I needs a new computer.

[Xanast]

Title says it all. I'm looking for an AFFORDABLE (approx. $300-$350), FAST, HIGH STORAGE SPACE (at least 100 GB, but higher would be good!), and I want it to be good with high-end games (Spore, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., etc.) I'm a PC, so, anyone have any ideas?

[bombmaniac]

no...youre looking for a pipe dream. no computer for that price can play high end games.

[Sean]

To be honest $300-$350 is just not going to buy what you want...

$600-$650 may just do that...

[bombmaniac]

indeed. for recent high end games you need a minimum of a dual core processor running at at least 2.66 GHZ, 2 GB RAM, and the equivalent of an ATI Radeon 4770....and thats just the minimum requirements.

what

if it's a desktop, you can definitely run hawx on a 300$ machine. you don't have to shell out 2k for a kool kids gaming pc with leds everywhere.

possibly but it would require quite a bit of shopping and a secondhand computer

[newschooled]

Do you have the time and resources to do a build? Best way to have performance and save a few bucks.

[bombmaniac]

yes but even that has a baseline...i doubt you could assemble a goodf enough system for high end games with only $350

he said "high end games like spore and hawx" which aren't really high end games at all

350 is enough to run few year old stuff like that. of course if he wants to play crysis 2 or something like that it's just unreasonable

[bombmaniac]

you mean hawx 1 or two?

but buying a new pc that wont run any of the newer stuff doesnt sound like a good idea. a month from now a game you like might come out and you're stuck on a shoddy budget pc

[bombmaniac]

which was my point earlier...hed need to spend at least 650 maybe even 700 to get something that will game for more than 5 months...but once you spend that much you may as well just do a build...more for your money

I FORBID you to reccomend an eMachine to ANYONE.

Seriously, I have personally owned one and a mate owned another. BOTH TIMES THEY BROKE ABOUT 1 time a month and needed to be replaced after about 8 months.

Please, DON't WASTE ANY MONEY ON THIS!

[bombmaniac]

oh i know that eMachines are shite...but then again he wanted something for $350

[Xanast]

NO, I meant it should be able to RUN them, albeit on low graphics settings. Sorry for the confusion.
