Looking to buy a gaming PC for $600 or under, where can I get a really good deal?
I'd rather not build one myself.

    Seller refurbished PC from ebay, then add a low profile 1050ti

    An Xbox One X

    Building one yourself is the best option.

      Minimum 1.3k inc Win 10

    Basic, (and i really do mean basic) gaming pc cost is minimum $800, and that's not including kb/mouse, windows and monitor.
    That would play most games on lower settings with a entry level i5, 8gb ram, and 1050ti, but i wouldn't recommend it.

    2nd hand you might find one for $600, but again i wouldn't recommend it.

    Save some more $$ (probably about $1500), or buy a console.

      A refurb i7 like the Dell optiplex units often on here when ebay does a deal with 8Gb are around $240 inc windows. Add an SSD for the OS and a low profile 1050ti and you are under $600.
      Agree you can't play A titles on full settings, but it is far from dire.
      The step up to $1500 is a lot of cash.

        Not sure if those things can house a graphics card. Aren't they the very small ones?

        If they can fit a graphics card and you can add an SSD, that's a great option. Not sure what motherboard they're using so be careful.

        • buckster on 20/05/2018 - 14:05

          Hence the low profile graphics card

    Gumtree PC. Just keep checking for a week and you'll find one that fits eventually

    Dell Optiplex 9020 + 1050Ti Low Profile. Decent Quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM and an SSD should do nicely for a while. Can add a HDD down the track if more storage is required. $464.25 after PULL5 eBay code.

    EDIT: You can also get models with an i7 for around the same cost, but they come with a HDD. E.g. this. Would only cost an extra $50 for a 128GB SSD (e.g. A400) and you have the 250GB HDD for game storage.

    Your local koreatown?

    High end games or just Tetris?

  • Axelstrife on 18/05/2018 - 15:02

    Yeah nothing especially if you dont want to build/semi build it yourself, your best bet is the buy a xbox one x/ps4 pro for that price.

  • ShannonN on 18/05/2018 - 16:37

    It really depends on what your idea of gaming is?
    What games do you play or want to play, how important is the graphical environment, load speed etc.

    Are you gaming online (multiplayer) as a must win very competitive player or a run of the mill player who just wants fun?

    If most of the games you play are available on a console and great graphics and speed of load isn't a factor, getting a console may be the best option.

    If you need a PC to play the games you want there is nothing in that price range that will play at decent framerates and high graphics out of the box even as mentioned refurbs will need either a video card u/g or an SSD to make them better suited and given you DONT want to build a system maybe that's not an option.

    Evaluate your needs repost a few clues and the community can advise

    Best of luck getting something suitable

      You cannot build a new gaming PC for $500, especially if your looking to get a keyboard/mouse/monitor. Only option is second hand market. Can you be more specific about your goals? What hardware do you need? What quality do you expect to play on, and at what resolution?

    • Presence on 19/05/2018 - 16:58

      Lenovo M92P (with an SSD, i5 and 8gb) and 1050Ti might just make the budget. You won't do better. Look on eBay

    This will go on a 20% off sale in 3 days (code: PASSWORD)
    Come with 1year warranty

    Trust me, try to build one for yourself. Then you know what components you need to replace every now and then (or if for some reason some part gets fried).

    This way you'll save your own money trying to upgrade your computer, and make use of parts for a long time if you know how to maintain them (a lot of people don't know how to maintain and clean a PC hardware wise).
