Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone I need some advice on purchasing a prebuilt computer, my friend wants to purchase one that can comfortably run GW2 on ultra from hopefully bestbuy.com. Any advice would be great!

Don’t buy from best buy, they’re not the best buy at all. Build your own or configure one at something like ecollegepc.com unless you’re willing to wait for a good sale on a prebuilt (which happen on occasion, but somewhat rarely).

Do not buy a prebuilt computer from a shop. Not only are they made with crappy and inferior parts, but they are way over priced. Save your money and your heart, learn how to build a computer yourself. Or look at the many setups on Youtube for gaming rigs that you can also follow. They show you full guides on setup and installation, as well as which parts you need for the build, and the required tools to use. Please consider which one you want to do, and then post here back in this thread, and we will try and assist you.

As said by the good folks here.

Pre-build PCs are stupidly priced because you’re paying a huge premium for someone put 10 components into a case.

It’s essentially as easy as building a Lego car,maybe more so.

I wouldn’t say it’s as easy as building a lego. I have a friend who puts mine together and usually watch to learn. I think I have the bascis down but when it comes to the BIOS I won’t touch anything.

I’m afraid of screwing it up.

But yeah…if you can avoid pre-built, do so. It’s worth it.

Just grab your smart phone, open browser, and while in the computer’s bios, read up on the features you see that you don’t get. You will learn a lot about your computer, and soon will be the master of the bios. Usually motherboards these days have safety features in place that stop you from blowing your computer up. If you run into trouble and it can’t boot, just reset the cmos, either with a push of the cmos button, or trigger the jumper pins by putting a screwdriver between while the system is powered down, but not turned off at the wall. Don’t clear the cmos when the system is running.
