Computer help
My team is looking for some good computers that can run cf, live stream, bandi at good fps, and listen to music at the same time. We really want something that is fast and around 400-600$.
If you could show us a few at the top and bottom of our range then explain what is good and different about them we would really appreciate it

This doesn't include the cost of an operating system. If you use components from your current PC you most likely can get away with just updating the core components (cpu, mobo, memory, gpu). -

get on xfire please -
Yea, but this game is complete sh*t, and I'm probably assuming the player isn't looking for a computer than can play Diablo III on max settings
Even in crossfire that wouldn't get over 200 fps. Doesn't take much to run d3 on max settings, when I had a gtx 560 ti I was able to run it on max. -
