I’m considering purchasing a pre-owned computer for playing video games. Performance with more titles is desirable, particularly for Fortnite, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and League of Legends. The three desktop computers I’ve identified are:
1. https://www.insomnia.gr/classifieds/item...-i7-4790s/
2. https://www.insomnia.gr/classifieds/item...7-desktop/
3. https://www.insomnia.gr/classifieds/item...er-master/

Which one do you think is the superior choice?

Hello

😊
Link 1: This is the newest of the three computers and features the strongest processor. It lacks a separate graphics card, relying instead on integrated graphics within the CPU. I suggest purchasing this PC if you can acquire a graphics card (like an RX 560 or RX 570) – you might also need to upgrade the power supply unit.

If obtaining a graphics card isn't possible, I would likely advise choosing Link 2. However, I recommend selecting Link 1 and saving additional funds to obtain a GPU; in the future, that system will be superior.

This model features the most recent built-in visuals. None of these are truly designed for gaming; a separate graphics card is preferable. However, I would still recommend the first option if you plan to install one yourself—you likely could fit a compact GPU into the i7-4790s.

What would be the expense of incorporating a respectable graphics card?

The suitability of a graphics card heavily relies on financial constraints. However, any device limited to slot power could likely function with the standard power supply. The RX550/RX560, GT1030, and even the GTX1050Ti (although a GTX1050 is arguably a more practical option) are viable choices. Ultimately, budget and wattage represent the primary restrictions. An i7-4790S isn't a high-performance processor, yet it remains a current generation model.
