I'm interested in a sub-$900 off the shelf desktop for the sole purpose of playing CM.
Is that a reasonable price range? What kind of specs should I be looking for? How well would this $400 Dell system work?
Intel® Core™ i3-4170T Processor Dual-Core
4GB memory
NVIDIA® GeForce® GPU 2GB GDDR5
My principal machine right now is a 2015 MacBook - key specs are
1.2 GHz Intel Core M
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 5300 1536 MB
"Medium" battles are tough to play to because the draw distance is so short - I can't see trees more than ~100 meters from the setup zone!
