    My current computer I can 3 Box in any major city but its rough at best.

    I use a stock HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. It has overheating issues that I have tamed for the most part with a giant fan, however I just want to get a new system.

    I was really hoping for some suggestions on systems rather than naysaying the possibility of it being possible. Again I don't know hardware so trying to build or pick my own system is a major problem.

    I dont get the impression we are "naysaying" just for the sake of being frugal or combative. I surely didnt intend as much.

    Ill simply answer your inital question, rather than try to help.

    "No."

    Naysaying? I'm sorry that you can't get a very nice machine for $750. Just because new technology comes out does not mean
    that the old stuff automatically gets cut 50% in price to alleviate the stock. Maybe by telling you that $750 is too low of a budget
    for medium settings on all your clients is helping you. Also, do you currently have a monitor attached to that laptop? If not, that's
    almost a quarter of your budget right there.

    If you're currently using an old laptop then almost
    any desktop that you buy is going to be better than what you currently use.
    Most people have (or should have) a macro that changes video settings on the fly so that the slaves have lower settings than
    the main which relieves stress on the system overall.

    I'm obviously the wrong person to be answering these questions because I like a system that can do more than the bare

    minimum. You'll have to wait a day or two to see if other people chime in with their setups which might better fit your budget.

    EDIT:
    Just thought of this. I know you don't want to build your own system but Tom's Hardware does a cheapo gaming system build
    almost every month. You can use it as a reference on what it costs to buy a pre-built system.
