Cheap Gaming Computer

[XxGENSOUxX 0]

Any one know of any good gaming computers under $600 usd. That will play arma 2 with dayz mod, Grand theft auto 4, And Guild wars 2. I would build my own but i am not very computer savy.

I don't even know what the market for prebuilts are anymore. I've been building my own for ten years. Sorry though, good luck.

I'm not too great with computers. I was 10 years ago but keeping up with the changing technology is just too much. $600 sounds pretty decent considering I payed twice that for my gaming laptop. Not including a screen and a good mouse/KB you should be able to get by on that budget.

I would pick out a few models around your price range and post the specs, would probably get a better answer.

ever build legos? its that easy

[bryantjudoman 3]

I built my own and it worked on the first try. And I am absolutely a noob when it comes to technology stuff. Hell I couldn,t even figure out how to install the mod. I needed 6updater to get it going. My comp has a wicked air cooler noctua d14 a good vid card it even has an ssd. All built by little old me.. There are really good tutorials on you tube and toms hardware is an indispensable resource for 600 you will get a great comp, Instead of a weak ass store built one. Do it yourself you will have a blast!

I had never built a rig but used the above new egg videos to build a PC from 1100$ worth of parts a couple months ago

Look at newegg.com just searching gaming desktop/lowest price I found this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229298

woot.com has daily specials and you could always find a gem there. Best bet would be to build your own via newegg's barebones kits.

you're not gonna be happy with that video card

the best thing is to build your own from scratch. it's not that hard. the next best thing would to buy a cheap (but decent) computer with no video card, and then put a decent video card in it. but you have to make sure the PSU (power source) can handle it

I don't know how willing you are to learn the process, but everyone is right. Building your own is cheaper and far more rewarding. Plus if you really want to enjoy PC gaming, a bit of more advanced knowledge goes a long ways.

Hell if you want I would be willing to help you out, PM me if you're interested.

Just put together a part wishlist for you, OP.

I went a tad over $600 USD though:

I didn't include a hard drive since prices are ridiculously high right now, and (assuming you have a desktop PC) you could salvage the HDD from your current PC instead.

I have this rig which is actually on sale at Frys for $500. It plays everything with the onboard graphics with ease. BF3, GW2, Diablo 3, Arma 2 (Dayz) with no upgrades. I really cannot believe it is able to play all those games with the onboard graphics, but it does, and it does it with great FPS and performance. But....

My son has this same computer. He put in a vision tek power supply adapter and a Nvidia 560 TI...and he plays EVERY game on ultra with ease. I am going to run the same set up when I get off my ass and go to the store lol. He paid $636 for everything out the door.

Normally I build our computers, but if you do not want to wait for the shipping or worry about possilby receiving defective parts this was pretty much cheap route to go with a screaming fast machine. Although I cannot say if the computer is still on sale where you live.

yep, if you get into PC gaming, you're gonna have to open it up and get in there to do something at some point anyway. so you might as well get a head start and build your own. it's a rewarding feeling when you know what everything does inside that box
