If you want to go that route, why not just recommend a scratch build. For his budget, ~$600, he can have a decent gaming machine with a REAL graphics card in it.

Actually my limit isn't 600. I'd like to top it out at 800. Hopefully there is an all in one that can run those games perfectly that is 800 or less.

The processor? For the games you'll be playing, nothing. And medium specs look fine. It'll look as it would on a 360 to put it in plain terms.

Well then that is fine by me. All the games I listed should work pretty smooth? I don't really want games like BF3, Skyrim, or Day Z. I want the simple games I enjoy.

I could run killing floor on my old single core, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD machine about 3 years back 100% fine. That give you some dignity in your specs? Lol. Believe me, you'll be fine.

Thanks man. I'll have to learn more about PC before I get one. Maybe learn as I play.

You just need to look up what each part of the computer actually does, then go to multiple websites and find the best deals. Also windows 8 is terrible, so you shuold steer clear from that. The processor is the brain of the computer, so you want to focus on that.

WHY is Windows 8 so "terrible" to you exactly? It's identical to 7 besides the Metro UI. The desktop itself is still 100% the same. All Windows 8 programs are compatible with 7 as well. Just curious as I am still wondering why everyone hates it. Seems people hate change more than anything.

The games he listed are quite old, as old as '07 to my knowledge. Considering the processor listed came out about a few months ago and exceeds the games minimum requirements, I doubt he'll have any issues on his low end processor. It's not very wise to overclock on a compact heatpipe cooled processor either. Things end terribly.

the computer he was looking at gave him less for more $$. And you dont want to terrible overclock your computer, but if you get good fans you can overclock it a bit. The one i found is cheaper, leaving him room to get some upgrades.

A mini tower? He'd have to spend money on a new PSU guaranteed if he were to put a graphics card due to wattage limits in it considering it even fits in the small case. Either way, he'll be spending a good $150 on a decent graphics card and about $80 on a PSU. No logic in that.

...Plus he gets a monitor included.

If he's only running old Valve games it really doesn't matter.

Does it HAVE to be an all in one? Are you not fond of a tower? You can get much more bang for your buck if you build it yourself or buy a prebuild. My parents have an all in one in the kitchen and I understand compact and cleanliness can be a factor. :|

I'd just prefer an all in one for some odd reason. I was told if I could find someone to build a PC and tell them what I want it for and my limit it would be much better than an all in one. I just need to know where to go to build one.

Online sites do it for you. Pick the specs and be on your way and it'll ship home. Here's an example: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
