What desktop to buy?

Right i'm basically sick of consoles and would like to move my gaming to computer gaming how ever my current laptop could not handle the games i want to play on low settings let alone high.

If anyone knows any desktops which can handle games like skyrim on high settings could you please post a link here. I'm uselss at this and i dont know what computers are good enough.

I'm looking at pre-built desktops as i really don't have the time or knowledge to build one i know it works out cheaper but id rather just buy a ready to go out of the box one.

I'd like to try to keep it under £1000 the cheaper the better but would not want to give up lots of quality just to save a couple hundred £

Any help appreciated ​

 

I'll work out something for you in a bit.

Rest assured you'll get a good computer

Thank you symphony888 for taking the time to help me out i wouldnt of known where to start if i tried alone i didnt want to just buy one incase i got it wrong

 

Since you prefer the Pre-Made, you can go for the one I pasted, that is decent enough + the graphics card I state. It can go High / Very High in Skyrim for sure.

 

The one you linked is a newegg combo and it's a build combo. It isn't a pre-built system. Newegg allows you to get items in a bundle to some money.

 

Well it close to similar besides the price is reasonable and it is quite good already. He said he doesn't need a really good computer.
And also, the pre-built ones are horrible.

 

You're completely ignoring his requirements then. He said he doesn't have the time or knowledge to build a desktop.



As for OP, if you don't have the time to build a desktop, that's fine. But if you are doing it out of the lack of knowledge, we can help you build it. It doesn't require that much computer knowledge and there is tons of help and guides out there (including video guides).

 

Would love to see your "help" though rather than flaming people around

 

Draucia is right, the Newegg combos just let you buy a some hardware but, they don't build it for you, you can see some combos are just a few components, that can't build a PC alone, and it's not even close to a pre-built, since a pre-built comes built.

OP, it's not hard to build a PC, I recently bought one and I regret it, should've built it, it's really fun.
If you get stuck here or there, watch Newegg's/Linus'/Logan's/Austin's guide on youtube, or just Google your problem.
