BUILD A $599 GAMES PC
For all too many of us, the Maximum PC Dream Machine remains just that: a dream. The hang-the-cost attitude has made for some incredible systems, and this year’s will be no different, but what if cost is a factor? What if you can’t afford to drop north of a grand on the cooling system alone? What if you want a machine that costs a fraction of what we dream up every year? What if you want a system that’s as pleasing to your pocket as it is to use? Our budget machine aims to offer just that: an impressive all-around experience for a fraction of what we normally look at in these pages. That includes being able to handle games as well. Think of it as a console that you can actually do useful things on, as well as keeping yourself entertained. It is a PC, after all. And if you have a bit more cash to hand, you can use this system as a starting point for something that answers your needs much more specifically.
