Everyone suggesting to get a PS4 due to budget constraints.
Everyone suggesting to get a PS4 due to budget constraints.
Your budget is $400 since your partner plans to spend that on Christmas gifts for you. They mentioned a PS4 because they think you might be expecting one, even though you already have a 7-year-old laptop. You’re looking for something better than what they suggested, but you want a low-end PC that’s at least 2% improved. What do you think about upgrading to a more capable machine?
The optimal choice is to keep a bit more until reaching the $600 limit. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qf7VCJ You'll appreciate it.
