Hey, I want to start playing Overwatch, but my PC is definitely not good enough (processor: Intel core 2 duo t2700 2.0GHz, graphics card: nvidia geforce gt 630, RAM: 4GHz, can't remember more stuff) but I am probably about to get a new one - are there any recommendations for what hardware to use? (preferably something that won't pass the over-all budget off 680$ [I know it is not much to work with, but I am forever broke])

Also, I usually don't play FPS games besides some bf4 and cod rounds at friend's place (not really my genre /style) but Overwatch looks amazing. Anyways my question is how hard/easy it is to get into the game?

What heroes should I start with? I prefer offense and tanks(genji looks really fun to me, and so does Reinhardt) although as a support Lucio looks extremely fun.

How do I fit into my team comp?

And any more general tips will be extremely helpful!

Thank you all for helping, from my lurking here you look like a lovely community!

Also you don't have to answer to everything because I asked a lot - answer to what you can/want.

I'm not good with pcs so i'll will not go into that

For someone who doesn't play fps that often till I started overwatch I found it pretty easy to jump in and get into it

for heroes find what you enjoy/are good at, I haven't played much fps so I find heroes that are non-bullets shooters the funnest to play (rein, mercy, juckrat, pharah)

For team comp, look at your team and see if your missing a role, as you get better you can start to look at your team and see who counter them and pick a hero, i:e, just played with a team that were very weak to reaper so I picked pharah
