Take the latest from Lenovo, the IdeaCentre Y700. The $999 Best Buy-specific model we're reviewing (specifically, model Y700-34ISH-90DG) is far from a overmuscled, extravagant one. Instead, it's something of a “just enough” gaming PC: It's more than capab...

The design of the Y700 is one of a kind from other PCs and the performance is fantastic...
The price is a bit too high for those that are looking to get into gaming for PC...
I know I've already said this at the beginning of the article, but I haven't gamed on a PC in years, but this could be a perfectly good reason to start getting back in to it. Lenovo did a fantastic job on this gaming tower, along with the accessories to g...
