Is this for indies?
a 860M is fucking useless

I can't find the actual graphics card in there anywhere, but judging by it being 2GB, it's shit
I guess for $400 it's okay, you won't be playing any AAA games on it or anything though
Lucas Jenkins
That's not even a "STEAM MACHINE" i.e. a micro-atx PC
it's a fucking cheapo outdated laptop ripped from an old alienware laptop from 2014 and put into a box.

Ah ok thanks. Do you think it'll run overwatch fine?
Mostly for a PC with some gaming on the side

It's to con idiots into buying Dell's leftover PC parts

Hey Sup Forums
I've never gamed on PC before and I'm thinking about getting an upgradeable prebuilt for just under 500, so that I can play a couple of shitty, non-intensive games at high settings. No 2017 AAA Crysis Remastered shit.
So is that acceptable if I literally only care about a handful of middling titles?

An user posted this before. Would be nice to get a second opinion
Gavin Robinson
absolute trash, he was probably trolling tbqh

What?

This one costs a bit more, but I got this rec from Sup Forums pcpartpicker.com
Thoughts?

It's better than a PS4/Xbone but not great for a PC.

I don't know how good the 1050ti is, but 550w is way to much. I've got a i5 6600 and a fury and only 500-550w. Nvidia is way more energy efficient than amd gpus. I would guess 300w are enough(but I don't know exactly)
Also get a good motherboard and 80+ gold psu.

Overwatch isn't very demanding, so probably
I was able to run it on integrated graphics for a month before I got my graphics card.
Mind you, my processor is an i5 6600k so I'm sure that helped
Chase Rivera
Here is a better build

>It's better than a PS4/Xbone
only if you install windows on it
SteamOS has no games
Brody Scott
imo I would have gotten the first one of these

The alienware uses laptop parts which is good for form factor but you won't be able to upgrade it later or anything
Andrew Taylor
Is it? What makes this better?

Here's one I came up with, there's some rebates involved and you'll need to figure out the rest from here, but this is a pretty decent foundation for a budget PC imo.
