Go to solution Solved by ThE_MarD,

why not its low end hardware and fps is key 

 

i will go with that cpu,ram,mobo just got a message back for a friend and he's giveing me a 280x for 100 you think 500W is enough for that

Heyyo,

That is PLENTY of PSU for that. :)

My PcPartPicker build puts it around 303W estimate. You have a really big safety buffer.

If he's selling you a 280X for $100 AUD and still have that $500 AUD for the CPU, RAM and Motherboard? You could even upgrade the CPU to an i5 for that price point still. ;)

But since it's such a low budget? You can do better on a pure AMD build for the GPU and still get a good CPU.

Seriously though, you can't play CSGO on a 720p screen, TRUST ME this isn't 2005 anymore

Lower your settings! CSGO isn't a demanding game anyway, you could run it without a GPU on low settings
