Desu Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 0 Chance it can even run COD4 over 25 fps. You will never be able to find a gaming computer from Bestbuy, CompUSA, Staples or Office Depot that are under $1400. Finding any gaming computer under $400 dollars is almost a near to impossible task. Building one under $400 dollars is pretty hard already. Here are your best options 1.) Build it yourself. If you don't have the knowledge get help from a friend. A lot of people follow youtube vids to help them build their first gaming computer. I posted a reference of what you can get for $400 2.) If you can't build it, buy on craigslist or ebay. You won't ever be to find a new gaming computer for this price so your best chance is to get a used one. I suggest you go back and look at Thundercunts post because he posted a decent gaming comp for only $300 and I can guarentee you'll never get a better deal than that. Also Desu you should consider getting it since you said you needed a gaming comp cheap. Tips: If you want a computer that can play most games today (not every game but will play most of them). You will have to settle for a GT 240 or 4670 or higher video card. You can get some nice cheap ones on newegg.ca for a decent price. im building mine ^^ Quote

OnionKnight Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 ya but the thing is i can't go over $410 and i need everything all this stuff for my pc is like 10 year + and broke in one way and building i am to much of a dumbass to do that lol i get piss of really easy so i just end up brokeing it or give up lol Don't worry man. There is a back up plan . For times like this I think ebay and craigslist is the best. This is the one Thundercunt posted. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/sys/1679740546.html . I say its pretty good for $300 and you still have $110 left for a LCD montior ( This 19' monitor has decent reviews for being cheap http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254023 It is free shipping. Costs $114.99 though). So in total this would be $414.99 for a gaming comp with a LCD montior =) Quote
*Kiba* Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 ya i sent them a email to see how much it would be to ship it it not my money to spend lol my mom the one getting it she like wow and what and all this she 50 years old and don't no really nothing about pc and how much they are and what best i not really look for one to play a hole shit load of games just one that better then this one i don't no how much longer this one has left in it lol jave been a b*** on here i can't update Internet Explorer to the news one or even get the new msn on it locks up when i do i just look for something that can play like halo i have the cd and cd keys for it i got it for this pc but the video card in it shit the games i play most of are ET and my FPS on there are like 10 and lower today it was staying at 8 but what i do most of is watch movies and play ET and id on't really no much about windows 7 i heard it sucks more then vista and i heard it better then windows xp but i don't no anyone here have windows 7 and can play ET Quote

PHANTASM Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 You can find dozens of good used computers for cheap on craigslist.com in your local city. I got mine (2007 SONY VAIO) for $250 on craigslist. It was worth $1500 two years ago. It's 2GHz Dual Core, had 200GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, nice LCD monitor, etc. The lady was selling it because she had it so infected it wouldn't work anymore, also it belonged to her ex-husband and she had a laptop now so it was unused. Had to reinstall Win XP on it and get some drivers then it worked fine. Then I found a 1GB NVIDEA graphics card on craigslist for $40 and I was good to go. Made a huge difference in my playing ability. Then a couple weeks ago I bought a new mouse (Razer Naga). ET is much more fun with a nice system. You can find almost anything on craigslist lol. Quote

Video card is a Radeon 9200, monitor is a Mag Innovision 19" Flat Panel Lt916s.
