Your opinions?

Let it be known I am going to use an old Dell case I have laying around. Doesn't look pretty but that doesn't matter to me.

Better off getting one of the budget dual core intels for now, and upgrading it to an i5/i7 down the road (same socket) IMO

Mainly just RS and League. Nothing high end or super extensive. I was debating getting a 750 TI off ebay tbh.

I mean that looks pretty good. And what you think I don't need some impressive GPU just something for 1080P league and some RS.. so the GTX 750 TI should be a budget option huh? Or do the 1050 ti? It's like 50 bucks more but..

you dont need a great gpu for runescape and league - people play these games on laptops.
i will say, getting a gpu will benefit you in both games though but you'll have to sacrifice CPU performance (which those games depend on heavily) which isn't worth it imo.

that being said, you can get one of the 4 cards below depending on your price point
gtx 970 - should be 125 used via craigslist or OfferUp (andriod app, might be iOS too?)
gtx 1050 ti - should be 125 new
rx 480 - 150ish new

they all have pro's and cons. i wouldn't get a 1050 ti. imo it's between the 970 and 480, that's me though. if it's a hard choice and have extra $$ floating around get the rx 480 8 gb instead of the 970.

Those GPUs are overkill for the games I play.. my last build (I sold for a lawyer went through seperation) had an i5 6500 and a gtx 970.. like 300fps on league and rs was obviously capped out or rs3 was like 200fps lmao

ALSO, I don't know where you're getting your prices for the 970 and the 480 but that's way off.. at least in the states from where I can find anyway..
