OK, so I'm NOT a big gamer at all, but a sucker for playing them AAA's.
I DON'T CARE PLAYING AT ULTRA SETTINGS. As long as I can get my rig to do medium settings on 1080p - I'm happy(Especially with games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider/Hitman 2/Far Cry 5/GTA 5) If I get high settings then Bonus, but that is not the end goal here.
This is my current rig:
HP Compaq Elite 8300:
3rd gen i5
2 x 4gb ram
500 gb mechanical WD blue (Still looking for good deal on ssd)
1 x PCIe slot.
PSU - don't know - will upgrade if necessary which is very likely
Monitor: Dell SE2416H
I'm looking for the cheapest option for gpu v psu combo. Case is big enough for any card.
Not looking into future-proofing my rig.
Any advice?
I'm getting very confused over the options since I see good benches on R9 280's straight through to the top end.
