    New Laptop/PC Advice -Please Read the Opening Post

    In the graphics cards benchmark list on the first page of this forum, Radeon vega 8 is down in the low mid range and I’m using that as a gauge as to what I want to achieve. Both of those suggestions have those graphics. I want to just poke my head into the mid range. Other criteria I’m aiming for is either Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 minimum at at least 2GHz, 8GB RAM,  Windows 10, 256GB SSD all minimum. Not urgent but will buy immediately if the right one comes up. Thanks for those suggestions guys.

    I agree about taking reviews with a pinch of salt as there are always things that happen unexpectedly but these reviews rang big alarm bells in my head lol. Check it out https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.ebuyer.com   Especially the one where the customer claims that Ebuyer were sending out electronic items with a lower spec than they were advertising

    Hi guys. Thanks for the response. I have the cash but I just can’t spend more than £500 on a machine to play a game. I’m a family man and I can’t be too extravagant with this. I’ve happily raised my budget from £300 to £500 because I’ve seen gangor and Smurf quoting £5-600 a few times as being the basement for a decent one. I believe there is one out there for me that gets me what I need. How about this?

    I knew nothing when I found your forum today, only that I wanted to start my FM journey. I’ve studied the front page and read a lot of your comments and feedback on other pages. You guys are doing a awesome job and you’ve won my trust. This forum is very educational to read! I started with a £300 budget and now understand I have to go to £500 but can’t justify going any higher. I’ve found a few with decent specs for the price range but believe you guys can show my something better for the price.

       1.https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9396461 this one is ok but I think the graphics will just be too low         for me.

       2.https://www.argos.co.uk/product/5029976 this one looks good but I have no idea about the quality of the integrated graphics card for the 3D 

       3.https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-3-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-1-tb-hdd-black-10203784-pdt.html this looked alright but has no mention of the graphics card.

    None of these seem to have a disc drive so do you have to buy an external one to stick the game in? (I’m allowed one stupid question, obvious to you I’m sure but I’ve been pure iPad for over 10 years lol). Also, how does 1tb of HDD compare to 256gb of SSD? Which is better?

    This may be a bit ambitious or achievable but this is what I’m looking for out of the game for £500. 5-6 leagues, medium to large database, medium setting 3D matches. I’m a qualified football coach in real life so I’m quite meticulous and my game weeks will probably take longer than most. Please recommend a beast that fulfills my criteria, or can get me closer than those above with a few settings tweaks. Thanks in advance.
