I'm a single dad on a tight budget so I pretty much have to shop the trash bins of deals and sales.

All I do on the computer Is school work and world of warcraft casually. I don't require high quality graphics just smooth gameplay on low settings and I'm happy

https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16883287634

I saw this, and wondering if it's good enough for what I do. If not, is there another site aside from newegg which has good deals. Again, my budget is just simply the lowest cost I can get.

I know how to assemble a computer but I don't know how to shop for one. My current build has a hand me down tower 50 gb ssd and a decent graphics card I got a couple of years ago that I can apply to something

World of Warcraft on its own takes up nearly 50 gb ... that hard drive is simply too small ...

That computer will get away with low settings on wow and can browse the internet and do word processing .

Your call but it’s a piece of junk

didnt check if it can run WOW, but $80 for a refurb prebuilt is sort of a risk but hey its $80...

only 250gb hdd though, so you can fill it pretty quickly depending on what you choose to store.

lookup benchmarks for that APU and WOW


also didnt know many people still play wow... doesnt that cost a bit per month....?

I'm on a tight budget but I'm not poor lol. 15 a month over a year off of my Frankenstein PC is fine compared to spending 3-400 on a rig for a 13 year old game I play whenever I get some free time.

I have the money to buy a very nice computer on ultra settings but it would be severely irresponsible to spend it on that you know?

What are the budget friendly options then?

Christmas has been taken care of and next semesters money is put back so I can invest but only if it's a very good deal. Else I'll have to stick with what I have for now

As stated I can put a computer together and would honestly love too. I just don't know how to correctly sort and choose between the vast ocean of parts.

Motherboard & CPU combinations I browsed through were minimum 200 alone
