I really want to play scout this season for fun. I need a 120hz + a comp that actually runs the game at 120fps if I want to play a class that actually requires aiming so leave a message if you have one.

The cheaper the better because I still need to buy a monitor (so basically as long as it runs tf2 at 1024x768 @ 120fps i'm happy) Thanksssss

Build a pc. Mine was 1250 but can run tf2 at 750-1000 fps with an i5 and 7870(? Not sure on the card) probably a but cheaper for just 120 fps.

Also most things recommend being able to run tf2 at 240 fps for a 120 hz moniter.

Edit: the 750-1000 is at hq settings with an fps config you could go even lower.

Do you mean Socal? I assume you no because Norcal sits right next to Oregon.

One thing I would say about logical increments is that they like to pile a fairly disproportionate amount of the budget into GPUs over the CPU. That makes sense for a lot of modern games, but with TF2 being so CPU tied it doesn't work out well. For example I have a GTX 660 in my own computer and it'll run 400fps on mid no problem, fuck I can run 3 instances of EVE on max graphics. However looking at the cheapest system on that site with a GTX 660, that'd really struggle to hold 241fps stable.

Pheeshwhat's your budget?

For cpu/mobo/ram I want to spend like 150-200 max. Probably unreasonable, but if I spend more than that I feel like i might as well buy an actual new/good computer... which I might end up doing, not sure yet.

Can you give us details on your gfx card?
Just wondering.

just buy a new pc if u have enough cash for it. Maximumpc.com has a list of what they consider the best budget parts I would work off that.
