like Jay's two cents or Linus tech-tips, as they go way over the top with stupid and unnecessary stuff like liquid coolants and RGB all over the case. Try someone like Carey Holzman.

I went with CyberPower PC. Picked mine up for $800 and runs the game great.

How does this look for a computer? Is this overdoing it to run fs basically just wanna have a computer for general stuff plus the option to play fs on it.

If your budget can push it, get the PC I have ( in the link I provided in a previous post) as it is an absolute bargain for the price.

Ok thanks will look into that one some more
