Hello ladies and gentlemen!!  Well I may be moving back to where I may having internet.  With that said my old computer is fried.  I was looking  at new computers.  I am so confused. Brand names I have never heard off.   The systems have changed so much .  I looked at BB gaming system and I am not certain  that they would play games right out of the box.  I am kind of looking for a lower budget computer and gfx card...I dont want to spend a fortune.  If there are any suggestions out there it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I had my BB's made by Cyber Power in Ca. & had it shipped to me & upgraded as I had the spare change. I was going to buy all the parts & let a friend help me build it but I got a BB's built cheaper than the parts I wanted to buy.

The most important item is your case. You can always upgrade components inside but you need a case that has plenty of room for airflow. I have the cooler master HAF X full tower & have more than enough room with lots of drive slots.

Smile, check out the Alienware Alphs. I t is what I am runing bf4 on. I can run bf4 all settings on high with no trouble.
Just make sure you have 8gb ram and upgrade to an ssd.
You can find $100 off coupons from time to time and they go on sale frequently from either Dell, Best Buy or Newegg.
Make sure you look at the alpha and not their steam machine.
If you want to talk about it catch me on TS sometime and I can tell you about it.

Smile, all your going to need is a better video card. possibly a power supply.  I would suggest a Nvidia GTX 960 and up or AMD radeon 380 and up.  If I do end up upgrading my video card I can sell you my  Nvidia GTX 970 for a good price.   You can probably play most newer games at LOW settings with the card you have.
