Honestly, $550-600 (I spent $520) will be something you'd want, otherwise what you're asking for isn't much. You're not really going to be able to do much at all with $400. Unless you want to cut very dangerous corners, but unless you're looking to play some weird indie games, don't expect top like triple a games to run great.

what's wrong with weird indie games

anything i can't play thats new on my pc will be played on my console.

fuck that i'm not spending 600 bucks wtf

There is nothing wrong with them, they're just obviously not much in performance

and if you're playing new stuff on console and just looking for the off the console game here or there (that isn't an RTS), then yeah you can manage more.

I'm shooting for something around $500 for you, but if you want something for $400, you might as well honestly just get some sort of laptop if you're not looking to play anything triple A tier that would otherwise be on console. You'd just be wasting your money otherwise.

i just enjoy the closed-mindedness of some pc gamers

you cannot accept the possibility that someone other than me simply doesn't care all that much about HD graphics or high frame rates

how about you just do what i asked instead of trying to do my thinking for me. there are variables you haven't considered or even know about.

To be serious though Verby-chan, I know not everyone cares about the HD graphics. Heck some of the games I play are deliberately lower just so I can have more/stable frames (Battlefield 1 mostly, the game is shit). The resolution thing though I won't accept on a monitor for myself because it feels like I need glasses. You can run proper resolution without it killing frames, they're not tied to one another.

Lol

well first, get the stick out of your ass, because I don't have to do shit for you. Second, why don't you tell me whats up so I can actually try to help you.

And sorry, but the laptop thing is a real thing. It might honestly be better for you. It's not me doing thinking for you, it's me trying to tell you what the heck is happening so you don't feel like you waste money. Forgive me if I'm trying to actually help you get the most out of your budget. I know I'd be furious if I felt like I got ripped off or wasted money.

well, not when you unironically suggest him a $600 build after being told that he's not interested in spending that much money, regardless of what it's capable of

What? You said no in regards to frames and my Dark Souls thing was a joke. Not the $600 thing.

Besides I said $500. Not that it matters.

What? You said no in regards to frames and my Dark Souls thing was a joke. Not the $600 thing.

Besides I said $500. Not that it matters.
you said two things that i had a problem with
- "you would not play it at 480p, I can tell you that right now" (telling him what he wants)
- "much to Verbs triggering, idk if you've played it yet but high frames will be something you care about down the line" (again, telling him what he wants rather than just listening to him)

apparently these were jokes, but they also happened to be your only two justifications for the pricey build, because you went on to say that you don't want him wasting money on a "piece of shit," right after being told (repeatedly) that he doesn't care

i just don't really understand
