Computer Help
Hallo everyone!
I just need some basic help, or just pointed in the right direction. My computer doesn't handle games very well and i was thinking about buying a new one. I have looked for a while and can't find a good one. Not really looking for a hardcore gaming computer, but just something that i can record with. "BUILD IT YOURSELF" I hear you scream . I really just don't want to build anymore computers. I built a few for my brother, and his friends (not with my money). If someone can point me someware to a good computer that is around 150 i will be happy... That's alot to ask for unfortunately. Any kind if help will help, I don't get payed to often and I don't think a 500 dollar computer is worth the time i spend on them. Anyway thanks....
P.S if you do find one, it doesn't need a monitor as long as its VGA i'm good

Have you tried Craigslist? Or whatever it's called. Since you don't wanna build them anymore, just buy a custom one.
Building your own will be the most economic way to go. But other than that, check out your local PC stores, check amazon and other PC websites.
Also windows 8 is fine.

Why would Windows 8 be bad?
Honestly, save the $500 or at least around $400.
There's a decent $350 one I found over at PCPartPicker.com:

The page also has a video on building it, if you don't already know how.

For a budget build, I'd go with a 750 Ti (it costs a bit more, but it has a lot of pros)
Thanks guys!

I just want an opinion...
Oh gosh,I died a little inside 3 times over.One for being refurbished,two for being pre-built,and three for windows 8.I understand that you don't want to build anymore computers,but honestly that's a good option.Also save up a few more paychecks,if you can wait for around 800 I can send you an awesome build.I believe KillerToad gave me feedback on it.It basically has high end parts for around 800.If you can't wait for 800,500 is the next option.I can still find a build for you for 500-600 dollars.It's all up to you though.
You can't buy one for 150 dollars that will play games, let alone record.... About the same for building.
I found one that's not the "best" not bad either... You think its a better idea to save a few more paychecks and get one for 500? Oh and you can, they won't handle well... the computer I have now was 76 and it runs but not good at all xD
xD Well, I mean, it's not gonna be what you want :b But if you save up 500-550, you can get a good pc, that has shadowplay (the best recorder)
I built a 450 dollar computer that can run almost anything on pcpartbuilder.com Why don't you try?
I don't know what you're trying to point out? Isn't that pretty much what I just said? Other than, the 500 dollar pc WILL run everything.
