[Devin Davey]

Looking to buy a computer that will run farming simulator 2019 and the previous versions at minimum 60fps looking to spend 800 dollars canadain. Either a pre built computer or one that I can install a graphic card. And if the latter option what graphic card.

The best farm is the one outside. Otherwise get Intel because AMD is substandard.

What kind of...

 

Ryzen CPUs are great performers at much cheaper prices than Intel.

 

If you can go a bit over:

Any pre built opinions?

If you buy an $800 prebuilt you could probably build about the same PC for like $600-700 so I wouldn't advise it. Even if building it yourself costs the same for the same specs, they often cut corners on the PSU, mobo, and RAM, so you get higher quality components doing it yourself. Unless you use something like NZXT's BLD, they use off the shelf parts and assemble it and then ship it to you, from everything I've seen they're pretty awesome. IDK if it's just for the US or not though, or if they have options in your price range.

If your comfortable working with PC parts, then I strongly recommend building your own computer.

However, if you'd rather have a prebuilt, a Cyberpower system should suit you well.
