Zelda1548 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So I've asked before on how much I should spend on a pc, and now I am actually interested in possibly getting one. Max would be $750, maybe some more if it is worth the extra money/shipping costs. Would need to include a keyboard and monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I assume you'd also need an OS? Location? Use? -- will you be editing or just gaming? What games do you want to play/do you see yourself playing? Do you have any parts you can reuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What games do you want to play/do you see yourself playing? Do you have any parts you can reuse? OS- Yes Location- US Just gaming, and not sure how good of a pc I need to play the games, but I just got Dragon Age, Bioshock Infinite (I know I could run that) Skyrim on mdedium /high settings with at least a couple mods, Fallout New Vegas with at least the Tale of Two Wastelands mod (makes fallout 3 playable in New Vegas). Also interested in Far Cry 3 and 4. And no, starting from scratch, first gaming pc hence the need of a monitor and keyboard. Just curious, would there be any chance of me being able to run Witcher 3 on this budget? I'm not super interested in it (possibly later) but wouldn't be a big deal if not.

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So I'd do something like this. You can save quite a bit of money if you're willing to buy a windows key off of reddit/swap or G2a.com You could also save another $20 by going with a TN monitor (the colors aren't as good). I would also highly recommend stepping up to an i5-4440 (about $60~ more).
