Welcome to Daily Consumer Reviews. While there are many desktops. 3 Of them stand out. I will be showing you 3 different computers. They are top in their league. Some of them are cheap, while others expensive. If you would like to build you own computer please visit this blog. It show you which computer parts to choose from. There are all kinds of builds. Rage from $400-$1500. My recommendation is that you build your own computer as it is cheaper, but unless your a techy this would not be a good idea.
The first major computer is gaming computer. Yes. When you think of gaming computers you think of computers over $1000+. Yes, that is somewhat true if your doing intense gaming. But my $500 computer runs all the games smoothly. (that includes MW3, BF2, Skyrim etc.) The difference a $500 and $1000 computer is that you can run more games at the same time. Not saying that a $500 computer cant run many games, but it might struggle to get top performance for both games.
Now, for $530 this computer is a STEAL. It has 2.7 GHz processor which will allow you to run almost all games without overheating, crashing, or lag. Not only that it also has 8 GB ram which give you plenty of room to do other tasks on your computer while gaming. (Don't forget you can upgrade ram to 16 GB) It has 500 GB of storage which is not bad, but who uses more then 400 GB anyways. Not only that it has AMD Radeon HD 6450 1GB (VGA/ DVI/ HDMI) graphics card. This is a great graphics card. It will run all the games smoothly, and without a problem. It also supports HDMI so you play your games on highest quality. Not to mention a beautiful case with 3 FANS. One at the front, back, and top. This will surely keep your computer running cooler.
Okay, so you're a intense gamer. No problem, I got you covered. Now there are 3 computers that really stand out, they are roughly similar. Different prices, but better performance.
GHz, I would get i7-2700k and overclock it because it can take alot of heat because of its cooling system. There is not much to say, they all will give you a great gaming experience. They all great systems the $1500 one is the best because it has better graphics card, its more overclock friendly. It has a better motherboard etc.
It has performance, good editing software, good graphics. Everything you could want from a desktop besides Apple sucks at running games.

I love Macs because of their reliability and stability, as well as easy to use.
I got this iMac
MC309LL A
to upgrade my older iMac, and as usual, I knew I was
receiving more than just a desktop when I opened its box as it arrived
The
box was packed that we can easily pull our device easily out of the
packing box. What you will see next, is how detailed your computer is
padded and protected inside its packing box so it would not be easily
damaged.
Next, was the details that I have expected from Apple.
Nearly everything that you will need is packed, even a small special
soft cleaning cloth for cleaning the screen.
The Thunderbolt port of iMac MC309LL/A
The keyboard is packed in a slide open package, and the wireless mouse comes with its soft protective cover. Very impressive.
Furthermore,
you will find a manual to read which explains on setting up your new
computer, it lists nearly all basic informations you will rarely need,
because the iMac setup assistant will do the job of getting started with
your new desktop.
A new set-up for
MC309LL A iMac is very simple and fast, about 15 minutes after I unboxed it, I could already accessed the internet.
This
iMac MC309LL A traced my home network very fast, almost immediately, I did not need to do any extra works for it!
Design
wise, Apple has the best designed products, everyone knows it. If you
have never had Apple computer, this iMac MC309LL A would leave you
delighted with its best design you have ever seen.
Unlike any
other laptops or Desktops, Apple products, including this iMac MC309LL A
has a great balance of pre-installed programs without overloading the
machine with junky softwares. Thus will allow users to add any programs
as needed.
Like the previous successors, this iMac MC309LL A
includes a few adequate softwares that we mostly need, like iPhoto and
iTunes. Although I still need Adobe Photoshop and Ms Office for works,
iTunes, iPhoto and other programs are great included softwares.
The
time-machine is very useful to recover some of your datas if they are
deleted or lost accidentally. Having an automatic backups in case
unwanted things would happen to our computers are just awesome.
I
have helped many of my friends who unfortunately have some issues with
their PCs, I must say, that having a Mac is really a joy, because you
can do anything you want without issues that Windows users have.
This
iMac MC309LL A works flawless, it has 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 processor
that allowing you to be able to work on multiple programs simultaneously
with stable performance, without any slowdown issues.
The 21.5″
LED-backlit widescreen display with a AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics
processor gives really bright and sharp as well as beautiful colors. The
included keyboard is actually smaller than I thought, but I do not have
any troubles typing on it.
The
keyboard does not include numeric keypad, so if you work with numbers a
lot, you might want to get a larger standard keyboard. What great about
the keyboard and mouse which are packed together with this iMac MC309LL
A is, they are wireless.
I do really enjoy and love the freedom of wireless devices.
Bluetooth
works with this iMac MC309LL A perfectly, also very simple to
configure. I could easily connect this iMac MC309LL A with my BB phone
using an Apple airport.

Average Computer
Okay Now for you normal, everyday computers. These computers are not bad, not good. They are low on prices, and okay in performance. You could do many things on these computers like check your email, write an essay, Watch some
videos (if you know what i mean). While this can still run games, edit videos its not as good. But they are usually very cheap.
HP Pavilion P2-1110 Desktop (VISION E450,3GB DDR3,500GB)(DVDRW)
HP Pavilion has a good reputation with lasting long. My brother got HP Pavilion back in 2007, its still running today, smoothly. It's nothing special with the spec
- AMD Dual-Core E-450
- 3GB DDR3
- 500GB
- AMD Radeon HD 6320 integrated graphics with up to 1460MB Total Available Graphics Memory
I was actually surprised on the Graphics card, Radeon HD 6320 is a very good graphics card, so I think you should be able to run games like MW2, BF3 quite smooth but don't quote me on that.
Hope you enjoyed my review
