Gaming PC - small budget

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hello all.  Friend of mine with a pretty small budget needs a config for a decent gaming rig. Any advice or specs would be appreciated. 

1. Your Budget: under $1200 (without monitor)

2. Expectations: Being able to play games (fps, rts, and mmo) with some upgradable capacity in the future.

3. Usage: Mainly gaming (BF3, Diablo 3, SWTOR, etc), web surfing, and video.

4. Special Needs: none

Thanks

	Hi Wisdom...that's a pretty tight budget for a gaming rig.... but I do understand. You didn' t mention the monitor or resolution so let' s say 23" or less and 1920x 1050 resolution or less. I can' t cut and paste the config specs right now so look at Config # 672204.....Cost $ 1215. This rig will play some games on max and ones like BF3 on medium to high settings...depending on the map. See what you think and good luck. Here's the build.. I can cut and paste now......
