Over the past 4 years or so I've found myself in need of 2 completely new Gaming PCs, one for myself and one for my brother a couple years later. While I am familiar with a decent amount, I do not keep up with the latest and greatest hardware, and ultimately result in having to ask an expert at my local PC store (Micro Center).
Micro Center isn't exactly that local, a two hour drive there and back, so I figured I would post here first! My other brother needs a new PC now and I told him I'd do the research for him. Here are my questions...
I need a gaming PC. One that can support current games, for example, League of Legends, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Wolfenstein, etc. A large variety of both low and high demanding games. I would like for them to be able to run comfortably at Medium graphics, and usually preform well at high+.
The budget her is $500, total. A pre-built PC is preferred, but if custom is recommended, I am unable to build the PC and would require labor costs, that in total, fall under the $500 budget including the parts.
I'm unsure where is best to look for a pre-built gaming PC, and what specs I need to look for. Is AMD okay? Should i be sure to stick to intel? Which graphics card is recommended and is 8gb RAM good?
Any tips, suggestions, links, or any other info you have, even if it doesn't answer a single one of my many questions, all is welcome and greatly appreciated! Direct links to PCs would be amazing as well!
I understand anyone giving me advice isn't getting paid for it, so I'm not going to be upset if you can't provide a lot of information. I really do appreciate any help anyone provides, means a lot to get support for free, thanks everyone.
