Best Desktop Computer ~ $250

Hi all,

I'm looking to set up a cheap home office and need a desktop.

It's going to be used primarily for word processing and web browsing (but I would be open to upping my budget a little for something that could run Football Manager).

I've looked at a few posts, but I find the specs quite confusing to understand. I'm open to learning if anybody can ELI5.

These seem well received:

I've messaged Calmago to see if he has anything more available, but I'd also love some advice.

Thanks,

nkrdlyk

      I have, just unsure if there are any standouts there at present.

    Do you ever intend on playing any other games?

      Got to have that yearly fix of non-league to legend.

      I think this might be the first year since CM 00/01 that I don't buy. Or temptation will get the better of me…

      But seriously, OP, if you play with 2D you can play FM on pretty much any old potato. And everyone knows, 2D is the only way to play…
