My old comp finally crapped out after 9 years. I'm currently using a office desktop from 2011, not exactly the best for gaming :D


The only games im looking at playing are D2(resurrected) , world of warships, and maybe getting a more recent civ than civ V. Everything else I play is pretty much 20 years old and could be played on a potato.


The videos I've watched on what a good comp for d2r is have a few problems

1: There seems to be a lot of back and forth on if the cheap ones can run it
2: the cheaper ones suggested are sold out.
3: people seem to be worried about rgb lights



I'm illiterate to the different specs on computers, so saying "find a xxxxx graphics card or better" means nothing to me.

I built my previous comp (others on this site picked the parts for me), and would be fine building one myself, but have heard that graphics cards are stupidly expensive for any of them that can do anything at this point.
If that is not the case and i can currently build one cheaper that will play d2r thats fine aswell.


Requirements- Able to play d2r, 1tb+ storage, if not 16gb of ram+ I would like to be able to upgrade it. Hdmi port

Preferences - Easy to open and clean internally (I have cats, so hair is an issue), fairly quiet fans. integrated wireless receiver would be a bonus, but by no means something id pay extra for.

Size doesn't matter, will be building a custom desk after i get a new one.

Already have speakers, screen, mouse/keyboard.


Budget for an outright buy, $1,000-$1,200
Budget for monthly payments-$150-175.

If the place that I buy from reports to credit agencies that's a plus aswell, working on building my credit up a bit. I appreciate any help.


*edit* I did come across this video, and was wondering if any of the 1080p comps he has listed in the description would work for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEE3s9QLfLE

that 1080p computer in the video is definitely your best bet. i7-11700, 16gb gtx 1660 super for $1,149. the only issue is 256 gb ssd.. but u can work around that probably

Unfortuneatly that one seems to no longer be offered. he has a more up to date list of similar options in the video description. Those are the ones that are currently available

i dont know much about ryzen cpu

but the 2060 one seems still good (better gpu not as good cpu)


but of them all i'd pick the 1200 one (even tho he says its for 1440p) https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali570/p/N82E16883360205?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PC+Builder+Youtube+Channel&AFFID=3679186&AFFNAME=PC+Builder+Youtube+Channel&ACRID=19415764782&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=3679186&ranSiteID=PsA_2LYJiqA-qWrxwqSZxwXXgoea4HfQTw

well you should ideally wait for someone else to reply im not the best but prebuilts are easy to understand so i can post links.. if your willing to wait maybe email that supplier and ask them about the stock.

or you could go with..
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali524/p/N82E16883360129

or
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali587/p/N82E16883360222

any of these pc's will play what you need easily
