Post subject:  A new computer!
So I am looking for a new computer at about 250$ or less.
I just want one that is fast, has good graphics for games, and one that runs CC well.


I only want to buy a tower, I have the other stuff.
Please suggest something, I know close to nothing about computers and would most likely buy a tower casing or something like that if it were up to me.

I'm not sure what you're smoking, but finding a decent computer for $250 is pretty impossible. It doesn't even really matter if you're buying prebuilt or making it yourself, that's a ridiculously low price range.

Well it does not have to be an amazing gaming supercomputer, I just want something better than my old
HP Pavilion 743c computer.

And quick, since just a few seconds ago the resolution and graphics messed up
while I was watching a music video, Creating the most amazing and unremakable semi-crash experience.

Slight problem.

A Core i3 costs 150 dollars.

250 dollars is an absolutely ridiculous price for a computer that is good by any definition. You can have a computer that's cheap, or a computer that's good. Not both, or at least, not to that ludicrous of an extent.

Aw come on. There has to be some computer that I can afford. My mom purchased a very nice computer
for just 200$ and runs CC blazing fast. I just want one that can run CC fast and that has a good graphics card.

So
A decent computer, not the 9001$ supercomputers y'all have.

Get the same computer as your mum. Price is an unreliable indicator of Cortex Command performance.

Alright, what are you defining "nice computer" as? Because I can't think of any computer that's "nice" by my standards that also costs $200. Save some money, build your own computer for $700, and stay happy for a while. That's what I did.

Heh, the 250 I can spend is what I have saved up.

Save some more, or get a job. Anyway, answer my other question. What is a "nice computer" to you?

I will try and save some more but a job for a 12 year old is out of the question.

A "Nice" computer to me is a computer that has a decent graphics card for games and has acceptable speed.

I don't really know the techy stuff due to me being a total noob to computers, but eh I tried answering =).

How about an example of what well known game you should be able to run with all graphics maxed.

No dude you can do paper routes. I'm pretty sure I did at 12 (though I might've been 13 or 14). I got paid 2.50 and hour but hey. Money is money is money.

Or you could deal drugs. I know this little kid, brother of a friend, makes a lot selling weed at the middle school.

And hey, cheers for being 12. You're older than I thought.

Note: don't do this. You said your mum's computer does all you need your computer to. Get another one of your mum's computer.

Or get a worse one than your mom's computer, then stealthily swap them.
