Looking to have two new cpus at my lake house and ranch. Could someone direct me to a good solid system to run this game at normal settings. Budget is $800 and below for each..
Thanks

Have you considered getting a laptop that you can bring to your various locations?

Check these out. My son bought one and is very happy with it.

They are Ok in a pinch, but becareful..... One of my nephews got ripped off buying one of their Gaming PCs.... Had Windows 10 Pro, but came with just 1 8GB stick of system ram and Windows 10 would barely run on it and the GTX 970 4 GB GPU listed was actually a GTX 760 2GB GPU...... I ended up giving him $500+ in system ram and videocard and tweaked his windows 10 for him........ibuypower refused the return and he had only had it 3 days...his Mom paid almost 1 grand for the system.......YMMV
Food for thought
Hope this helps

I believe you can buy them through Best Buy. In that case you deal with the store and not ibuypower.
When you buy these "built" machines they may change some items by they are usually pretty equal replacement parts they use.

I kinda saw myself being shut in for a while a few weeks ago and started ordering some parts for a new PC figuring it'd give me a project to pass the time. Just finished putting together a 3900x build that replaces my c2011 2600k build and should get me the next bunch of years down the road. Pretty nice bump in performance! It's not very hard to build your own PC. Seriously, if you can run a Phillips head screwdriver, you can build a PC. Cheaper too and with parts you spec yourself. Google is your friend. PC parts picker is your friend--it'll warn you if you select incompatible things. Shop for deals on your parts and save a few more bucks. It's actually a lot of fun. At least for me. I'm a wrench turner generally but the geek is strong with me!

From this point forward I will just get in touch with Puget Systems and tell them what I want my new system to do. I don't believe I would limit them to a specific dollar figure though. They actually do system configuration tests until they find the optimum system for you. Sure beats doing all the research you can and then hitting a bottleneck.

Just set up two systems. Both were Ibuypower and are up and running. So far they run smooth and sense they had identical system made it easy for running this game.

A little follow up on my previous post:
After going back and researching how my niece went about purchasing the ibuypower PC for my nephew, I found out she bought it through Amazon from a 3rd party.....with that said, whoever originally bought it probably stripped the parts they wanted then Pawnee the remains off to another party....ibuypower's reason for denial of return was because the customer name/address didn't add up to what they had on file.....and he only had it 3 days from the Amazon purchase.....it was actually 40+ days from the original purchase date from ibuypower....
Nice told me the only reason she didn't get me to build him one from scratch was because of the death of my Mom several months before she bought the PC before Christmas 2018.....
Heh, she has learned her lesson the hard way I guess.....
Good luck with those PC's , FX1

What a shame she got ripped off. So Amazon did nothing either I guess.

A complaint was filed but nothing became of it...... The person/company she purchased it from on Amazon is no longer listing any items....
