Mostly just for osrs and watching movies, don’t want a bunch of parts that I have to put together. Just a full desktop that will run osrs extremely smoothly. Big monitor please, wanna be able to play more than 1 account with little overlap and watch movies on the sidr

Sick of playing on toasters because everyone says “lol it’s osrs anything will run it at 100%” last 2 laptops ive had have been super slow and choppy running osrs 😑

I'd look at second-hand or used parts, craigslist or whatever is your local equivalent.

For a budget like that you could probably find quite a decent used machine from a few gens back that can run osrs butter smooth and any other gaming too.

Maybe try and look at machines with amd's ryzen processors, heard they deal with multitasking quite well.

500 cad wont get you a decent computer really.
Your biggest issue aint osrs however its more the watching movies + osrs at same time.

But as tank said look into secound hand computers most well quite good ones for cheap.

But Even better to save up more money. And simply buy a brand New that you can upgrade over time etc

For basic shit like google chrome/movies/RS - won't run actual games for shit though. - https://www.newegg.ca/dell-optiplex-7010-business-desktops-workstations/p/N82E16883995246?Item=9SIAKSHAJ63047


I'm sure I could find you a decent used machine on kijiji though if you provided me with your city that could run other games other than just scapes.

If you wanna play all the recent games, multitask while playing osrs and whatever at 1080p then yeah 1000-1500CAD for a pc + monitor should get you a damn decent setup.

I'd pick up harddrivekiller on his offer and use local sites that sell used parts and stuff, sometimes they're quite the goldmine.

I’ll deffs do that, reading through that $500 budget build, it’s $500 USD alone for the computer, not including keyboard and monitor :3 and I’m not really looking to build something either

Literally just looking for something I can play 2-3 osrs accounts on and watch movies on the side.
