This is better in the processor by a good bit! You would need to get more RAM eventually though 4gb won't cut it - but it's relatively cheap to buy and easy to install.

It has got Optane Memory but it's not the same thing as RAM, it basically makes a regular hard drive act like a SSD - which can speed up the overall computer, but it won't have much affect for FM.

[New Laptop/PC Advice -Please Read the Opening Post]

Hello

I am looking for a new desktop PC. I will be mainly using it to play Football Manager 2019 and 2020 when it is released. The only other games i play on PC are Sid Meier games like Sid Meier's Beyond Earth. I am hoping to be able to get a suitable desktop for an affordable price.

I had looked at options online at Amazon and other sites but I would rather buy from a nearby store that i can easily return the item to if it needs fixed, etc. 

So I had looked at items mainly on either Currys PC World or Argos. 

From the systems that are available from my local store and that are within my price range (£399 max) the following options are the ones I am considering.

I would like some advice regarding which I should opt for and if they will be able to run Football Manager 2019 and 2020 with good performance.

 

Option 1 -  Dell Inspiron - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/dell-inspiron-intel-core-i3-desktop-pc-1-tb-hdd-black-10181562-pdt.html

Option 2 - HP Pavillion - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/hp-pavilion-590-a0017na-amd-a9-desktop-pc-1-tb-hdd-black-10182117-pdt.html

Option 3 - Acer TC - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/acer-tc-885-014-intel-core-i5-desktop-pc-1-tb-hdd-black-10180957-pdt.html

 

From these options which would you recommend? If there is another system in the same price range from the same supplier that you think is better for my needs then let me know.

 

Thank you very much in advance for any help & assistance that anyone can offer. I appreciate all advice very much.
