Can I game with a sub $500 system while I save for a better rig. The system I was using died (after over 5 years of service with an Athlon X2 64) and I need something to hold me over. I really want to get some gaming in for Fallout New Vegas, Dead Rising 2, Civ V, Sims 3, Crysis, and some other titles. The most intensive game out there has to be able to run at least, my system that died ran Fallout NV on max settings with my trusty old 9800GT in her.
So i am asking for some options here basically. Is it possible to build a sub $500 system on cyberPower that can run the games at 1360x768 and support 2 monitors (I cant live without that now lol, its great) while looking pretty?
For example will a simple system like: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/AMD_Dual_Core_Configurator/ do the trick? In it's default config is it good enough to keep me gaming while I save for a really great system, and by really great I mean $1,500+ range.
Thanks in advance for the help on this one, I am good with building and fixing systems but I am just learning the ropes still when it comes to custom builds.
