Well, if you can wait 3 months and you earn 10 $/week then that's ~50$/month so... 200 $ +100/150 $ it's ~300-350 $, which is a pretty decent budget

I cant really wait... :P

Yeah, but it'll run higher speed memories, depends on the MB tho

(PS: I ran once my G3220 with RAM at 1400 MHz)

i have a g3258 and 1600 MHz memory with an msi z97 u3 plus. CPUz says that it's running at 1600 but I wasn't sure. So does that mean my ram is running at 1600?

Well, only if you want to wait and save...

up to 200 $ you can only get G3220/4GB/R7 250X

I just going to buy the 260x and see how it performs on medium settings

AMD has some great CPU's that out perform many others.

 

I have a Quad Core from 2006 and it still runs very well without any issues.

 

Intel may be better, but I think AMD does just fine, especially with my experience with them.

You will regret your impatience down the road. It's the same reason people take out ridiculous loans instead of just saving up, and regret it deeply later.
