So I have 700$ and i want to play games like battlefield 3 and skyrim on a comp but i dont really want to build one (but i will if i have to) so my quesiton is, is there a pc or barebones i can buy and just add a card or something to it to play these games or do i absoloutly have to build one?? and do i even have enough money?? I dont care about having the best computer ever i just want to play games on min settings with little to no lag..
 
you can build a pretty good one and get about medium on 1080p prob, or if you must check out cyberpowerpc and ibuypower.com, they are prob the best deals and good customization.

I would stay away from the second one as the bulldozer chips have had a few problems. They both however would need a gpu upgrade for decent settings, im not to sure as the site doesnt state what psu they have but it may also need a psu upgrade. So you could end up spending another $200-300.

Would you be willing to build in your own if someone on here found you the parts? That way you will have strong components right of the boot and more features for less.

Building a computer is pretty easy, and there's so many video tutorials that you can find an installation video for just about everything.

you plan to play diablo 3. We can put you one together one to take care of that game.
Ill put a list together for you and the others can tweak it. Several questions first.
1. do you need a DVD drive, or do you have one you can reuse?
2. Hard drive prices are outrageous right now. we can get you a inexpensive SSD if you have a HDD to save your data to. Do you have a SATA hard drive that you can use?
