Hey guys! I'm looking to give the gift of PC gaming to someone dear to me this Christmas who lives out of state. He's never had any experience with computers, but recently I've learned of the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 ti and the possibilities seem to have really opened up from a budget perspective.
Ideally, I'd like him to have the least amount of effort involved in placing it together, so I was thinking of Ebaying a dell optiplex and having him slap in a 1050 or 1050ti. The thing is, I have little experience with ebay shopping for prebuilt old pcs, and was wondering what I needed to look for/lookout for. I've seen that the cheaper ones don't have windows installed, so wasn't sure of how to cheaply handle that.
Aside from an optiplex route, my budget would be in the $200-450 range, any ideas or suggestions?
