    So I'm saving up money to buy a better computer. I mostly play BeamNG and Minecraft. The laptop I have now runs minecraft just fine but I want to have a computer that will run BeamNG on high settings at hopefully a minimum of 30fps. So I was wondering which of these two computers would be better? This http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Xtreme_1000 or http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplore_X6-7400_Gaming_Notebook ? It would be more convenient to have the laptop but I would definitely be okay with a desktop. Thanks:D

    Do some research and build your own PC! If you know which parts to get and wait for sales to pop up on newegg, you can build a PC with much better hardware for less money then a pre-made system. When your build your own PC you get to pick ever component to suit your needs, and not have it wasted on crap you wont use.

    I would but I don't really have the time or knowledge to build my own PC. I'm only in high-school.

    I built my first PC right after I got my first job, 16. The internet is pretty amazing, hours of tutorials on youtube thousands of guides on tech sites.. Actually building the computer takes an evening at most, best to learn early man. In the long run being able to setup your own machine will save you a ton of money.

    It tends to be cheaper and you get exactly what you want when you build. Rather than lets say the only PC with the graphics and cpu combo you want having a 2tb hard disk when you might only want 1tb, when building you can just turn around and say: "no, I'm not taking a 2tb hard disk, I am having 1". Actually you might want 2 in which case you buy 2tb, but I personally don't quite keep that much data and at least a desktop is then upgradeable with more hard disks.
