I finally got enough money to get a desktop but I can't seem to find ones that don't have a 4090 or a basic ass video card.

Need like a mid-level that is amazing for cpu games and ok for video as I don't care about visuals

Basically a computer that can run heavily modded Factorio, Minecraft and rimworld.

Anybody have any links or options that are under 800?

If you're not in a rush, Nvidia is re-releasing the 3060 in June. Probably have better options then.

Are you looking at pre-builts? And if so can I interest you at all in DIY?

I have built my own company 10.years ago I'm very rusty on it though. And unsure what is good or not and where to get it and all that. Used to go to fries electronics but they no longer exist

Any chance there's a Micro Center nearby?

Sadly no where close. Would have gone there if I could sadly

A basic ass video card gets you pretty far these days, especially if you're playing games like those that don't require much graphics processing.

I usually buy used because I'm cheap, but everything is expensive these days. Check your local sources.
