T3X4S Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Another option would be to get a gaming console, and use the current PC for web browsing. Simple hard truth is, @ that budget, whatever you get "might" "barely" get you what you want in some small way. The end result will be you spent every penny you have, and in a short time, you will need an upgrade, or find yourself having to play on crappy settings, or miserable framerates. Its not what you want to hear, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
