Brand and model would be nice, if its from dell throw it away, You'll want a new one. 200 dollars can get you a decent CPU and motherboard. Unless you want a Pentium and cheap Z97 board Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/430418-need-help-on-a-basic-pc/#findComment-5771919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand and model would be nice, if its from dell throw it away, You'll want a new one. 200 dollars wont get you a decent CPU and motherboard, you could proably only get a graphics card that could run 720p and maybe 1080 for $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127761 For $200? You could get a GPU that can max out titles at 1080p w/ 60FPS! What are you smoking?

Posted August 15, 2015 But he needs a cpu, motherboard and storage. I know, but he was saying a $200 GPU would only play decent at 720P, which is entirely wrong.

I don't get what your trying to say here. That card can do 4K with 30FPS avg. What's your point? I was correcting him in saying that a $200 card would be great at 1080p.
