So I am just starting to look into gaming PC's and was wondering on what to get as a beginner. Currently looking at the Vanquisher level 2-3 but before I get started, I wanna know whats a good deal. I've watched a lot of videos on gaming PC's(which probably got me into this and/or i got tired of my PS4) and what not, i stumbled onto this website and I like it, I need help on what I should start out with, also im playing some games like FO4, SWTOR, Skyrim, and some other games i got on steam but my labtop cannot handle some of them so please help and thank you in advance. Also sorry if there's a post about this already.

For the games you're playing and assuming a 1080 p monitor, either the level 2 or 3 will work great. Not much performance difference between the two. The level 3 does give you more ram and a larger power supply and a CPU with hyperthreading, but nothing you need.

Can't go wrong either way.

Hello V4V ..

I have the Vanquish model from 2 years ago, the one with the GTX 770 GPU, and I play the heck out of FO4, Skyrim, etc with no issues at all.

If you're just starting out, I would recommend the Vanquish 3 with the upgrades over the 2. Guaranteed to be quite the eye opener over the laptop.

Enjoy!

I would guess that sometime in the not-too-distant-future, DS will release a Vanquish using the new generation graphics cards, maybe in July. The level 3 will probably be a little more at around $1500, but you will get the GTX 1070, which is slightly better than the Titan X $1000 GPU currently out. That will handle any game up to 2560 x 1600 resolution very well.

I also plan on getting Total war: warhammer, will I still be good if I get a Van 3 ? I'm assuming so.
