Hey guys, after skipping out on the new consoles, I'm ready to start in the computer gaming world. My dad is still skeptical that I am able to build a computer that can handle my games, and so I need to prove to him I can. Due to my low budget, I need to leave out a few things. I've decided to use Linux, as the only games I want to play are LoL, Starbound, Gmod, MineCraft, and use Skype, all of which are playable on Steam for Linux. Anyways, here are my needs:
Approximate Purchase Date: Probably this week or the next
Range: $450 max, with as few rebates as possible.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet surfing, Netflix
Are you buying a monitor: No, I have one.
Parts to Upgrade: Whole system
Do you need to buy OS: No, I'm using Linux
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whoever has the cheapest parts
Location: City, State/Region, Country: Southern N.J (too far away from the Microcenter)
Parts Preferences: Whatever's best, I have no preference.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Probably not at this price
Your Monitor Resolution: My small one is 720p, large one is 1080p, and I'll be playing on both, so if it's slightly portable that'd be nice.
Additional Comments: I don't need this to do a whole bunch, as it will only be for light gaming and internet surfing. Also, I need this to have somewhat of an upgrade path, as I'll put better parts in later.
Why Are You Upgrading: My current laptop sucks for pretty much everything.
So there you are. If you need any more info, feel free to ask. Thanks!
