So I was messing with my old PC a while back, 'playing' some steam games and mmos n' such. After a while I decided to delve back into the case again and start screwing with stuff. Its a bad habit of mine since my PC is rather dated, this was about the 27th and last time. My 10 year old PC is bricked and I'm wanting to get a new machine. I'll have about 500 USD in a few months and looking for suggestions on what to get.
Spec wise I have little idea what I want, I am interested in having a laptop though, for rather selfless reasons too (which I know I'll regret later. I always do.). I want the machine to be able to run L4D1 and 2 on moderate settings at the least; If necessary I will settle for a desktop. If you have a suggestion that goes over 500$ mark, go ahead and post it. I'm flexible, could work it out. If theres any misc. info you can think of when posting a machine (I.E., model has overheating issues or such) i'd definantly be interested in hearing about them.
My only lead so far is looking into the Refurbished Alienwares that go on sale now and again. I haven't seen any avaible for a while now, but I'm waiting and watching. As you may have noticed, I'm interested in purchasing the machine from reputable vendors, I'm just paranoid that way. Thanks all helpful suggestors. (No I don't know if thats a word, oh well.)
