What would be a rather cheap PC that I could buy, that has the ability to run games at a decent quality?

My PC just exploded, sort of. I'm having to use a friend's laptop to post.

I'm going to be building a PC in a couple of months, but I'd rather have something to last until then.

Come back in a couple of months.

PC hardware changes so much in price over a few months.


Wait wat!?!?

Do you want a PC for now untill you build one yourself?

Also, PC's dont just blow up - That is unless you have a junky PSU in there.

Ill be honest you are better off waiting and having nothing and saving your money until you can build your own.

I already have a rough price for when I build one, and I know I'll have the money for it.

Xiggy - My PC was old and terrible.. it had out-lived it's time.

Don't buy a PC if you only plan on building one a few months down the line.

It seems like you have some money to throw away if you were planing on buying a PC to game on before you build a gaming PC.

If you can afford to start your build do that then save up for the GPU that will be your best option. If you can't do that and want some form of PC for the time then something like the raspberry pi, banana pi wont be a bad option, there super cheap and act like a full linux PC. Just don't expect to do much other than watch videos and browse the internet on them.

If i was you i honestly would just wait it out and in the meanwhile just buy a tablet and use it for youtube/ttg etc.. you might aswell save up your money for a better gpu.

I personally would rather wait it out. You will have extra money when the time comes to spend on it. I bought one last christmas and would be lucky to sell it now for 100 because of the upgrades that came out.
