What graphics card on PC?! Help!!

[Flippin' Chicks!]

Hi! I'm new to House Flipper and I've been loving it on the Xbox One... but I've just bought the PC version so I can get the DLC and the update coming in May.
My laptop doesn't support gameplay so I'm looking for a new PC that will and I'm looking specifically for Pcs that have the graphics cards mentioned on hera as a minimum (GTX 560 or AMD R7-260x) ... but other Pc's which have other graphics cards say they're gaming Pcs (they would work for games like Fortnite etc) so I'm wondering if anyone knows if anything except the min requirements listed on here would work?
I hope that makes sense! I'm not massively techie and I'm new to all this! LOL! Any help would be much appreciated :) x

what kind of budget are you working with?

Theres googles stadia also but I have never tried it and don't know it's free limitations. I think it's not as good as geforce now.

Thank u! Google Stadia doesn't have the game :(
Do you know of any others like Geforce Now? x

Amazon is getting a gaming service.

There's been speculation that Steam might be getting one also but that's just rumors so far.

Microsoft has Project X Cloud but it looks like it's tablet and phone only now during the preview test.

Dont buy PC that has weaker graphics card then GTX 1650 or RX 570, preferably something with GTX 1650 Super or RX 580.

The one I'm looking at has a Nvidia GT710 2GB graphics card. Would that be ok? All the other specs are min requirements listed on here or higher x

No, and just build a desktop PC. What you buy online pre-built will either be junk, overpriced, or both.

You want at least...
Ryzen 1600 CPU
GTX 1660 or RX 5600 GPU
2x 8gb RAM
At least one SSD
550W gold certified PSU
ATX Case with good options for 120/140/200mm fan size placements

Win10 64bit via your own usb flash drive.

Thanks for all the help! <3
I can't build a PC from scratch and I can't afford anything that sounds like it would work :( So I guess I'm on one hour slots on Geforce Now 4 the moment until Covid-19 goes away already so I can get back 2 work!! LOL! Or until the HF DLC comes out on Xbox One :)
Thanks guys x

ok stupid suggestion, i know not all people can build pc from scracth. should you buy new pc, dont buy cheapest pc then you can forget about playing games.

Why can't you build one from scratch?

Then they learn. Not knowing isn't an excuse to buy pre-built garbage or bad used deals.

Ok let’s use your logic, instead of me buying a prebuilt car or used car I must build my own car when people don’t know how to build a car. Firstly they can buy a prebuilt computer and go from there. A person who don’t know much about computers can do more harm then good, especially with the processor And the heat sink or if they buy incorrect components

Building a computer is a million times easier than building a car, so that's a pretty bad comparison to go by. People call it adult lego because things only fit in one place in one way. There's also hundreds of video guides on how to do it on YouTube.

People on the forums can choose parts for them and there's sites like PCPartPicker specifically to rule out compatibility issues. Stores like Micro Center can help you as well.

There's little to no excuse these days, the only reason people wouldn't do it is blind and unwarranted fear of trying something new and learning new things. But as long as you use common sense, there's no way you'd screw it up. Even the mindset to take care alone is enough to not break anything, but you'll find after a few builds that the fear of breaking something is silly, because the only fragile parts of the system are the CPU or socket pins (depending on manufacturer) and wiring.

Ok bad comparison but by the end of the day, I got friends who works in the IT field and I myself seen it as well, you will be amazed how many times people screws it up with building a pc. Processor pins bent, incorrect ram bought or incorrect stuff, and the person of course don’t have a receipt for the stuff. So it is not as easy as saying they can learn

Quite frankly, that's their fault for not using publicly available resources and common sense. It's not an actual example that everyone is going to mess it up like that.

You don't manhandle the CPU, period. You don't break or bend pins if you're using your head.
You're supposed to use motherboard QVL to choose RAM kits to rule out potential problems for that exact reason.
You do your research and use sites with compatibility filters just as insurance at the very least to make sure that there shouldn't be problems.

If people with experience are screwing up like that often enough, then there's a problem with them specifically. There's zero excuse in 2020 for not doing things correctly when there's thousands upon thousands of guides, videos, and other resources to utilise to get the job done correctly the first time.

dont get me wrong, i do agree with you that a person must learn and using logic when building comptutrs, but thats why i rather suggest they buy a prebuild computer, not a cheap one, then upgrade part by part and learn from there.
With all the info in the internet, youtube videos, manuals and so on, you will be amazed that people will still screw up one way or the other. its like givings someone directions to go from point A to point B and its pretty much a straight line, but people will still screw that up.

I only see purpose for pre-builts when it's just a simple home or office PC. With pre-built gaming PCs they often cheap out on things like the PSU that you'll have to spend money on anyway, and you've already spent more than it would cost to build it yourself or have someone do it at Micro Center with better quality components.

Vendors like Micro Center are really good for the inexperienced, as is NZXT's BLD service.

thats where i disagree with you. i pretty much using a prebuild computer right now and it runs games awesome. i mean if i can play games like gta 5, Doom and so on with no problem and not lowering graphics settings but increasing it to max, thats a win for prebuild.

Prebuild computers also comes down where you go to, i mean if buy by shops what mass prebuild then you will have cheap stuff, but thats why i suggest not to buy cheap prebuild.
