How much are you looking at spending and what is the pc going to be used for?

Budget is 350 to 400 max.
Is going to to be used for general stuff including connecting yo remote servers for work
Also maybe playing a few older games. Like medieval total ear etc.
Was looking at also adding an ssd for boot did that price to.

Do you require everything or just the tower?

Was thinking of going amd as I haven't got budget to add a adjudicated gpu.
Also think the A10 will do all everyday and remote server work with ease.
Was just curious how good the integrated hour was

great spec above go for either of them, onboard wouldn't cut the mustard with total war either, unless on low settings and small battles might be ok with medieval total and rome etc, but would struggle with the later ones

its almost all i play tbh

I have a 7 year old 40 quid graphics card in my current system. Plays tw on high.
Im sure the current integrated on the a10 would have no probs
