Ah, ok. I definitely try not to step on anyone's toes, so I'm glad that we're similar minded and I'm not just repeating you :)

Don't see why. It's not like i patented it or anything :P Only commenting it's a similar build, with the Ryzen, the 8Gb, and the 1050 Ti.

No matter how prebuilt is good or decent, picking your own parts is always a better choice. :p

Would you be able to provide the links to the computers you looked at? That would help me determine which games it could run.

Right now, any computer that could run Blossom Tales should be able to run the other games you mentioned as that game is the one that requires the most power. For what the game is, it recommends a relatively powerful graphics card however, in case you're ok with the low settings on the game, you should be able to make it work with a laptop that has a modern day Intel i-series processor (ex. Intel i3 or i5) or...

What I would recommend is you should go and get a desktop computer with either a GT 1030 graphics card or above like a GTX 1050, which would be able to run lots of games with no problem and it's more powerful than a GT 1030 but in case you're sticking to mostly cheap games, then a GT 1030 should do. You could upgrade to a 1050 or 1050 ti which should be able to run even more games. The 1050 ti is more powerful.

In the desktop, I would go for something with a Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5. Which are powerful enough processors for most games, of course the Ryzen 5 being the more powerful processor and a better value than what Intel has.

So overall, you could pair a Ryzen 3 processor which is powerful enough for most the games you mentioned with a GTX 1050 and it could run Blossom Tales and many more games. You could use either processor for any graphics card you want that has come out in the last 10 years.

I do recommend going the desktop route because you could upgrade to a better graphics card and processor in the future in case those parts prove insufficient. You go for a powerful processor like the Ryzen 5 and all you would have to upgrade is the graphics card. Both of these processors do require a graphics card.

The OP has very little knowledge about computers. You're assuming a lot.

Tks for the info vidsgame! I was not bald to put link in here for some reason ? I get a message saying I’m not allowed when I try to hit send button . I just basically went to bestbuy and chose the hp pavilion which goes for 500 bucks and it says nothing about Ryzen ??? It only talks about pentium or amd

Pentium is a (lower level) type of processors produced by Intel. Better ones would be i3, i5 or i7 (as well as i9 and Xeon but those are way more pricey).
Ryzen is a processor series produced by AMD. AMD also produces graphics card (GPUs), so that might make things confusing. The most common other graphics card use chips made by Nvidia.

I don't know that particular HP but for 500 it might be a bit on the low end, at least if you want to play more demanding games too in the future.

Then having a neighbor build the machine, or getting it pre-built might be safer...

So are you saying i3 is intel pentium 3? Or is it something completely different ? I’m just not well versed with comp lingo . Also is amd overall just better than pentium?

You're welcome. Anytime. i-3 Is different. However, that being said, I only have experience with the i-3 and i-5 processors so nothing I could say about the Pentiums, I've heard that they are better than they were before. It would really depend on which AMD you're talking about. Anything AMD Ryzen is better than a Pentium and Ryzen what I would stick with as far as AMD goes because before that people mainly stuck with Intel, especially i-3, i-5 and i-7.

Maybe you could try the game on the laptop you chose and maybe it will work fine. I have an HP 650 that I'm typing on right now and I'm surprised on how many games it could run, including Garry's Mod but just barely but that's still very good with no other graphics card besides what processors have nowadays. My laptop is more than 4 years old, mind you, so your Pentium is most likely better than my i-3 because my i-3 is old. I doubt I could run Blossom Tales on my laptop but it's possible. I know any of my desktops should be easily able to run it.

No I am looking for a desktop not a laptop . My 8 yr old desktop couldn’t end run blossom tales so I am looking to buy a computer that can play all those newer style retro games like shipwreck and blossom tales . So i3 is not intel pentium 3?

No, they are two different processors. When a computer has an i-3, it will say it.

For example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-silk-gold-ash-silver/5900237.p?skuId=5900237

This desktop looks good and looks like it's in your budget:

The Intel i3 processor is part of the Core line of processors from Intel. The i3 is the lowest (and usually least expensive) tier with 1st through 7th gen chipsets having dual cores. The newest 8th gen (Coffee Lake) i3 chips have 4 cores.

The i5 is the mid-tier Core processor and the i7 and then i9 are above that. Price and performance increase as you go up.

I have an i3 7100U @ 2.4 ghz in my laptop and I'm very happy with it in case you were curious.

I think i3 lost it's value after G4560 and Ryzen 3 2200G.

OP you can tell us your budget for desktop PC and we will show you the best options.
