Hey guys, I just wanted to know what computer you use and a computer that you would suggest to me. Brand names will help too. Here are some requirements for what I plan on buying:

-Budget (I know these budget doesn't seem logical for a gaming computer, but I just don't like what I have now so my budget is $250-400, 500 if I get lucky.)

-Location( I don't want to buy online because money transferring through the internet kind of scares me. So maybe suggest computers from Best Buy or something idc)

-Lag(I don't do that bad with Optifine, but the thing is I want to record, furthermore making a channel. I just want something that has 60 fps without Optifine and then Optifine boosts to 80-90 and my recording software brings it down to 70-80 fps. If you want to know what I am currently using to record which I lag too hard on is ezvid ;) )

So ya, if you guys could help me out I will be thankful for your input to my predicaments, and hopefully I encouraged some of you to record your games with the recording software I suggested. P.S. ezvid is free :p
P.P.S. if advertising recording software isn't allowed I'm sorry Chad :(

EDITED: I plan on getting this one---- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus---...lack/9424061.p?id=1219016114601&skuId=9424061
EDITED ONCE AGAIN: I want a pre-made computer, I don't like the building process because it's so perplexed in my opinion. I'm just lethargic so I want a computer that I can just buy in like 5 mins from the cashier lol :p

Basically if you have a bad computer and you have atleast a dual core you can upgrade your graphics card and that will boost your frames per second performance on every game.

Lenovo is pretty good. I use one and I get around 300 fps on singleplayer and around 200 or 150 on mcsg.

Alienware? I'm pretty sure they're overrated and overpriced, can you get one for under $500?

I'd recommend building your own but if not Asus are pretty good.
A good custom PC will chew up all your money. I know people they spent atleast $300 on just a graphics card and if he has only $500 than a custom PC is not the way to go. I would recommend just going to your local technology shop and check them out there and do some research!

Ok I am not the fanboy of razer EITHER alienware , so I am not gonna HIGHLY recommend them for you , but yeah they are preety good. If you want a monitor , you should get a Samsung one 1920X1080 , preety good ones , hardly ever break , and they dont take so much time to setup , for keyboard I suggest you a Razer BlackWidow Stealth if you are a big gamer that doesnt want to get interrupted , generally Razer if you are a gamer , mouse , again Razer (I prefer Razer Orochi , preety nice) , don't have any other for you (Graphics cards etc etc) sorry mate , I have some old ones , but good ones :p
