Need pc game recommendations

[Mike171]

Need game recommendations that can sustain a playable fps other than minesweeper. Steam recently announced that it will terminate it's support for windows xp by the end of December 2018. I do not consider myself as a dedicated gamer and have never played a triple A title before. One of my cousins is going to visit us from China and I want to know a few popular titles that I can run on my PC for a 10 year old. Currently the most popular PC game in China is a f2p  rpg game called "eating chicken". However my rig is a bit below the minimum requirements as depicted by the image below.

Thanks

Eating Chicken games, is similar to PUBG requirements which are fairly light.

You can run it decently in 4 Cores CPU, 8gb RAM and RX560 or GTX1050 GPU.

It will even run in a Ryzen 2400g, 720p @60fps. Without added GPU.

Should I overclock my graphics card?

XP? Dual Core? 512MB? 2GB? whaaat...

Without not knowing the rest of the specs, i pretty certain your pc is in another decade.

 

Do you have any budget? You need a new PC that's for sure.

No overclocking would help that poor 512mb vga.

Well his PC is in another decade. OP mentioned it in their first post.

Anyway, is eating chicken free? If it is, try running it and go from there.

Hah, missed it. Sorry 

But a late decade ago (first gen core-i) still doing great, all you need is a new gpu.

"eating chicken" is a broad term for pubg clones, i don't know which one op are talking about.

If you look at the bottom left corner (of the screenshot) it mentioned Ryzen 3 1200 (4 threads) as minimum requirements.

It is free but it requires direct x 11 to work instead of direct x 9.0c.

Eating chicken is a phenomenal Chinese made RPG game both on pc and mobile phone(maybe). The premise of the game is to be the sole surviver out of 100 players in a ever shrinking circle of death. The players can forage weapons and supplies inside abandoned houses. If you want to try out this game, make sure to find a good cheating software like HP lock as it is essential to win like everyone else.

up-to-Date Rig.

How does my current gaming rig compares to Linus's $69 gaming PC?
