If you can put it together (or find shop that will put it together for you) you will get great machine which will run games acceptably and enough power for any media playback you throw at it or if you pay $110 more you can get great gaming potential better than so called HD consoles on the spot. |
So intimidating...........
Thanks though. I'll look into that. Id prefer just buying one bulit already though. Just a good bundled package. More than anything I just want one that can handle basic tasks/advanced media tasks. I never really planned playing games on it.
My budget just went down to $300-$400
