sub $350 build

[yoursoawsome]

How is this pc build? I was aiming it to display 3 monitors, run super light gaming, basic internet stuff, and possibly an over clock in the future; all for under $350 without operating system. What should i change? any tips for a cheaper computer?

thanks for your time

The monitors will cost more than the build lol

i only spent $60 on the monitors used (basically new though) here they are Dell 22 Sp2208wfp

[ViruZ_HUN]

Dell 22 Sp2208wfp these are what i have. only spent $60 for all 3

 lol

That is 1050p monitors if I am correct from 2007. I am not so sure if it can handle it. because R9 250x is a WEAK card for more then 720p(maybe 1080p). But with 3 of eaither of them is a bottleneck. I don't even think you can connect so much monitors to the card anyways. SAVE UP SOME DARN MONEY FIRST TO A DECENT RIG:D

 

Or just go with these:

 

[yoursoawsome]

GG... are you going to game at 3072x576 or what?

im not really going to use all 3 for gaming, probably one on youtube, the other on a website and the last one on a game

[79wjd]

Spend a bit more and get at least an r7 260x. 

[PokémonTrainerFour]

Can you reformat the OP to use BBCode please?

whats that

[Quest]

I'll be the one to say it...

Save your money for a little bit longer.

At the $350 price point, performance is horrid and upgrade-ability is minimal.

You will be disappointed with whatever solution you come to and build.

what gpu should i go with

[ViruZ_HUN]

what gpu should i go with

Well for 3 monitors at least a  4 GB R9 270/x

[yoursoawsome]

Well for 3 monitors at least a  4 GB R9 270/x

will the cpu bottle neck it

[ViruZ_HUN]

will the cpu bottle neck it

Nope.  don't think so.

[yoursoawsome]

Nope. don't think so.

What's a good gpu for dual monitors

[ViruZ_HUN]

What's a good gpu for dual monitors

DUal monitors a 4 GB r9 270/x is fine. but that is the CPus limit. Maybe if you get a good OC you could go up to r9 280/x

Yep...a decent rig for gaming without operating system, monitors any of that stuff your looking at about 750...double his budget...and that is a lower end graphics card.
