I'll be doing mostly old games, however i would also like to play the new games on low settings if possible! Futhermore i just want it to be a fast PC for my schoolwork!

Why the 380 2 GB version. Go for the 4 GB putting in some more money or get a 280(x) for that price

Well, i had a budget of 900 euros, and by replacing the 380 with the 280x, its over my budget.

280? Or save up a little more for the 4 GB version of 380 or 280x.

If he's doing old games, he won't need 4 gigs of graphics memory
