Hello! First, thank you for taking the time to read this! Second, I would like to ask a separate question: is there such a thing as a decent gaming laptop that doesn't cost $1k+?
I will be building from scratch so I will need everything. I only play mild games such as WoW so I would like a computer that can handle the displays in max settings without lag or without the fan going crazy on me. I would also like to future-proof it as I am planning on playing the Final Fantasy Online game that's coming out, and would like to play that in moderate to max settings as well without lag (especially when critical). Please help me!
Approximate Purchase Date: between now and next month
Budget Range: Max price is $700
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, school papers & research, browsing the web, possibly watching streaming movies.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Recommendations, please.
Parts to Upgrade: need everything from scratch.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any reliable site
Location: Raleigh, NC
Parts Preferences: AMD or intel? Pros? Cons?
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Don't know.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x?
Additional Comments: Do I need a cooling fan?
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need an up-to-date computer for once. Any additional information or questions required of me, please ask. I will be in class so I will check when I return. Thank you!
