A Budget gaming PC

[Elijah1234]

Budget (including currency): 100€-200€

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:   CSGO, Sea of thieves 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I dont need a pc case becouse i dont care about the visuals,but i need advise on every other part, i would like to game on 60-100Hz on ultra low settings

I would not know what the market is like in germany but its pretty CRAP in America. If you can get a used i5 or i7 workstation with 8gb of ram and chuck in a used gpu of some kind. That will preform better that building one from scratch these days. Make sure to buy an ssd if you do this, nothing fancy but that really makes these old workstations feel faster.

Wait 200 euros?

Yes just think of it as roughly 200$

used GTX 1050t/GT 1030i + cheap old OptiPlex with a Sandy Bridge (or better) i5 or i7

100FPS in CS is achievable then

Depends on what your used market has. I scored a gtx 770 for relativly cheap. Aim in on somthing like a 770 as that will heed you enough power to run at those settings.

a gt 1030

PHHSHSHHSHSH gosh no. You can get a gtx 770 for around 80$ that will absolutly DESTROY that card.

if you get a used OptiPlex a gtx 770 wont work btw

[Elijah1234]

thats bad

[Elijah1234]

You cant buy an i5 with a specific motherboard and cooler with your budget. Your only real options too get a cheap used OptiPlex with a Sandy bridge i5/ i7 and a Gt 1030 (or a GTX 1050ti if you get lucky with the deal)

Also a GTX 770 will not work here

[Elijah1234]

where can i find used optiplex?

ebay. if you arent comfortable with buying used saving up may be your best option

[Elijah1234]

ok ill search there

 

[Downkey]

Just now, Iloveunisuj said:

yeah and i would recommend buying a 120gb ssd if your used optiplex has one more bay for another drive, and just install windows on there because the hard drive will probably be really old and slow and will only be good for storing games and other stuff

if OP can afford one.

Usually on ebay for really cheap like 50-100 dollars

so half of my budget goes to the optplex and the other half to the GPU

yes. Ideal scenario would be a 2nd - 4th gen i5 or i7. Then add a GTX 1050ti or GT 1030 depending on the reaminiung budget

Yeah or you could buy a console but you will not be able to play csgo, ideally i would go for either a used optiplex, saving up, or a console, cause those are basically your only options

ok i think ill go with the optiplex but one question what is a sandy bridge?

2nd gen intel CPUS., That's their architecture name 

[MartinKweh]

An rx560 or could also work. I actually bought a used rx 560 for my sister for like $40 and it works like a charm. 

Idk how much the used market in your country is but i managed to build a usef pc for my sister with an hp prebuilt and an rx 560 for just about under 100 usd. Its an i5 2400,10gb ram and an rx 560. Im from the Philippines btw.
