P1999 PC

[tankh]

Hi all,

Could anyone please give me some advice on a PC for P1999 please. I gave my gaming PC to my son so I am just left with a case, monitor, keyboard and mouse. I only want to be able to browse the met and download movies and play P1999 with my new PC but do not want to spend a lot of cash on the new one. will it be possible to get up and running for £100 - £150ish or should I just get second hand PC of eBay ?

Thanks in advance

considering you need a CPU, GPU, MOBO, PSU, Memory, Optical drive, etc etc...$150 is gonna be a stretch to get one up and running...

You can get a decent APU from AMD for around $55 (the A6) it will run EQ flawlessly

depending on the case configuration, you can get an FM2 mobo to run that APU for around another $55

4 gig of ram around $35

decent PSU around $50

optical drive around $20

that's like 210 USD, which is what 140 or so pounds?

Its doable..with the right purchases. Just look around on newegg, amazon etc..

You can buy complete/full systems on newegg.com for the price range your talking that will run EQ with no issues, especially if your checking their daily deals.

I don't know the shipping concerns for you though being non US based.

Do I need a video card to play or is the onboard gfx ok ?

Thanks again for the help

any modern amd APU will run the game flawlessly, its intergrated to share cores and processing power between the CPU and GPU

Tankh,

check out the PM Turp sent me, likely meant it for you:

also check Newegg.com
Daily they have different shell shocker sales + lots of cheap computers on sale.
Like you can buy just a tower that is complete ready to play EQ for 200$ . If wait till they put one on shell shocker can prob hit 150$ .
Check it out.
Good luck.
Two examples i looked up quickly.
There are plenty others
For just EQ / Older games but max graphics still.

or if you want to play even the newest games like dragon age.

All kinds of deals like that on there check it out.


If you are not comfortable choosing the right MOBO for your case, or applying and setting a CPU with paste etc..go this route
