So I want to start off with a question, then ill get to the details. I play games casually, perhaps 15-20 hours per week. Mostly single player games, and World of Warcraft. I play on satellite internet (awful, i know, its all I've got other than dial-up ), and want to make sure that internet speed has nothing to do with overall frame rate/graphics. It doesn't, right? I'll still lag (latency lag), but i want to lag while looking at a decent amount of frames, ya know?
Anyways with that being the first big question, ill get to what I want, and my budget. I'm gonna build my own PC, it seems like it would be a rewarding experience, and form what people say its really easy these days. I'll have to buy all my parts online, and I DO NOT need any peripherals in this price range, this is for the internal components+case only, I can work out a mouse/moniter/keyboard/speakers etc.
Budget is around 600-700 $, I know its not a lot, but its what I've got lol. Like I said, I dont need anything fancy, I just want to be able to run some simple games on settings other than low. The current pc I'm using isn't a gaming machine at all, and even at low settings i get terrible frame rates and horrible distance rendering.
I plan on getting the parts over the next month or so, idk if that matters or not with such a low budget, but I thought i'd include the purchase window anyways.
I'm pretty much as new to this as you can be. I've done a bit of reading and I think I have a basic understanding of what ill need, and how components work together, but as far as requesting specifics, I have no idea other than to tell you that I need the minimum for running some simple games, on (hopefully) average/high settings (def. not ultra or anything like that). One more question: what can I expect out of games in the 600-700$ price range? Anything better than what i'm currently dealing with is good with me, i'm just curious.
AH I forgot to mention, I also need an OS with that budget, anything will do, windows 7, or w/e, it doesn't matter to me in the slightest. I hope my questions make sense, if you have any questions AT ALL feel free to ask, i'll respond as quickly as possible. Thanks
