Help me buy a budget gaming PC

Alu57202

I want to buy a budget gaming PC for casual gaming.

My main issue is that it should be portable as I would shift annually. By portable I mean sturdy and not very big size and light weight.

I want a the monitor to be less than or equal to 22 inch 1080p resolution, at-least 60Hz refresh rate, response time less than or equal to 5ms.

My budget is 200$.

 

Thank You.

Reading the post it sounds like op is hoping to get a monitor, keyboard, and mouse as well.

 

If that's the case he may be able to get an old laptop that may play some old indie titles.

 

Or cruise craigslist for an old pc someone is getting rid of cheap locally with an old monitor.

Not happening with that budget, especially if you're trying to fit a monitor in there.

You might get away with an older used laptop.

 

My advice: keep mowing lawns and saving.

Thank You.

You can buy a 32" Curved 75hz 4ms Spectre monitor for under 200 dollars on amazon ….,,  If you want a small screen I recommend 24" as there really isn't any 22" out in the market today..
