As the title says, I'm a disabled vet, 100% so no job and my wife doesn't make much. I'm 53 and I can't drive and I live in an area without public transportation coupled with some personal issues that make it difficult for me to get out and it adds up to not really having anything to do. I love gaming though, specifically Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries (big stompy military robot simulator). My old refurbished desktop though barely runs it and I can't use many of the mods and all my settings are turned down to the lowest and it still has problems.

I'm hoping that someone either knows who can help me get one or has an old one they can give me (I can scrounge enough together to get it shipped I'm pretty sure). The recommended requirements are:

Recommended specifications for better performance are an Intel Core i7-6700K/AMD Ryzen 7 1700, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 1070/AMD RX Vega 56 GPU. The game requires 64-bit Windows and approximately 55-80 GB of storage space.

While I would LOVE to run a full simulator rig with VR, it certainly isn't a requirement, though any old sim controllers and or foot pedals would be appreciated. I really hate coming with my hand out, but with the wife and kids coupled with the economy I really see this as the only possible way I get something like this.

I don't have much money at all, I'm a disabled vet on a fixed income. What could be done price wise to try to buy a halfway decent computer that will run the game with TTRulez and some graphic mods? I do have a (possibly) working video card (Radeon RX 5700 XT). Hopefully I can piece by piece together a computer with some guidance. If someone wants to donate parts I can trade in miniature painting (might even have a mini you might want) though (will DM pics if interested).

Anyone know of a working one? Between playing through and trying out different mods and settings, I borked up a bunch of pilots and they have some blanked out Specialties that won't train away.
