Someone help, I need a good desktop or even laptop for $200 or less, just for my son for Christmas. He likes to play mine craft, world of Warcraft, and wizards 101

$200 is almost impossible. :(



/e You will be looking at a refurbished at that budget.

If you are absolutely gonna stay with $200 budget, I would go to Best Buy and get a refurb laptop.
Something like this perhaps...

It's gonna struggle with WoW (definitely) and possibly Minecraft...not sure.

You're going to need to dive into used stuff on ebay mostly. I recently built a rig with an i3 550 and a gtx 750 ti 2gb for 200.
Runs any game out there :) (it was mainly built for my sister to play fallout 4, which she runs at ultra settings 30+ fps with this build)

The i3 was 10 dollars, mobo was 30. Gpu was 70, ram was actually free for me, as i was donated 6gb so it has that.
The i3 was actually the idea of a guy on youtube who specializes on the best used hardware for the buck.

its a little old but mostly all still accurate, although not necessarily comprehensive.

If you need more info let me know, I sort of specialize in paying bottom dollar for desirable performance :)

You're not going to get anything that will play WoW for 200$.

Give him the 200$ as the present.
