ive had nothing but problems with it. it likes to go to sleep on its own then shut off, rather fustrateing.

I run Eve on a ten year old PC that has intergrated graphics and has never been updated. Sometimes it likes to freeze on the start button. My pc doesnt run Eve very well, it lags to hell on the lowest of low settings, but it works.
Basically, anything in the past 3-5 years and you should be fine. Or just fork out for a brand spanking new, top of the range one...

ive talked to so many companys that sell computers, and even brought the requirments for eve, some say 700$ for a good comp to run it others, say hey, he doesnt know much about comps lets try and get him to buy a 2500$ computer. |

My friend plays Eve on his PC (without any problems) on a -ú500 PC (think that's roughly US $800). Sure he cant have it on the highest graphics setting but it still runs nice.
800-900USD should be fine... Thats about 500-570GBP...
Personally, I'm building my own PC currently. I am going to be spending about -ú1400 - -ú1500, but I am going for a top of the range model. There's no reason a simple -ú600 model wont work...

What I am currently using...this has maaaaaajor issues playing Eve when I am in a massive filled system (such as Jita) but apart from that, it runs Eve fine in systems with below 60 people in.
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1022MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE
Basically what I am saying is, so long as its better than mine, you will be fine haha

High-end Samsung laptop seems to be doing just fine.

If they deliver on all the possibilities in DX11 the extra $$$ will be worth it.
If you can put a computer together (it's easier than most people think) you can build what alienware is selling for 2000 USD with around 700 in parts.

EvE can be run on some pretty terrible computers. If all you're looking to do is run EvE, and don't care much about having the graphics maxed out, then i wouldn't spend more than 3-5 hundred. You might even be able to get one for less than that. All depends on what you want really. But i wouldn't go for an upper-end computer unless you plan to play some other modern games, as EvE wouldn't really use most of it.

The EVE client is not all that demanding unless you turn everything to max, and even then. It gets demanding when you start wanting to multi-box (I run 6 clients at times). Just pick a computer with a modern CPU, a generous amount of RAM and a fairly recent (last 2-3 years or so) GPU and you're golden. |

Well, according to AkitaT, a mere GTX650 (not Ti, the lower one) can run three EvE clients at 60 Fps.
That computer has enough RAM, a good CPU and comes with a Radeon 7770 which is better than the GTX650, so I'd say you can play on max settings (or nearly, not sure).
I am waiting for my new rig, and while I went for i7 and an expensive motherboard, I chose a GTX660. It's less than 150Gé¼ (dirt cheap), it will run EvE perfectly for years, and I got Arkham: Origins as bonus, so I win. With the cash I saved on GPU, I added a 120Gb SSD HD for the operative system and the EvE client :D |

$1000 minimum, because if you have a great gaming rig EVE will not be the only game you will play. |

well, also, you should consider buying a Titan 
Seriously though, anything in the $300-$1000 range should work (add in 20-25% if you want a laptop, so you can get a slightly better gfx card/CPU ... since the dirt cheap ones are usually terrible).
One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

My -ú600, i3. HD6850 build is running it fine, 2 years on. To be honest, you could easily get away with an amd fx 6300, HD7850 and 8 gigs of room, and you'll be running Eve for years to come. |

Pretty much this. I'd say at least 700 dollars if we're talking about laptops, unless you happen to find a bargain sale for a laptop that has a proper GPU (=not integrated). quad-core CPU and more than 4GB of RAM (i'd suggest at least 6Gb). Cheap laptops are generally very poor choice for gaming, even if we're talking about just EVE. |

Titan  Nah...GTX - 780 is cheaper and better for gaming with, it's what I just purchased for my rig that I am building.

If this is the case, then focus on getting a good case and motherboard/processor. A NVidia 650 or Radeon 6670-6770 should be plenty for the video card. For the power supply get something cheap initially and upgrade later once you know what your upgrading to. For the HDD get a standard 1tb 7200rpm drive to start, and you can get an ssd later (they make a massive difference in load times, its probably the most noticable performance increases on modern pc's). Do your research on motherboards, an i7 processor is preferred, but honeslty i5 is plenty. Pay attention to the chipset of the motherboard though. For cases I recently got a corsair obsidian 550D and can't recommend it enough.
I hate to disagree with you,-ábut there is nothing subjective about "boring" in connection to "mining".

i talked to the guy at the store, and i said that comp is what im looking at getting but might need a bigger case incase i decide to upgrade it, and their more then willing to add a different case in for an extra 50$ |

SLI dual 670s are cheaper and more powerful.
