Hey guys, so I'm relatively new to the pc gaming community and so far ive been playing on a laptop and i havent been able to play a few games ive wanted to.. Id like to play games such as planetside 2, dayz, and rust. It doesnt matter whether its a laptop or a desktop and i want it to be relatively close to the $400-$600 price range. Any tips for a computer i can get? thanks!

dayz and rust with a $600 budget???

is low-minimum settings in the 30fps range good enough for you?

Lenovo Y510P is a good budget gaming laptop, it isn't very powerful but it isn't very expensive either

I have the y410p and get 30-60 fps in battlefeild three on high ultra settings and 45-60 on a modded to hell Skyrim. Lenovo has the new y series (y 40 and y50) check those out. :)

At least save up to a grand so you can get high ultra settings.

A grand will get you medium settings at 1080p 60fps.

i would rather have lower fps and higher graphics. Personal opinion 30 fps is playable and I like a pretty setting. :)

Constant 30 fps is playable. Inconsistent 30 fps with lag spikes and frame drops along with excessive screen tearing is not playable. Because that's what watchdogs is.
