Is your monitor 60hz or 144hz?

 

Basically a potato could run the game at 60fps

60hz, I run csgo on my craptop at 11 FPS lowest setting

[werto165]

What are you talking about a specifc component? If so it's the GPU you really don't need anything that amazing in terms of gpu horsepower to run it, I have a 660ti and it runs at like max settings at 1080p 200FPS with lows of 150FPS so.... Probably just better to ask what you budget is and what other games you want to play too. And what are you current specs?

really? I ran it on a ULV Celeron with  no gpu and only 4gb of ram the other day at 30fps

If you're ONLY wanting to run CSGO, just get a decent dual core processor (pentium), a cheap 1GB graphics card, and 4GB RAM. 

 

 

If you're on a laptop, you can't upgrade

HP pavilion 11" 4gb ram

 

You need to list your specific specs is that your only machine?

 

You will need to build a desktop, what is your budget?

i also play mc, and would like to (When I can afford it) get into GTA5

my budget is £350 which is about ($500).

Then get an i3/i5 and a 2-3GB graphics card. 

 

All depends on your budget what you can get.

you can't really replace the gpu or CPU in a laptop so I'd need a desktop which I'm going to get but I need a build

If your budget is 350BP, you might want to consider getting used components and shoot for an i5 and a 2-3GB GPU (Like a R9 270, R9 280, GTX 770, GTX 960).

 

If you're buying everything new, your best bet is something like an i3 and a 750ti.  But I always recommend getting an i5 while you can, it'll last you a long time and getting a GPU for upgrade is a lot easier than CPU.

[Vek1313]

You could build a system $400 and run CS:GO, it is one of the easiest games to run.

[ShadowCaptain]

my budget is £350 which is about ($500).

Buy a potato, anything can run that game

[Vvardenfell]

It's a source game, you don't need anything over the top to run it at 60+

That is actually a good budget build you put together.

I noticed that CS:GO has a fps max of 300fps.

Game isn't like Tomb Raider that depends on GPU, it's more important to have a better single threaded CPU. 

Even tho if you get a PK and OC it, a i3 will most likely beat it. 

Not all PKs can reach 4.5GHZ+

CS:GO uses the Source engine, which is completely CPU dependent.  

[ShadowCaptain]

SNIP  

 

Its CPU dependant but still requires a decent GPU, getting an i3 pretty much means getting no GPU/super weak GPU since its a good deal more expensive, 

 

Also means if OP fancies any other games in the future the PC is capable of running CS:GO at like 100fps and most other games too

Plus an i5 can be fitted in the future if needed, the pentium even at stock will run CS:GO perfectly

 

THAT SAID

 

If OP can spend £38 more on their budget they can get a nice i3

Bear in mind he also said "i also play mc, and would like to (When I can afford it) get into GTA5" 

 

so he definately wants a decent GPU!

 

No but I am sure he can remove the G2A part if he already has an OS , but since OP has not replied its hard to comment what they need

Ehh i3 will struggle in GTA 5 but not much. With that budget, i doubt he can get a decent gaming system for GPU with a good cpu and good gpu that will run GTA 5 fine.
