But in all seriousness this is my speccy, and the only two games to have given me any framerate issues are The Witcher 2 with ubersampling and Sleeping dogs with 16x AA

I'm unable to notice any difference between 4x and 16 or even 32x AA however

He wants a prebuilt, at least read what OP said.

If you don't mind pirating windows and willing to learn and build it yourself( which is piss easy) it is possible.

If you need a laptop for school etc as well, I recommend this. Its $60 more but being reasonable with your budget, this is one of the best options, unless you want a desktop. I got this for school and while it doesn't replace my rig, it preforms fine playing most games on medium settings.

I've seen prebuilt desktops that are only 200$ that run better then that.
>>
>>254422398
Thanks for the ONLY contribution in this thread
Yeah, I am about to go back to shcool and need a work computer with small games on the side
Nothing bg, stuff like rust or counter strike
A laptop would be aright, but they can be pretty pricey
I also would prefer a desktop since im a animator and laptops are very uncomfortable with a tablet and stuff

You asked for pre-built there is no helping you.

Building a computer makes it sound way more complicated than it is.

When I thought of "building" a computer I imagined tons of tiny parts that I had to know how they all worked.

Realistically it was buy a tower with a motherboard in it, plug in shit where it fits and then connect it all to the powersupply, screw in some extra fans here and there and seal it up
>>
>>254420410
An Xbox One.
>>
It doesn't exist.

My computer's a prebuilt and it works for what I use it for, but what I use it for is small indie games and browsing /v/, and not much else.

I'm still considering building a better one. I don't know shit about building computers though, and if I did I'd just want a mid-tier one that could run games like sonic generations and dustforce with no slowdown. Not much else.
>>
Is there a site out there with a bunch of PC building ideas sorted by price? That seems like the kind of thing people would get super into.
>>
>>254426872
YES SIR

Not OP but my computer's a godawful prebuilt. What parts of this could I salvage for a new computer and how much would you guess it'd cost to build something semi-decent?
>>
>>254427701

the hdd, put the rest in the bin
>>
>>254420410
Use this as reference. It's Alittle over 500 but make adjustments. It's my budget build I wanna put togeather. Feed back?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zHR6pg
>>
>>254427938

I figured as much.

Again I know jack shit about building PCs so what do
>>
find something on craigslist
>>
>>254428274
the tax + delivery will push you 100-170$ more
>>
>>254428974
see
>>254427265

Just learn as you go.
>>
>>254429039
as much as I want to buy used parts
don't trust them
>>
>>254428274

might want to get different RAM, that cooler wont fit with high profile RAM

>>254428974

learn how, learn the bits, the good manufacturers and your budget, it is really very simple
>>
>>254429050
Not where I live. Most of the stuff you can spend the extra 5$ for the item on Newegg and get it free shipping from what I've seen.
>>
>>254429173
You must have had a lot of mother issues growing up, then
>>
>>254420410
>prebuilt
stopped reading there
>>
>>254429173
If it makes you feel any better, me and everyone I know who has used craiglist has had nothing but positive experiences. I've never bought PC parts, though.
>>
>>254427265

So you just find the one your budget can fit and buy all that shit? Am I reading this right?
>>
>>254429592

yes, buy from good manufacturers and follow a guide while building
>>
Not prebuilt but this will do.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BdQBGX
>>
>>254429592
yes and no
research your parts and shit
this is a good guide but it shows if you have a bit of extra $ you can move up
or if you find one that's on sale you can see how it ranks

also use pcpart picker- that site is based for organization, rig building/ part lists and tracking of prices
>>
>>254429792

Alright, cool. One last question, how high should you go just to be able to run modern games fairly well? I'm no graphicsfag but I want it to actually work at a steady framerate that's at least 30FPS.

I'm sorry for all this shit but I'm going from a godawful prebuilt to something that I want to last me at least a few years and I know literally nothing about PC building.
>>
>>254422181
Sorry, but it's absolute shit.
>>
>>254429989

I'd recommend reading up on parts, picking and choosing using one of those as a template, if I built my pc from the first lot of parts I picked it would be shit
