Need help With buying a PC!

brahan44 · Post by **brahan44** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:19 pm

I need a PC and I need one NOW! My price range is $300 - $370, I know not a lot to work with but that is all I can afford at the moment!

• Which one of these Laptops runs the game?
• Which one would you buy?
• Any other suggestions in my price range?
Thanks SO MUCH!

Laptops I have looked at: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...5281&catId=

My advice? Don't buy a computer now.. save up your pennies until you can afford to spend a little more than $370.

You can actually build a fairly good budget desktop for 370 or less, while needing minimal PC skills.

One tip of advice, never buy a PC from bestbuy, or any brick and mortar retail store, the markups are ridiculous.

I would suggest you try newegg.com

Newegg has good prices, but most important epicly awesome customer service.

You can build a very good desktop for 370$. Harddrives, ram, gfx, all dirt cheap these days.

Do you have any experience building desktops? Or fixing them? Pretty basic skills are required, i'd be happy to help you design a PC to purchase.
