149976-best-desktop-for-wildstar

== Content ==
			I'm looking to upgrade and buy a new computer, budget under $1000, although I would finance for more if it's really necessary. What's the best desktop I can get to run this game, and no I am not building one myself, I am too lazy and have other stuff to do in my life so I just want to buy one and play. Thanks!

			Take a look at cyberpowerpc.com. You can have them build a pc with quality parts for a good price. Make sure to post in their forums want you are thinking about getting and get feedback from the group. I spent $1500 and got the newest gen I7 liquid cooled, msi m5 mobo 16 gbs of 2800 ram and an msi gtx 980ti. I can run ws maxed out in most areas well north of 120 fps, about 85 in thayd when it's busy. You should be able to get a new I5 and a gtx 970 and a 128 gb ssd with a mechanical tb drive for right around a grand, just watch for their daily specials and they always have a 5% off coupon code to use. That should rock WS pretty good.

My buddy put this together for me, any thoughts before I shop the parts to get a better deal?

Pretty decent (not that it matters to you) just be aware that it is last gen hardware compared to the skylakes (ie - i5-6600k) currently.  Just want you to be aware in case you ever plan to upgrade as you go.
 
I've known people to do great with haswells on ws while others suffer, it's really just hitting the jackpot.  As for the 950 I'd expect somewhere around high-ultra (mostly leaning on high, but wouldn't be surprised if you could do ultra as well) settings.

just want to say i have the Sky i5 6600k and i don't have any problems with the game and all run smooth on my desktop.
so maybe the ones with the problems having other parts that making the problems or carbine fixed it (but never had problem anyway)

Overall not a bad machine, and another question are you, the buddy, or both of you putting this together or are you looking to buy a complete system?  (I built mine but I understand if you prefer decent pre-builts).

I'll be putting it together but he's going to help me since I've never done it, so it'll be a learning process. I would rather buy a pre-built if it's for a decent price, I don't really care about how the machine looks, just that it performs.

I understand trying to get the most bang for your buck, and building a pc can be a cool experience. If you go with this set up make sure you get some extra case fans as it will run hot over extended runs. 
I would also say it's in your best interest to make sure you're not just getting something with power at the expense of a quality. Consider looking at something on the a170 platform and a newer gen i5. The newest will go along way to running WS for you and you really want at least a 960 or if you can get the money a 970. Here is an example of a nice machine close to your original budget and can get this for just over $1030 with a 5% off code.

In any case, good luck and enjoy your new machine.

			I haven't purchased anything yet, I've been listening to all the advice given. I won't buy anything until I have a solid favorable opinion.

			So I've been busy working but I'm back looking again at computers, I really just want to get a desktop already made up, anyone have anything to say about alienware vs. Asus ROG? I guess my main deal is looking for something middle of the road since I'm not hardcore and getting payed to play games.
