I have 500$ credit at best buy and I'm looking for either a gaming pc or laptop that can play stuff like gta V fallout 4 black desert online and most modern Games at 30 to 60 fps. I know maximum settings with these Games at this budget is impossible so being able to play at 30 to 60 on low on all of these is fine with me also buying from the best buy online store is an option however just custom building a pc is not an option cause I have no clue what I would be doing. I'm posting this cause I don't fully understand most of the explanation of the specs when I read them online so bear with me. You can post links to pc's fitting my description. Thanks
 
Maybe this is a personal opinion, but I'm more comfortable recommending a Dell computer over something like Cyberpower. Dell will have better support, and while the power supplies that are in either one will be poor quality, I am more inclined to think that Dell's would last longer, and the Cyberpower one would be more garbage. But that is my opinion.
 


you would think that was the case but after dealing with MANY different dells breaking in unreasonable ways. i would rather get the better deal and geta computer from somewhere else.

Thanks for both suggestions however I am leaning more toward the Dell one cause I'm unsure whether best buy's online store allows you to use 2 separate payments also I don't plan on playing anything with a keyboard and mouse so If there's a desktop that comes with neither that's fine cause I can just buy a keyboard and mouse for 10$ a piece. I'm going to leave this open for about a week or so just so i can get as many opinions as possible Thanks again. BTW Since all desktops have a HDMI output does that mean I can just plug it into the TV and not have to buy a monitor?
 


I doubt you'll get more posters. Once these topics go off the topic page, new people don't visit them. You can plug it into a TV.

Microsoft and sony make great gaming machines at that price range...... just saying

if you want to do any kind of gaming on a pc you will be much happier with yourself if you save a little more money and build something with more power. or if your a spender like me and have a hard to saving do like I did and buy piece by piece.

I have no experience with these steam machines but maybe an it is an interesting option. just be aware that they have their own unique os

I know that an xbox or ps4 is not the answer you wanted but those are seriously the best at that price range.

Thanks on the answer to the TV thing. Also I already have an xbox one I just need a new pc either way cause my old one is completely done and I have 500$ credit at best buy anyway and I want a gaming one so I can play some of the stuff that's just on pc so I figured why not. and it has to be windows cause I like to make beats on FL Studio as a hobby. Thanks again
