hey :slight_smile: i play overwatch on console but i am wondering what would be a good PC that does not cost a lot… or laptop. i have two laptops and one is the star wars hp laptop, playing ow on there is very slow. most of the time i can’t see players so i stick to the ptr or training. but really would love to play ow on the pc sometimes. my other is ASUS laptop.

any recommendations :slight_smile: i literally do not know much about pc specs.

You would need a pc in the ballpark of 4-600USD to have good performance in games to the Console standard. Mostly think of the GPU and CPU only of a labtop/desktop.

I recommend that you go for the recommended once and play the game on low settings because you don’t need higher once, pros and streamers all play on low graphics and stuff, but just have the shadows on medium.
But ofc if you can spend more money go for better.
