INSTRUCTIONS UNCLEAR: ORDER BANANA?

Generally when you ask about finding a gaming PC, a CRITICAL ITEM that many people will want to know is WHAT YOUR TARGET BUDGET IS? Without this information, you're going to get a vast range of systems that vary between cheap, but seriously underpowered to overhyped system with an overblown price tag to match. You also forgot to mention if you're looking for a laptop OR a desktop, which can affect costs as well. I know you may not want to hear that your desired system may be unattainable, but at least you would know what to shoot for in funds. With that (all-to-common) rant out of the way, let's look at system requirement objectives.

Using System Requirement Lab's website ( https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri ) & reviewing the noted games... Apex Legends is currently the most demanding, but it's not as demanding as PuBg. For desired specs (running with Recommended Requirements as a guideline), I would have to go with the following:

* Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 1060 (3 GB) or better; AMD R9 290 / RX 570 or better.

* Processor: Intel Core i7-7700/HQ / i3-8100 or better; AMD Ryzen 3 1300X / Ryzen 3 2200G or better

* RAM: 8 GB or more (16 GB recommended)


With those baselines, we can examine systems.

With Dell, the starting price points will be around $900 for desktops & around $1,100 for laptops for the desired specs BEFORE DISCOUNTS.

With HP's OMEN series, desktops will be going for around $1,050 & laptops around $1300 BEFORE DISCOUNTS

Even NXZT's Let's BLD service won't go any lower than $1,000 for a desktop.


You might be able to look elsewhere for better prices, but this is a reasonable focus. If you're willing to build your own system & venture into the secondary market for components, you could scrape by with a $500 budget... but it might be too much of challenge for your to attempt.


Hope this helps!

If you ALREADY have a desktop pc, there is no need to buy yet another. Just upgrade the RAM (until it beeps at you, or stares with a blank screen), the graphics is what games more or less use these days, so that's what will be your main requirement. Processor is last, speed is more important than the number of cores. 1.3 GHz just won't do. 2.4 GHz x4 will be just fine.

My idea of not too expensive is $800, which is more than enough for a gaming PC.

Most people build a gaming PC because they can get a better PC for cheaper. Sometimes you can find a good prebuilt PC for price that's maybe 10% less than a custom build. The catch is you need to look at prebuilt Gaming PC's that already cost $1000.

The problem with these prebuilders is they will build Garbage Gaming computers and then try to sell these for prices like $500, $600, or 700. Many of these come with AMD A-Series processors like the A10 or A8, AMD FX processors, and companies like HP will try to build a Black and Green Gaming PC that has a power supply that's too small for the hardware.

You can build yourself a gaming PC that can run all the games, and run them well for about $550 to $600.
