I've been gaming on my laptop for 3 years now; leaving my old desktop idle.
This is my new. custom-built budget gaming rig. Budget PCs were once considered "crappy" to say the least; unable to run video games. BUT NOT ANYMORE. This is a slideshow of my new $600 build...

Thankyou for watching! Comment 'n' Rate!
Double your performance for $800, but I suppose that's a bit too late.
