    Gaming Desktop in Hong Kong

    Hi All

    So I've recently decided to get a gaming desktop and have done a bit of research on the min specs that i'm looking for.

    i7 intel chip 4 Ghz
    16 GB Ram
    256GB PCle SSD (Boot) + 1 TB (64 MB Cache) 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 - PNY

    The closest I've found at a reasonable price range has been the Alien X51although even this is a bit pricey and been reading a fair bit that Alien is a bit of a rip off. I was thinking it might be better to build my own t this stage or rather go to one of the electronic markets in Wan Chai/Mong Kok/SSP to get someone to get all the parts and arrange it for me. Any recommendations on someone like this? Preferably English speaker but Mandarin works too.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    I have no recommendation on who/where to go, but with new GTX 1060/1070 cards out which are cheaper and faster than the 9xx ones you might want to do a little more research...!

    Try SE Computers in MKK. I've been dealing with the guy for 26 years since he was working at Jumbo.

    Samuel ‪+852 9152 1097‬

    He speaks good English, guarantees his work and is a very decent guy

    Even in Western markets premade 'gaming' desktops are rare. And in Hong Kong having a custom built PC from a computer centre costs you parts +$150 so there is very little reason to go something like Alienware, which is ridiculously expensive for the spec (but the admittedly packaging is nice).

    If you go the computer centre built route, it only takes about 45 minutes for the machine to be ready for pickup, once you've sorted out the parts list.

    Get the GeForce GTX 1070, and if your budget can stretch that far, the new Intel Broadwell E processors.
