This machine is prebuilt so you can just plug in and toast your enemies.
This can destroy anything you throw at it at a rate of 25BPM
So yeah, this will fit right on your desk's top and look lovely.
The best part is that it just fits into your price range!
So yeah, hope this helps

You must be a comedian.

Since OPs budget is $2000, you could put an SSD in there. It would still come out under budget by a lot.

Apple is not nice.

Get Windows 7 or 8. Windows 10 will be a free download for you then. I'm loving the technical preview right now.

I was kidding but can someone please make me a desktop

THETOPSIDE10Fraps is BY FAR the best screen recorder as there is no such thing as a good free screen recored so you might as well pay for the best one


Having tried both Fraps and Shadowplay, I can very safely say that Fraps is not the best. Its raw files are enormous and I've had really mixed audio and video quality with Fraps. I definitely regret not giving OBS a shot before shelling out cash for Fraps because those two reasons alone give even free software a decent chance at beating it.


I've always used Fraps and I've found if you just use handbrake it decreases the file sizes dramatically without losing any quality. I'm gonna give OBS a try now, see how it handles against Fraps.

apple is nice.

You got to be joking right?

He wants a desktop, not a laptop first of all.
Second, with getting a non-apple computer he will be getting a better device and get a better deal, rather than overspend on a crappy Macbook.
Windows would run just as good as OS X, but if you install it on an Apple Device, apple limits it so that OS X seems to run better, just look on the 5K Mac, only allows windows to run at 4K, plus you really only see OS X run on high end hardware anyway.

MY advice, unless you want to waste money, and not get the best out of it, get a Mac.
If you want to get the best for your money, and not overspend, build a desktop.

I don't NEED an SSD, I was just saying that would be the last step I'd rather have faster game play then booting up 1 second later.

Well you can easily fit the SSD into your budget. For FPS though, I'm not too good with calculating FPS, especially because the GPU's aren't even out yet, but you can easily max out Minecraft when you get your GPU.

Well your going to have a hell of a time recording minecraft with only 500 MB of ram, in fact i would be suprised if there is anything that is modern with only 500 mb of ram, you need ATLEAST 8 GB of ram to run windows 8, mkinecraft, and fraps. Fraps is BY FAR the best screen recorder as there is no such thing as a good free screen recored so you might as well pay for the best one

Fraps is terrible. And who said there is no good free screen recorder? OBS is probably one of the best recorders and its free.
