Budget PC build under $450?
in Desktops ·
Hi there, I could use some help picking out a new PC. My usage is pretty specific: I only need it for FIFA 18 and general web browsing. I’m not just looking for something that barely runs the game; I want a machine that performs smoothly—essentially, the best bang for my buck. For context, here are the official recommended specs for this title:
Intel Core 2 duo E8300 2.83
Nvidia GeForce gt 640
or
AMD Phenom ii X3 700
ATI Radeon R7 7650 k
(both setups featuring 4 GB of RAM)
First off, I’m wondering if my logic for using these specs as a baseline is sound. I did some Googling, and it looks like these components are often bundled together, which makes it a bit confusing to find something comparable at a local retailer here in the States.
To wrap things up, I am looking for a desktop PC with similar (or ideally better) specs than what I listed above, available here in the US, for a maximum budget of $1000. Since I’m not an expert on current pricing, if my expectations are unrealistic for that amount, please just suggest the best possible option within my budget. Thanks in advance!
