I was looking for a gaming computer to play games on, mainly minecraft but I want it to also run games like Arma III And BF3 on good settings and good fps (45 or higher at least on arma III) and build it for me on pcpartpicker nz because I don't know how to it would help loads. Thanks.

This is almost impossible for the small budget that you have. This is the best I could do and I doubt that it will get above 40 fps on BF4 at the lowest settings possible. The only way that you can do this for $500 NZ dollars is by buying used parts.

I can still afford that but what do you reccon fps would be on Minecraft and Arma III?
 

Agree. The fact that there can only be 1 stick of RAM makes the iGPU useless.

Should get 90+ FPS on Minecraft on max. settings and about 40 FPS on low on Arma.

@Computer_Guy & asad dab

Hi there, I am a New Zealander also and I am just noting the fact you cant do 500$. If possible would you be able to go through it and get the cheapest possible deal but also with the specs? I would be interested to then see what my budget could withstand

-Cheers,

No, laptop memory isn't compatible with desktop memory.
