Hey guys, i know over here at linustechtips y'all probably aren't too fond of much cheaper but im helping out a friend with an extremely budget build and we wanna know if this build can play games at 1080p at LOW settings (Even higher end games) at at least 40fps average?

I would skip the GT740 and maybe buy used or something like that. I would doubt the abilites of a GT 740 even on low settings.

Can he steal a hard drive from an old PC and then use the money he saved for a better GPU?

Also, @WoodenMarker, @airdeano, @Blade of Grass, @Ghost, this belongs in a different subforum.

GT series cards are horrible. Try for a GTX one used.

How about a Leadtek GTX750 1GB

Sooo what is the total budget? And is all the listed parts in your original post all of what is needed?

Nah. Still a bit more. Would an R7 260X fit the bill perhaps? A used one wouldn't be a death wish if you did your research.

I'm fairly sure the GTX 750 is a solid budget choice.

However yes, the 260X or 265 are amazing for the price.

Alrighty, I'll make a cheap USD build and hopefully I can leave room for inflation and all of that. I'll be right back.

techguru · March 22, 2015

what website are you using for the prices

I'm curious, what's your budget? I have a build for you at $404.72 if you're interested.

for value oriented build, I suggest use some local made casing that cost around < USD$20, and get more at the gpu

you mention about SGD$, so I assume you live at Singapore, do you get Armageddon/Power logic / Dazumba case? these are cheap case for office PC which I think you can take a look
