Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new to PC gaming, I do play some games however, they're not very graphic demanding or require a lot of processing, games like Undertale.
I want to play games like: gMod; CS:GO; Minecraft; Amnesia and SOMA.
So, I have an old PC, it's an Optiplex 755 SFF. It's all stock except the 8gb of RAM installed and the Pentium Dual core E2200.
I have a rather small budget of £200, which I know sounds impossible to find anything good for the price of that.
I was thinking if I was upgrading the desktop I would add a GeFore GTX 750 1GB (£100) and upgrading my processor to an Intel QuadCore Q6600 (£75).
Would that be a reasonable upgrade or should I build a new PC?
Here are the specs of the PC I am willing to build:
CPU: AMD A8-7600 3.1GhZ QuadCore
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M
RAM: HyperX Fury 4gb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
PSU: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Case: Xigmatek Recon ATX Mid Tower Case
-- All this I can get for just £200, I know there's know GPU however I may be able to get more money soon to buy one, but I heard the APU's graphics are good enough.
That's my original plan. But I was reading on overclockers about "bare bones PC", should I get one of those and add the parts?
What's the best option?
Thanks in advance
