Which PC is Better?
« on: August 03, 2016, 08:34:46 AM »
Hi, so recently I've been looking for a gaming PC that interests me. I just want to know which one can give me a bang for my buck. One's a desktop and the other is a laptop, if that changes anything. I only have 4 expansions packs and I don't plan on getting more besides Seasons. I'm more focused towards CC.  Also, this has nothing to do with the question but when I updated my game a few months back it made a duplicate icon and I don't know if I should delete it.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y700
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB
Processor: 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (2.60GHz 2133MHz 6MB)
Memory: 8.0GB PC4-17000 DDR4 2133 MHz
Hard Drive: 1TB 5400 RPM+128GB PCIe SSD
Price: $989.99

CyberPower Gamer Dragon (I customized it a little bit)
Graphics: GeForce® GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
Processor: AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz Six-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB
Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz
Hard drive: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
Price: $950

Go ahead if you'll like to add your advice in to make the gaming experience a bit more enjoyable.

Comparing by specs the desktop is better. As it has a slightly better graphics card, faster hard drive. The game will overall perform better on a desktop.

However, with this desktop, it is very strongly recommended to buy a better power supply as the supplies that come with most budget gaming pcs are under powered for actual gaming. This can cause damage to the system due to over-stressing the power supply.

Recommended Power Supply:
EVGA 500W Power Supply = Price: $37.05

I'm not sure if you can delete duplicate icons, but here's something about that problem.

Double copies of expansion packs
