What's a good prebuilt PC for dayz SA? $800 max budget

[Michael_42]

Hello guys I was wondering if someone could give me a link to a good prebuilt PC for $800 i will be using wired Ethernet so not really a need for wireless card. Would also prefer intel for processor. I know building a PC is much cheaper and better, but trust me I've tried to convince my dad but he won't give lol. But yes $800 is max budget, all I want is to run it on medium settings and that's it and if you can't
Find a PC that can do that than I'll take one that can run it on low settings but very smoothly. Thanks for help in advance. Any questions just ask.

This bad boy should run it pretty smoothly http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/CyberPower_Z87_i5_Configurator/
You'll be able to run on high settings at around 60fps in most games including DayZ

did you try dell? as long as you have a good graphics card, you should be fine. look for online coupons from dell, sometimes you can find a really good deal and even upgrade your graphics card with the knockoff.

The best you can get out of these two are GTX 750 Ti

This one comes with GTX 760, I think we know the answer.

This is a good build however it's over his budget and therefore unacceptable.

I think the OP can decide whether he wants to throw in his next month allowance or not

Agreed. But I prefer to keep within the OP's budget. Money can be tight and going over may not be a possibility.

I like this build as the most so far http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883258065 it is $40 over, I have plenty more money to chip it so it's not so much a big deal but I'm 14 and no allowance, lol. So the way I make is b-days and Christmas also by buying and selling so not trying to blow all my money here but $40 isn't to bad. I'll think on it but I want to see more answers.

if his dad will allows him to upgrade his graphics card seperate, he can stick in a junk graphics card stock, and upgrade a dell. were talking like over 250 dollar knockoff on computers, and it's instant. i saw that as the latest deal yet. although, sometimes it gets better, you have to watch the online coupons yourself. i remember getting this dell dual xeon computer with a 1,000 dollar knock off. only problem is you have to find a good deal and go looking for a coupon to enter in at dell. that's what my friend did too. and he upgraded his graphics card after. not sure if they have those good deals anymore, but i know they use to.

it's hands down the cheapest and best solution for his requirements.

and i can see where your dad is coming from, it's just cheaper, safer, and it's better to get a pre built. i have both and prefer prebuilts anyday. also, i fried so many parts it's ridiculous. just a headache to put one together too, not exactly fun.

oh also, my dell xeon has troubleshooting schemes with light colors, so you know exactly what's wrong with it. and dell support is far superior to custom parts and other companies. i've had flawless warranty phone calls that went well. but with other custom and companies, it's just a headache.

also, the coupon code is at 25 percent. so if you buy a 800 dollar computer, it's 600, and you have 200 for spending on a graphics card, but that's the worse case scenario i suppose.

again, games are graphics bound.

But I could go just a bit cheaper with less ram a little bit cheaper GPU and CPU, possible?

 

[alienworkshop]

if anything, i wouldn't go lower on the gpu, your going to need all you can get.

Yea, but that's the thing about pre-built. You get the best GPU you can that's within the budget, and the rest just comes along whether you like it or not. GTX 760 for around $800 is a pretty good deal, so I would just grab it while it last. It will do a great job for gaming.

Well I was also trying to include a monitor in my $800 dollar budget, lol so is there a pc prebuilt that's just a bit cheaper than this one? I know newegg has a lot of deals but I really didn't want to go over $900, any tips?
