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.
