Okay, so here is my situation.
About a year or two ago, I was new to PC gaming, and unknowing of the specifications that would be required of me, I bought an ASUS K42jc Laptop, thinking I could play any game on it.
I couldn't have been any more wrong, I spent $850 for this Laptop which has very limited graphics capabilities, and it just isn't doing the job.
Is there a way I could sell laptop for a portion of what I bought it for, and along with some, but not too much, more money I can collect, can I build a machine that will fit my needs?
Also, I was mistaken on the fact of buying a Laptop, I thought it would be useful to have it be portable, but it stays in the same spot all day, so I would like to build a Desktop.
I would be willing to buy a machine, but my fear is that the prices will be greater with buying a brand name, and I am trying to make this project as frugal as possible.
I don't need my built machine to be a computer-god, but I need for it to at a minimum, play games that are coming out right now, and I would also like a machine that will be able to play current games for quite some time.
Thanks for any help in advance!
