What would be a cheap but good setup for Black Ops 3 on PC?
So, my PC is absolute garbage, and I want to play Black Ops 3. I already know I need a new one, so please go to pcpartpicker.com and make a setup that is cheap but good enough to play BO3. Max budget is 500 dollars. I just want to be able to run it, no 4K stuff. Just 1080p60fps or something close. Send me the link once you are done. Thanks in advance

Cheap and good do not go together.

A budget gaming machine is around $1000. You may get it under if you can find the parts on sale or find a pre built one (store bought) on a good sale, typically around $800-$1000. This time of year is probably the best but the deals haven't really started or they are just starting. May want to wait a few weeks unless you see a good deal then buy.

How about just answer his question..?

i3 proc dual core LOL, i think i died laughing on that.

DDR4 2133 is sh*t, better off sticking with DDR3 if that's all your getting since 2133 doesn't offer much if any benefit other than a name change.

A bronze PSU, why, get gold, they are much much better and last damn near forever.

Some of those companies are shaddy, stick with Neweeg, Amazon and B&H.

1TB hard drive, slow as dirt. Go with a SSD, plenty of them are under a $100. Use that to load windows. I would and do only use a 1TB as a back up drive, they are to slow for todays standards.

I wouldn't use a AMD card but that's me. I would use a Nvidia card, 1060 if you want new stuff but cheap, still very good for gaming.

1060 would be out of ops budget. plus a wd black isnt that slow. he could add an ssd later down the line. ofc he could just a used i5 and a cheap 960.

No, it wasn't. His question was what kind of parts/computer can he get for cheap that will run BO3. All you did was complain about a computer over $1000 and how he shouldn't bother. Pretty rude imo.

Hence why I told him from the very beginning what a budget gaming machine costs. Also why I am not doing something he can do himself.

Your just pretty stup*d and apparently uneducated. I didn't complain about anything, he was shown what a budget gaming machine costs plain and simple.

@Texas Except everything you said is completely wrong and just plain humurous. A budget gaming PC goes as low as $600. Proof? Come take a look at my friend's PC. You are doing nothing but being rude to everybody in this thread and giving information that doesn't help anybody.

LOL LOL LOL

I never said you couldn't get one. Why would you though? It would be pointless. You can walk into most stores n buy that crap but it never runs good or what someone told them it should run like. Cause they listened to ppl who don't actually know anything about computers, they clicked on parts to get him to his number which is not even close how gaming works.
But go ahead please by all means give him your computer build so he can rush out n build it ROFL

This just goes to prove how poor your reading skill is. I clearly never said "my build". My build is more than capable of whatever I want. You should go back and actually read what I said instead of skim over it. I'm more than sure everybody here has already reported you, too.
