tbh as games are advancing, its allways best to try and get the best PC you can afford based on graphics, I have lots of ram and 8 cores, ok I don't need the cores but they are there, also a good graphics card is a must, I had my pc built, it wasn't shop bought. I know it all comes down to budget etc etc, but I paid about £1000 pounds, bit this comp should last 3 yrs maybe 4, but I reckon for 500 pounds built around graphics and ram would get a good set up, or upgrade what you have, they playstyle on a good pc/laptop is so rewarding and for me with settings on full is a really good visual experience, gl with sorting problem out.
