Hello friends. I am looking to upgrade from my fairly decent laptop that I use for gaming (it has Radeon 6770M) to something more future-sensitive. I do not want to spend any more more than $800. I would like to try building a computer, but I am not sure if this is a good idea. Exactly how "difficult" is it to build one? I feel I may get very frustrated trying to do it and it will all end in failure.
The only really intensive thing I plan to be doing is play games and maybe render some videos. Some of the games I have:
- Total War Rome II
- Civilization V
- Minecraft
For a budget of $800, would I be able to make a system that can play all of these games at high settings? Ideally, I would like the CHEAPEST system that can play my games at high settings. I don't want to have to spend any more than I need to because I do not plan on buying many new games. It is not required to spend exactly $800.
I'd just like the best "bang for the buck" type of deal for UNDER $800. I really do not want to spend over AT ALL, going as far as 800 is even a bit too much for me. Do not care at all for going to 810 for the really good deal. Note that the $800 also includes a monitor and operating system, I already have a mouse and other accessories. I'd like Windows 7 as an operating system.
I am sorry if I sound a bit demanding but I am not very knowledgeable in this area so any help is greatly appreciated.
