[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8240259, member: 4348"] The new Intel chipsets actually can run Witcher 3 just fine from what I understand. They actually are probably equivalent or better than the R5 series from Radeon (and old chipset to be sure, but still can run W3). I have preferred Nvidia to Radeons to be honest, but Nvidia's drivers seem to have difficulties with certain older games while Radeon's run them just fine. Anything you want to run probably can be done on a Nvidia 1660 or along that series. You don't need a top of the line card to run most of the PC games out today. I haven't had anything press the capacity of a 2060, much less a 1660 or 1060. Even with Radeon most games are not pushing far beyond the R7 series these days. I think even Intel chipsets could probably run the Witcher 3 these days just fine. That from what I hear (I haven't actually tried this myself, but part of that is because all I currently use for gaming are Nvidia computers and one Radeon). I would actually say, buying from a retailer rather than a specialist MAY be handy depending on what sort of warranty a retailer offers. I buy online for computers sometimes because I can order specifically what I want. HOWEVER...if you do NOT know what you want, a retailer may be the better way to go. The reason is because they design in bulk. These computers are put together in the same way, which also means that everything is tested originally to ensure they work well together. With a good warranty to go along with that, you'll have a computer that will probably run almost any of the mainstream items out there that you would want to run without having to worry about compatibility or not. HOWEVER, make sure it is a GOOD warranty (replacement if it breaks, shuts down, etc, in home repair and warranty, in-store replacement rather than mail-in...etc). Some speciality stores may offer the same stuff, but in my experience, most do not. [/QUOTE]
