Buget PC face off

[SavageRico]

I'm hoping that number one comes back in stock by next Friday then if not I'll see about number four if I can afford it.

It's this just the video card holding these back?

The video and power supply in all of these units is where the slow down is going to be.

The reason I say Power supply is you couldn't even run a better video card with the 300-400 W power supply in these systems.

Yeah, with those systems you are paying for case flash, and they get sales by people thinking "Oh, yeah, this what a gaming PC should look like"

Having a SSD is a pretty big deal as well. Loading times on anything remotely new will be a killer without one.

Can anyone suggest another premade pc by chance (within five hundred) or another website or sites I can use? I'm hearing mixed things about newegg. Just coming from a laptop that has everything (I think ) turned off our as down as possible, even playing on a lower resolution I'm still getting terrible fps 6 with ppl 12 by myself.....which in turn makes the game not so enjoyable during group play..... Not to mention ninja mudra input..... I just want to ruin this on my 1920 on a decent fps... Not ultra but I would like to have others effects on to see the cool moves.... and explore the world without all the clipping...

The last two machines I bought were factory refurbs. They went back to the manufacturer and were stress tested, parts were replaced and they were sent back out with base OS.

I'm running an i5 3.3 Ghz quad with 10GB ram that I got for $300 US. If I can find a modular power supply that fits in it, I'll get a 750 ti low profile as the supply in it only has 240 watts but the 610 card I got is running this and everything else I play. Is it brag worthy? No but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around paying $600 for a vid card so I'll make due.

[SavageRico]

Where can I view some of the used systems?

Sadly, "Budget" and "PC gaming" tend to be mutually exclusive.

If you can't spend more then $500 I would honestly hold off.
$900 is kind of where the price starts to be best bang for your buck range.

Anything below $600 you aren't getting bang for your buck.

Anything above $1100 diminishing returns on your $

You aren't really going to get a good pc for the money unless you build your own. All perbuilts have a high mark up and use lower quality parts. I never built a PC then decided to build my last one and it wasn't very hard at all. It similar to putting together legos.
