Hey guys, this year I had recently started playing Steam on the PC more and have come to terms that my 2012 macbook pro isn't cutting it when it comes to certain games. I predominately play fighting games and while the benchmarks are typically near perfect with A- rankings for Street Fighter 4 and Skullgirls, it does lag a bit during two player matches.
I move from place to place often and would like to have a gaming pc that is consolized as possible in order to make it easy for me to take it around. I know people say that you choose the PC case last, but I couldn't help but pick one. Ideally, this build would be based around a Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini-ITX, or a 120 advanced.
Here are some things I'd like it to do well:
-Run fighting games like Street Fighter 4, Skullgirls, Blazblu and 2d platformer indie games on steam flawlessly while running a music player or youtube.
-[If possible] be able to play streetfighter while streaming
-Be decent enough to run the upcoming Street Fighter 5 which uses the Unreal Game Engine.
-Play media such as music and HD films easily
-[If possible] Some basic video editing, I have a GoPro Hero 3 that I like to use.
-1 TB of space.
Right now, my Macbook has these specs:
Intel i5 3210M 2.50 ghz
Intel Graphics 4000
8gb ram
500gb of space
I don't need a monitor or windows, but I do need a wifi adapter.
I'm a college student who's broke but wants to get his game on, so I only have 500 bones to spend unfortunately-- think of it as a challenge!
Thanks in advanced!
