Hey guys,
I'm looking for suggestions for a budget gaming PC. I just want it to play World of Warcraft and League of Legends. I don't record any footage or do any video rendering. My budget is 500$-800$, though the less expensive, the better. Any suggestions would be great! Let me know if I can offer any other helpful information.
