If you're building your own you may want to go AMD over Intel. I recently got an an AMD with a built in APU at Microcenter for <$100. I use it to emulate console/MAME, and it's been working wonderfully.

Low budget computer needs

Play blizzard classic games and sc2 d3ros/uee

Smooth running while doing so

I suppose I'm a bit out of loop since 2008 on computer stuff

I'm trying to do a new computer or laptop under 350$

Is Windows 10 any good?

Any recommendations?


you could easily get a nice comp for that price...

If all you care about is Diablo/Starcraft 2, you can probably buy a new toaster oven and get shit handled.

You probably won't be able to find a computer for 350$ that will play games very well. You might be able to run at just above minimum settings if you find a good deal. (assuming you already have monitor, keyboard, etc. and that's not included in the 350)


buy used off CL and you can. I spent 300$ on a rig for a family member and it runs everything he listed max settings never under 60 fps(60hz monitor)
