Thanks Raye, those computers look like they can get the job done for me. They seem to meet my requirements

You're very good at explaining things. I figured out a few things.

I was wondering why I have inconsistent game speeds, for example, game runs faster when I look at the ground and lags when I look at trees and buildings and stuff.

More Reviews and Cheaper all three are decently good for Entry PC Gamers. TO be honest I know the 500 buck system would run up to about 560-580 for purchasing after tax and shipping. But it does have DDR4, which is better than DDR3. Cheaply DDR3 brings up that bill for the buck, but everything is moving over to DDR4 just very slowly. Eventually machines using the next gen RAM will be much more viable and cheaper not only in quantity, but also quality.

It takes more power from your computer to render things like Tree´s buildings and other things then it does to render in empty space , which is why when you look up or at the ground you will notice a higher framerate.

I think both are fine enough for me lol I have a much more knowledgeable friend who is better at computers but doesn't play games, I'll use these computers as a reference.  :)

Thanks, seems video game  graphics are more dynamic than I thought. When I'm not looking at things, I guess they are not rendered.

Anybody here know what 60 fps means? Is that 100% speed of a game?

Not a 100% speed of a game, it means 60 Frames Per Second as a few of us slightly mentioned that one earlier.

FPS is frames per second. It's the rate the computer can create and display a new image. 60 is sufficiently fast that most people will not detect a flicker in the image though a few might.

Also as Dena elaborated a bit more. If you ever come across wanting to make videos and record live video. Get a separate Hardisk. This happens even on SSD's where you will see lagging parts on the disk because the system is writing + reading itself constantly. The Second disk insures that kind of stuff not to happen because your using it as a storage device vs. the OS Disk. Always easier to write to and from something that's not in charge of your disk, fewer active connections being handled at once.

Thank you all for the help.

I have to sometimes Google stuff cause I haven't really heard things like ssd before. I don't know how many hardisks I have. But recording video games is such a cool thing, it's something I'd like to do for myself,

It's such a cool new pc, I want to learn more about it, I think it's running games on high, but I don't know much else.

I'm glad someone donated a system to you. That's a real friend + I never had anyone like that before so your sooo lucky! Cherish the system and your friend greatly! ^^

I will!

Did some research and found out my computer is fairly Powerful, I'm very lucky.
I almost don't know what to do, getting used to Windows 10,

playing tomb raider, I ran out of ammo, I might have to start the game over.

IF you ever decide to play Runescape lemme know I wouldn't mind playing with you and talking to you on Skype. ^^
