Hi all. Thank you for any help. I'm not familiar with comp hardware etc.. an I'm looking to buy a new computer from Aaron's, or somewhere (rent to own) for Diablo 3 souls/necro & other games like fortnite. Mainly d3 but ya I need advice on this ASAP please..

Pretty much shopping around ATM..but looking to buy a comp before summer hits.. so still got a lil time to find a good pc at a decent price...

Can anyone tell me,

How well either of these computers I'm looking too get will play d3?
So can someone rate these 2 computers on a scale of 1-10. 1 being crap game play. And 10 playing absolutely flawless high fps. Etc without issue on max setting.

***Question*** anyone know of a reliable website that I can go to for gaming, and say put in the specs of a computer, like gfx card. Ram, processor etc and it tells me if it can play that game... And how well it can play the game?***

The computers specs are as follows:

Computer #1

HEWLETT-PACKARD
Omen Core i3 Gaming Desktop

1TB Hard drive
Memory: 8 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM memory (1x8 GB) (expandable to 32 GB (4x8 GB))
Processor: Intel 390Ghz processor
Gfx card:AMD Radeon RX 460

Other information on the computer if needed
https://www.aarons.com/omen-core-i3-gaming-desktop-7360HO4.html

Computer #2:

HEWLETT-PACKARD
Omen Desktop with Ryzen

1 TB 7200RPM SATA hard drive
Memory:8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM memory (1x8 GB)
Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 5 1400 Processor, Quad-Core 3.20Ghz
Gfx card:AMD Radeon™ RX 550 graphics card with 2 GB GDDR5 dedicated memory

Other information on the computer if needed:
https://www.aarons.com/hp-omen-ryzen-desktop-27-monitor-total-defense-security-GHO5HO5.html

Computer #1 is about $100/ month, and computer#2 is about$140/month, and I'm on a budget.. and I know the saying is the more something costs, the better it is. So computer#2 would be the better of the two. But I don't want too pay more for something that I don't need to, too able to play d3 at it's best for as little possible. So if any one can provide assistance I'd appreciate it.


Thank you!

Please don't rent to own...
Better off not playing games for a couple of months and bulding yourself.

Fist off you gettin' scammed, comp 1 is better for gaming.
Second off, neither of those are worth even half the selling price.
Third, as penguin said, don't rent to own on a desktop.

If you really want something for cheap that can play those games, here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GQMwzY
It will preform about the same as the second one would, but for literally 1/4 the cost.
You can forget max settings unless you are looking to spend at least $1k US up front if you still need monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.

Was trying to save price. Plus for a fraction of the upgrade cost you could just buy a 212 evo and just OC higher because your bottleneck is that shit tier TIM they used on these instead of solder.

That's true, but the option is there. 2400g will go farther than 2200g and imo, def worth the $

Just pick up a optiplex 990 & graphics card. Got my 990 for 100.00

1t hdd
3.1ghz i5 second Gen
8gb ddr3
650w psu

Then threw in a 650 I had laying around, can play Diablo just fine & can always upgrade as you go :) would be a good option since ddr4 is a little spendy same with a nice gpu. But you can always re use the gpu / psu in a new ddr4 build a few months down the road :)

Edit: total would be around 200.00 for the build & it runs fortnite just fine on higher settings, same with d3 :)
