Hello, all! I am looking into buying a new PC. My current one is about 8 years old—pretty much a relic in terms of technology lol. I own an e-commerce business so I can write off the PC expense. However, I am cheap af and am not really a gamer. I only play D2. Would it be possible to find an already built PC that can play D2R at medium-high settings for about $500? I can’t justify paying more as like I said, I am not a gamer and I am cheap af. I have looked at a few sites but the terminology is a bit out of my realm.

Thank you in advance to all!

Video Card Minimum: 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7850
CPU Minimum: Intel Core i3-3250 / AMD FX-4350 or better
Ram Minimum: 8 GB
OS Minimum: Windows 10 64-bit
Disk Space Minimum: 30 GB

That being said you can go buy a prebuilt on Negg for around 1k to 2k max and easily run this no problem.
There is the specs needed so focus on going higher than the minimum when buying.
Good luck :)

Here is a simple example you can buy type it in AZON / New Dell G5 Gaming Desktop, Intel Core i7-10th Gen, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super, Black

147k fg but wont spend $2000 on a pc think your ass backwards my man
$500 is a laughable budget for a pc maybe like a 12 year old that asks his parents for one and thats what he gets

Nope. Spending that much money on a toy is a waste. I would rather invest it into something that will turn a profit.

It looks like you are the one that is ass backwards if you would spend that much on something like this.

I’ve already found a more than good PC for $700 that I may go with but thanks for your useless comment.

I agree. I did find one for $700 that should easily run the game at medium settings. That is good enough for me. I’ll probably get it.

Thanks to everyone for their input!

Yes, thank you! That is what I am seeing too. I saw a rig that can easily run it at medium settings for $700. So far, that is the best option I’ve seen.
