Affordable pre-built PC to run the game ?

Hey all! ~

Just wondering if you guys knew of any pre-built PCs that can run MEA. I'm kind of scared and unwilling to build my own but I also can't afford to pay 1500 bucks for a PC with spec requirements that high. I've been looking for relatively cheap (600 USD/800 CAD and under) PCs but so far I'm not exactly finding anything. Might be hopeless but I thought I'd just shoot a question here.

Thanks ~

    Notice that AMD processors have somewhat poor performance in games except the new Ryzen line of processors.

    My pc is 4 yrs old and it runs ME:A fine.  Only thing i've added lately is an RX470 8gb ram ver.

    All you need is a 4 core cpu i5 mid range.  Basic motherboard, 16 mid level ram. You could easily build one for $400 or less.

    While I basically agree on the specs (see my post and calculation bottom page 1), it was asked for a pre-build if possible. And Windows alone costs about $100 ...
    The best I could see is $600, with a Ryzen 5 and RX 470 / or 1050ti.

    Unless one

    • a) can simply re-use existing parts form an old PC (like case, power supply, cables, maybe hdd and windows) and pays a Pizza for assembly.
    • b) looks for a used 2-3 year old gaming PC.
