Would you buy a slightly used Gaming PC?
RFDers,
Just looking for some opinions. I have been out of the computer game market for a while and have been looking to get back in with these new, amazing games out these days. I loved BF2 back in the day and would like to play the new one, except there is no way my machine would handle it.
Here are the specs of my system:
Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.61ghz
2 gigs ram
Dell 22" 1680x1050 monitor
GT240 graphics card
only thing that is slightly newer is a 1.5TB HD.
My priorities have really changed since I have a one year old daughter, etc. Don't really game that much anymore so I don't want to invest in a $1000 system.
What would be the most economical build/way to play BF3 without breaking the bank? I really want to sneak in some gaming once she goes to sleep but I won't be able to sell it to my wife to spend too much cashola.
Is it worth it to buy a slightly used gaming rig? upgrade the parts of my current system?
Advice..
Cheers.
