Ayo I’m SOL lmaooo
#1
I am indeed shit out of luck. My potato of a pc finally died today Rest In Peace fr :(

So one of two things need to be said…

1) I am going to be inactive in game for at least 2 months because I don’t have the money for a pc right now.

2) I’m not that smart with computer specs (meaning idk what is good nowadays), so I would appreciate any suggestions you all have for my next purchase. My budget is around $800-$900. I found a few online for that price that still hold up well rn according to reviews, but I’m assuming a lot of you on here know more than I do. 

So yeah pls recommend a pc that would fit inside of my budget if you know of any and uh I’ll still be around in discord because I have a phone, but I can’t play anymore games for a few months until I manage my money with this new job.

I just recently built this pc actually! It’s very affordable and runs great. If you’re looking for 800-900 you can easily upgrade some of the items here to be even better but the bare minimum can still run amazing.

You cant fix what's broken or something? Take it to a pc repair store first lol

My pc is 6 years outdated. I’d rather just buy a new one than repair it

It might be a very quick fix, so you'd at least be able to play while you save up the funds for a better PC (rather than waiting 2 months). 
Do you have any power indications when it's plugged in?  Does your computer fail to boot?  It might just be a bad power supply or corrupted hard drive.

I'm pretty good at cheap computers if you're into it
A HP Pavilion 590-p0053w is literally the whole computer with a 6 core processor, $350 with free shipping. I can't remember if these have a graphics card power connector, if they don't try and find a GTX 1650 Super graphics card to put in it, it doesn't need extra power.

Not everyone is into the used computer parts thing, so here's this:
Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core processor, brand new, cheap and very quick https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5600X-1...B08166SLDF
Motherboard that will fit all the stuff without spending 1 million dollar https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B550-PRO-ProS...B089CZSQB4
16GB of completely average memory https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance...B0143UM4TC
If you have your old storage drive you can use that for vidoe ghame :) and put Windows on this SSD for very fast computer https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-MZ-V8V1T0...B08V7GT6F3
You can build the computer in the old case, but if you dont want to do that just buy the cheapest thing that looks good, or this https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Tempe...B073668KDM
Graphics card is really hard right now since the prices are wacky. You can get good deals on really, really crappy graphics cards on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265360121704 this GPU is good for garry's mod and medium settings on new games but you can't really crank stuff

and as others said in the meantime I would try to fix whatever is wrong with yours so you actually have a computer in the meantime, if you say whats wrong with it we can probably help you out

edit: Quadro prices are bit lower used because of businesses selling old workstations right now.. This Quadro M2000 is gonna be pretty crap but its only $160 https://www.ebay.com/itm/194310084251
I did also find this Quadro K4200 which is a little bit more powerful and cheaper, but it's a lot bigger so if you get that HP Pavilion it might not fit https://www.ebay.com/itm/255178836356

My pc would constantly crash and freeze. I opened it up and cleaned it with compressed air. Tried to boot it up afterwards and monitor was black screen and pc sounded like a bomb/race car engine. Opened it up again and no cords were touching the fans and everything was in place. My computer is garbage and isn’t worth trying to salvage for new parts/take it to a repair shop because it was already nearly unplayable. I’d rather sit out for a few months and have a new one that’s way better tbh.

I don’t like laptops but I can’t deny there value right now. Check for some on Best Buy. Make sure it’s at least high refresh rate. PC building right now is ass and I don’t recommend.

Here’s one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-g15-15...Id=6461723
