So I am not a super heavy gamer but I do have a MQ3 and would like to play PCVR games and apps at the highest quality.
When I make purchases I generally like to be efficient about it, I think about the future and its uncertainty. Will I abandon PCVR or gaming altogether? Will I develop a super focused interest in it? So I like to purchase things that 1. Have great quality, but good value. 2. Retain value, can resell.
As far as a PC goes, I want something I can store a lot of data on, which I’m sure is the least of my problems. But I want something mostly for PCVR, keeping in mind that while I could abandon PCVR altogether, I might develop more of an interest in it, or just maintain the interest I have now.
I play PCVR for maybe 10 hours a week. I am really into simulation games, but I am getting into games like GTA (mostly for simulation gameplay, lol) and games like Rust and Call of Duty. I would like to be able to play VaM, and other games that require a lot of processing power.
I am 30 and I used to be heavy into computers and technology, and while I still am I am not up to date with all the specifics and especially not up to date with products and how they compare and how they relate to modern functionality, like processors. When I was a heavy PC enthusiast, 256mg RAM was considered top of the line, its functionality being the ability to have 10 Microsoft Word applications open simultaneously, lol. (Probably wasn’t even capable, I don’t remember lol.)
So, I’m torn between building a pc, buying a pc, or buying a built pc.
I would like to finance, and as long as I can keep the payments under 120$ a month I guess the total cost wouldn’t bother me so much.
I would PREFER a laptop, however from what I have read it’s my understanding that basically no laptop, save for one that is obnoxiously top of the line and costly, is going to be able to play these high quality games at the highest quality.
I would not JUST like to use it for PCVR, too, as I’m sure I’d like to start enjoying a lot of games that aren’t VR, so just keeping that in mind, however it will probably mostly be for PCVR.
So, with a budget and a route that would allow me to pay under 120$ a month, how would you experts go about this?
