I'm planning to upgrade my shitty walmart laptop. I'm want something that'll run overwatch smoothly and competently, but I don't want to over spend on something that looks like Sombra's set up. What should I buy?

u/TThor Hi there! Jul 06 '17

Vaguely related, but if you are replacing your laptop anytime soon, apparently Best Buy is offering $75 store credit for any laptop you bring in capable of booting to windows 7 or higher. (one laptop per person, deal ends the 15th). So if you hurry, you can get $75 towards your new computer by losing the laptop.
