hey guys, i was wanting some insight on an idea i had. but first let me set the mood. your a collage student with little money or your stuck in a low end job. your stuck playing on your old hand me down laptop and you like to play games like dota and other games like that. not too demanding but on your laptop, it can only pull 10 or so frames a second. your scared to build a computer and the cheapest "gaming" pc you can find is $400+ and that is just out of your budget. but then you come across a budget pc that promises to give you higher fps with higher setting in the games you like to play. example, league of legends on high at 35 fps or medium 60. and this pc only cost $200....... does this seem like a good deal to you guys? if you were in this position, would you be interested? let me know!

Yes and no. Firstly, I think that everyone should know how to build a PC. It's really simple and it means you'll understand how to repair it when things go wrong. Finally, post the specs of the PC here and we can advise you on his good it is.

if you trust yourself or a pal w/ building something ,

a H81 + G3250(or 58) 8gb ram and a GTX 750 (or R9 270x , wich is much better) fit well in the 200$ goal 

used of course 

RyzenAir : AMD R5 3600 | AsRock AB350M Pro4 | 32gb Aegis DDR4 3000 | GTX 1070 FE | Fractal Design Node 804

spec are not important. simply stated it will pull fps like i explained

 

Specs are completely important. It's the only truly objective metric of a PC. Anyone can claim that their PC runs certain games great but that doesn't mean anything.

Yeah I get it but what I'm saying is that it's super easy to do and there's really nothing to break unless you are really stupid and step on something. It's literally just screwing everything into a case and plugging in wires.
