Price range for gaming PC that plays Madden well

[BigOrangeVol4Life]

I’m very interested in switching from consoles to the PC version just for the mods. I’ve never owned a gaming PC. What type of price tag should I be expecting to pay for good performance? Do you recommend a laptop or a desktop?

desktop is best specially if you might get into the modding.
as for system, look for specs the game requirements has and get at least something with the recommended specs, because while minimum specs will run, depending on what else is running it might not run as will at it can on the pc.



start there and decide what you fell comfortable with

Just depends on what your trying to accomplish. I would get a desktop over laptop. You can upgrade your parts inside desktop if you want to down the road. Also look up what it takes to run madden on recommended specs vs lowest specs too. But prices can vary on what your trying to do.

I spent $800, then upgraded RAM and added an SSD. I'm $1100 in or so. 3+ years ago, so its probably a solid mid-level machine, maybe even low-end mid-level rig now compared to most.

You picked a good time to buy. Watch the sales next week. Watch for potential upgrades next month.

I've never seen a game tax a machine the way Madden 24 does. Mind you, I only play sports games. But Madden 24 makes my rig run like its prepping for a missile launch.

You won't be able to cheap out if you expect to play M24, unfortunately.

The mods are absolutely amazing. You'll ask yourself why you didn't switch sooner.

Shady Mike Gaming about the mods. Good lord, it makes you wonder what the programmers at EA are doing. Link below

They're "borrowing" some of the work the modders are doing.

I saw a discord post from a guy that does extensive work on the playbooks, he said EA implemented a lot of his tweaks in 24.

Well they need to borrow more!
