First I want to introduce myself: I am Alexander and I am 18 years, I think this will suffice. I wanted to ask what I could put in a computer for gaming with a budget of $ 800. I do not ask to run Battlefield 3 at ultra settings but to be able to keep it up to minimum settings. In addition, the computer must also hold onto Skype and Fraps (it is a program to record a game) while playing.
Thanks! :)
