I live in South Africa and I have about R5500 (rand) to spend, it is about $400.
I want to know if I can buy a pc which will be able to run the latest games like Star Wars: Battlefront.

Should I build a pc (if I should, plz tell me what to buy) or is there a pc, within my budget, that I would be able to buy to play the newer games.

Thanks!

If you are able to buy from USA, you can get a rig around that price. Below example without Windows and monitor.
It will run all newer games, but don´t expect high/ultra settings graphics. Expect medium/high, with some games having to disable AA as well for fluent performance.
