| Topic | Likely to be getting a new computer soon(ish) |

Not concerned about getting the highest framerate, nor about getting the highest possible resolution, but mostly with being able to play stuff without having to put all the graphics settings on minimum, especially games that have been released in the past 3/4 years. I could name one or two specific games I have in mind if neededyeah you're absolutely not doing any of that on the computer you linked. when people say pre-built, they meant something from like, ibuypower.com, not a used business pc. you're going to need a gpu, not intel integrated. getting a used business pc and trying to upgrade it isn't the worst idea out there, but it's also tricky. often times the power supply cannot power it, and the majority of the time you can't swap the power supply for something better, either, since the motherboard will be custom and require custom power connections. your best bet would be to hit up craigslist or facebook trade groups and look around. and if you do find something that looks appealing, ask someone to make sure it's actually worth it or not. one of my dumbass friends just spent $800 for a computer off craigslist, when the computer was only worth around $300. --- plop ...
