Gaming Mini PC

[JChalmers]

Hi guys

Looking at getting a new pc as my 6 year old desktop is now running pretty sluggish and sounds like a jet engine.

I've been looking at the Orion Nano from the review section.

Is there anything that people would change? My current knowledge of PCs parts is almost non existent. Don't want to spend over a grand on a pc that's going to struggle in the near future.

Want to be able to run total war warhammer and have it looking great.

Cheers!

Do you have a budget? Does it have to be a mini pc?

If you can hold off for just under a month, AMD are releasing the RX 480 which should smash their current lineup for a very respectable £200. I'd hold off and put one of those in a mini PC.

If you're a fan of TWWH, you may benefit from an I7 in the rig also.

I don't necessarily need a mini pc the space would be nice but I could do a normal desktop if needs be.

I've got about £1250 to spend. It's mainly going to be for gaming and also recording/editing podcasts

Thanks. So is that the best bang for my money? Would it cause any problems putting in 16gb ram instead?

If that's the best to do I'll probably put in an order today for it.

 

[Beverly Whiteaker]

That would be a great decision JChalmers . In my opinion too, it would be good and worth for your money in terms of gaming.

 

[JChalmers]

Put in the order yesterday and just upped the ram to 16gb cannot wait to have a decent running pc again!

 

[Lepasconnu]

For what the set up looks like, it will be more than decent ahah!
