Best gaming PC from a store for AH3

[Banshee7]

   What's the best,  middle of the road priced Gaming PC available from a store that will work well in AH3.   Graphics,  speed,  etc.   I have a very old PC and this stuff is not in my wheelhouse.   ( Bestbuy,  Costco,  etc...)    Thanks in advance

I wish I would've known.  I would have sold you my old PC dirt cheap.  It's overkill for AH3 but doesn't meet requirements for new games.

Unless your budget is restricted I'd go for what's considered a medium class "gaming" pc.

are you planning on dipping your toes into VR ? That will raise requirements a bit.

i bought a pre-built from ibuypower 2 years ago for around 850.

its got an rx 6500 xt with an i3-12100f and runs a lot of games fairly well. i do plan on upgrading to an 8gb graphics card soon, but the 12th gen processor seems to hold up pretty well since i dont run a lot of processes at once. i also limit myself to 60fps because i dont care much more for the extra frames. biggest upgrade it needed (and got) was from 8gb ram to 32gb, which only cost around 70 bucks to do.

a lot of new gaming depends on whether the game has been optimized or not. i run a new MMO on high and it works great. this card is older, but it does support a dual monitor output

I wouldn't upgrade this CPU unless it's for something very specific because I upgraded from this to a 12700 and saw less then a 10 fps increase in most of the games I play. Just an FYI
