Hello! Right now I have a laptop with integrated graphics!
Oh fun!
Games like CS:S run fine. GMOD runs fine too. But non-source games run sooo slowly.
So I've decided to buy a desktop! Right now I have $350 dollars saved up. I know I will need WAAYYYY more, but what desktop do you guys recommend?
Maybe one that is less than $800.

Making someone's day a little better because of one of my models means a lot to me.

If you're willing to spend $800, why not build your own? A lot of people on here would be willing to link you to cheap parts, and you can put it all together when you get the parts. This could end up being way cheaper than buying a pre-built one from a manufacturer.

The deal is already over for the computer I put together, it was a barebones kits with some low end hardware, but I haven't had problems with it yet, except the initial setup (it was my first time putting a desktop together, and I had a couple problems that I soon solved thanks to the TGC community).

My name is Brian.
