I am considering getting into the PC gaming market and I need some help.
I have never built my own computer and I have a very tight budget for buying one.
I also don't want to buy from the store because most are not able to upgrade.
My last option would be to upgrade my current PC to play newer games.
I do not have the time to research all of this so I need major help.
Alright lets get into the dirty work.
I need a computer that will be able to run some of the newest games like Black Ops 2, and BF3 on at least medium, as well as some light gaming like Minecraft!
The only downside about this is the most amount of money I want to spend total is 600$ (that includes shipping).
Currently my computer specs are:
PC: Compaq CQ5110F
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 7550 2.50GHz Dual-Core
RAM: 3GB (Unfortunatley only about 2GB usable)
HDD: 320GB HDD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
OS: Windows 7 Premium (Installed by myself, originally Windows Vista)
I can run Minecraft on lowest settings, and StarCraft 2 on lowest settings with lag about every couple minutes.
I need a good computer for the games I want to run, and this does not cut it.
(I record for youtube as well.)
Now the things I need if I were to build/buy would be:
Optical Drive (For Installing WIN7)
Graphics: around 2gb vram (1-1.5gb would be good)
HDD: Around 320gb, i dont install that many games, and old ones i delete anyway.
RAM: Min 4gb, no less.
To clear some things up:
- NO MAIL-IN REBATES!!! (I hate them because they are too confusing! dont include them in the prices.)
- I WILL MAKE THIS MONEY IN ABOUT 6-12 MONTHS!
- HAS TO BE COMPLETELY UPGRADABLE (ALL PARTS CAN BE REPLACED/UPGRADED)
- INCLUDE ALL PRICES WITH SHIPPING AND NO MAIL-IN/SPECIAL DEALS!
(Unless I can buy two items in this build for cheaper if I buy them together!
- AS MANY CANADIAN LINKS AS POSSIBLE! (I'm canadian! eh!)
- THANKS FOR HELPING! <3333
(Sorry for long thread!!)
