As topic states, I'm looking for a PC that can run overwatch. I like to play with the gfx on low and a minimum of 100fps. I've been playing on my friends Alienware which is awesome but I'm not dropping 1k plus on a computer...I'm also not looking to build one. Options under $600 plz
 
You will be hard press to find a gaming PC that is already built for $600. Building isn't hard. All you need a screwdriver, a wooden/metal surface, and probably an hour and half of your time. Not to mention, you need to include a monitor, Windows, keyboard, and mouse. $600 is not going to cut it.
 


It doesn't have to be brand new I'm fine with a used PC as long as it's already put together.
 
I understand, but still man. But you are probably better off looking at eBay. Anything with a modest FX8350, i3-4xxxx should be able to handle it. As far as the graphic card, a RX 460, 1050 Ti, or even a 7970 should be able to handle it as well.
 
It can run overwatch, but it is very old parts. The only reason Overwatch can run on it is because Overwatch isn't resource heavy. Hoenstly, I would not pay $500 for that. 4GB of RAM? 265GB of hard space...mechanical at that. I really recommend building your own. It's not hard. But if it is too much, then this PC would work. Again, don't expect this PC to run many other games (i.e. the new COD, GTA V, etc)

overwatch, maxed out.
 
Im not interested in giving advise that i cant stand behind.
its a fact prebuild pcs, tend to give you troubles later on due the lack of quality and bloatware.

Nevertheless, i would go for luco his prebuild if op refuses to build his own pc.
 
I don't like the HP option so much as I've had proprietary stuff before and ran into issues with replacing PSU's and stuff. I'd rather have a standard prebuilt custom PC. The i3 option looks nice since everything is newer I'd at least have an upgrade path if I ever get off overwatch but it also costs more than what I'm looking to spend. Maybe I should put a lowball offer for that myoelectric one. maybe $400?
 
You're dead on about buying branded, it can bite you in the ass later. But if you're happy doing PSUs and stuff why not go a bit further and build one?

That myoelectric is 5 cpu generations behind the i3 machine, why not try lowballing the i3 pc instead?
