I'll try to keep the intro brief: I would like a Gaming PC and realize with some research that trying to upgrade my Compaq Presario CQ5700F is out of the question so I need to start brand new from the ground up.
I'm not trying to run Crysis, Battlefield, or what have you at fullscreen, 3D, super high settings. I usually play games Windowed since I Alt-tab between surfing the net, Winamp, or whatever. The two upcoming games I want to play are some dinky little MMOs that from reading comments about them apparently aren't that intense in graphics or processing power but my old Compaq can't even pass the Minimum requirements.
These are the requirements of the two:
Game 1
Game 2
I would prefer not to blow $1000+, I mean are those above requirements really that demanding on the wallet, is it possible make a workable Gaming PC for those two games around $600-800 or so? I was using PCPartPicker.com because the newbie friendly layout for putting parts together and was matching up some parts in terms of Video card, RAM, and Processor in a build but completely unsure how Power Supplies, Coolers, and Motherboards come into play. I would cross-reference the parts at Newegg since that seems to be the place everyone refers to. My goal is to be the most inexpensive in being able to play those two games, that's all I want to do.
Could the more experience tech people here help me with my goal?
