Computer Should i use

[Nick201]

what is a descent computer that should run this game with ease, and should it be a laptop or desktop or should i build one?

You can find the minimum requirements/recommended here. Building a computer can be fun, and there are plenty of super smart people here that can help you, but as long as you have something that fits in the reqs you should be fine.

I recommend building one. It's so much fun and you can save a bargain by doing so. Just do your research first before you buy anything and try to buy parts at your local micro center or computer store so if you need to return parts it will be easy and you wont have to deal with shipping, waiting, etc.

Same here, if you have the skills (and they don't have to be hugh), build one of your own.

Just aim at least for anything that goes above the required specs of the game (min specs i would not even look at) to have a bit of performance space for future upgrades of the game.

Build it yourself, it'll save you some money. I built the system in my sig back in June for $1538. I could build a better one and probably even cheaper.

Yes, build your own is always better for top performance in gaming..off the shelf computers is for bookworms/accountants...

 

Gaming/Simulations are very demanding on your system...and off the shelf are really not designed for this..so building is the best and only option..on the other hand you do/will get lucky from time to time with a off the shelf system but I wouldn't recommend it..:thumbup:

 

A good example is " Alienware " they made the best systems around for " Gaming/Simulations " until " Dell " got their hands into the mix...now you get a watered down version of the original..

And if you think that self building ain't for you, look for computershops who let you choose your own components which are then build by the store for a small fee.

If you stumble on a good store, they might even bring their own experience in on combining components (but for the same money, they just sell you what they have on their shelve at that point so you have to know a bit of the hardware to discuss "options" if they offer any).

Indeed, building a computer is not difficult:
