Budget Priced Gaming Computers
All right, admit it, you like playing games on your computer. I know you do, everyone does. I do it … when I should be working. She-who-must-be-obeyed does it when she needs a break from working and everyone does, even us oldies.
But if you find that there are times when the screen freezes or the computer crashes then you’re probably trying to play a game that requires more resources than your machine might have. Those resources, things like more memory, a better graphics card and even a better processor do cost money.
If you’re into computer gaming you will know that when it comes to the price of a machine that will run all those games without the screen freezes and crashes then the sky really is the limit.
$US600 for a graphics card doesn’t even cause a hardened gamer to catch his breath and the gaming machine that my friend Rick has for sale down at Fraser Coast Computers for $A4000 is nothing out of the ordinary.
What is out of the ordinary is a good budget priced gaming PC and while you won’t find a manufacturer who supplies them ready built it may be possible to assemble on of your own for around $US500.

Maybe if you want to get serious about some gaming you talk to Rick - $US500 is probably not achievable here in Australia but you might find that just by upgrading a few components you can get more enjoyment and relaxation out of playing games
