Iv been wanting to upgrade my toaster. I had a thread going in here for a build but I don't want to build it myself now. I have 2 boys under 2 years old and really don't have the time. Looking for;

Clean (nothing with crazy leds but if it has a couple that's ok)
Support dual monitors
Able to play Diablo 3 with ease
Upgradable

I have a minimum of $500 to spend on pc only. Maximum depends on the options of the pc but I don't really think I'd need to spend more for a prebuilt. I have everything else.

Shouldn't take more than 45 mins to put it together nicely imo

Not really any good $500 ones.

And all companies that make them use shitty power supplies. It's not worth the fuss imo

... but on a serious note.. you wont get much, or anything with decent quality especially prebuilt for anywhere under 600-750.. you can have some sites build the pc for you for a fee, i believe ncix builds for $50 additional?

or... just build it yourself.. as penguins said, it shouldnt take more than 45 mins to an hour tops.. (even if you only spent 30 min/day before bed or something.. i understand about little ones, as i have 2 myself; i still find the time at the end of the day.. and i typically work 18 hour days..

just saying.. your best option is to custom build to YOUR needs.. not buy a cookie cutter computer with inferior parts that will only break down sooner as opposed to quality parts in a custom build..


take a few minutes and build a partspicker list of your current build, and we will see what we can do for upgrades, if its even worth it?

There's a few sites that will put together your parts for you, For like a $30-50~ Fee.

That would be your best bet.
