I suppose I can budget 2 -250 max
And that's pushing it.

I only play wow, hearthstone and do school work.

I have a 1gb 100.00 graphics card nvidia gforce something (not home can't check )

I can, and prefer to buy and build it piece by piece it just usually comes out much more pricey and I give up. No problems with used or refurbished as long as it works. It's fine.

Both games on low settings as long as it runs smooth it's fine for me.

If I can get away with under budget it's preferred. Spending a lot on a 13 year old game I don't play 24/7 isn't gonna fly lol.

Thanks ahead of time everyone

Cons - Max end of your budget
Will have to assemble yourself

Pros - Power supply won't blow up or die on you and take your whole computer with it
Will play Wow on med settings so you can actually see the fight
You won't own someones second hand garbage that is probably filthy as fuck on the inside

Edit - probably won't do high settings, medium is realistic to expect with playable fps

Yeah please do .

I know it’s not 80 dollars ... but it’s farrr better and not someone’s old used junk. Those refurbs are usually corporate beaters abused for 8 hours a day every day .

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $100 for something that will actually make the playing experience enjoyable.

If you don't have the money to afford a $350 PC, then get a job for a month and work instead of gaming. Trust you will be better off in the long run.

I don’t disagree with this statement . But the dudes bd Get us his budget .

Also ryzen 1200 > that processor you linked in ... and there is neglible increase in cost.

I like the rest .

he does already have a gpu from his old desktop. i forgot what gpu it is though, search for his post in regular CHD section, he mentioned it there. so he can just reuse his old gpu and then upgrade later if he wants, as long as his new PSU can handle it


this from other topic, accidentally posted there

tho tbh single channel RAM on an APU would have been a horrendous experience, the radeon graphics are already bottlenecked hard by system memory even with a DC config

go for a ryzen 1200 if possible

if u got a case from old desktop too, re-use it
or just buy a couple fans one for intake one for exhaust and build that shit in a shoe box, shit is viable, you don't need a case
could even skip the intake/exhaust fans and just run it with the top open
