Harlikwin Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 If there is a microcenter in your area it might be a decent idea. I basically bought one of their "office" rigs, but really all I did was drop a 2080ti into it and boom, insta high end gaming rig, the GFX card cost 50% more than the actual computer. I priced it out and component wise I couldn't beat the price if I had hand built it. Otherwise since I got it I threw in more RAM and for peace of mind upgraded the PS for future proofing/overclocking but it ran fine with the stock PS.

Any good ideas on refurbished desktops and what price range are we looking at for a good uaed or refurbished gaming desktop? Alternatice to that what is around for 400-700 USD? I think the best investment would be to build something similar to the PC in this guide for $580 that uses mostly new components and a used GPU which in this case is an RX 580. They can now be found used for around $100. Now if you want to go even cheaper and refurbish something older with a few new parts check this build out. Just make sure the the system has at least an SSD, 16GB RAM and a decent GPU like an RX 580 8GB and it should run DCS pretty smoothly at 1080p. Edited April 26, 2020 by Evoman
LuckyFromArma Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 For $700 U.S. you can build a new system off Amazon or Newegg. Get a X570 MB w/AM4 socket, and an entry level AMD processor like the AMD 3400g or AMD 2600. You can upgrade later all the way up to the Ryzen 9 3950x on the AM4 socket. You won't have much of an upgrade option with a referb.
