The final price with shipping comes out to 695.80. I am not looking for the best gaming computer because I am a casual gamer, mostly settling for free games and other low end games like counter strike and WoW. I understand that it is hard to make a computer for cheap, but this is the cheapest I came up with for a gaming computer. Do you think this is good ? Is there any computer cheaper that I can spec out ? Lastly, what are the highest requirements of games that this computer can play ?
I also am looking at laptops because this is going to be for college, but I think it is a better bet to go with a desktop since laptops are so expensive. Budget is preferably less than 700, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks, I still am looking for more answers, but yeah I do not mind building. If I am allowed to, if there is a list of things you can tell me that comes out to less than 700 with shipping and everything included, go for it. Im looking for the best possible gaming computer for that money amount. Thanks.
