    Joeballs187 reacted to J400 in want to get a desktop computer or build one   
    I took the chance and came out with a 780 ti for around $100. but that was 2 months ago, now they are more like $200, but still about the same performance as a gtx 1060, just half the price.
     
    Also, if you want to go the intel route (8600k build) it won't perform any differently than the one I showed you, unless you want to slap in a 1080ti and go for high refresh rates (144hz+). Just something to keep in mind.

    Guys, give him a break. Stop being salty, its like the Destiny games...if you don't like the content then go away. (i hate destiny..) You think he's typing to troll or something? Did you even consider he may have learning difficulties? 
     
    Anyway, my advice (the best advice ) when the PC arrives play with it and you will conclude yourself if you want to buy more parts and if so what parts you want. You may only want RAM for games or an SSD for your OS, or you might have enough fun as is. After playing for a week post a topic on the specific issues you want resolved first and people on the forum can advice what hardware or tweaks will resolve it.
     
    Either way its going to be fun! I was playing with a rubbish laptop at first trying to get well farcry 1 to run. When it finally did it felt a bigger triumph than completing the game.

    Ok. Clearer now. To be honest is kind of hard to recommend something now after you already bought that PC. But you got some options:
     
    1. Do what others suggested - upgrade the PC you bought with a new CPU, maybe motherboard, and maybe some decent cooling if overclocking is something that you might consider. Also you need to upgrade the PSU as well if you buy a more power hungry GPU. Also take into consideration that this kind of thing requires a little bit of knowledge, which I'm almost sure that the people who suggested that will gladly help you.
     
    2. Go with my recommendation - another 4GB of ram, an SSD and one of the 3 GPUs I suggested - and use the PC as it is and later when you have a decent amount of money saved you sell this PC and put the money towards a new build, alongside with your savings.
     
    3. Don't invest anything in it, put it up for sale locally, and try to get as close as possible to price you paid for it - try to reduce the loses as much as possible and save up the money until you can get a new, better build.

    I'm done here. The OP doesn't even want to write down in English properly. He give details that makes no sense. My help here is over. People with more patience than me and a larger view should help. Cheers.

    The "damage is done". This PC doesn't deserve to have money invested in it. It's like throwing out money.
     
    So go for this:
     
    - 4gb ram
    - 120GB SSD (you could use a 60GB one but that's barely enough just for windows - a 120GB shouldn't be that expesive)
    - one of these (the one that's cheaper and suits your gaming needs): GTX 1050, RX460, GTX 1050 Ti (make sure that which model you choose it doesn't require a separate 6pin power cable - they usually don't but just double check)

    I'm lost as to what you're asking. Did you buy the computer you linked to? That thing is old, nearly 9 years old for the CPU.
