My friend wants me to order parts and put together a PC for him for as cheep as possible. The only thing this PC will be used for is to play Counter Strike Global Offensive. He already has a hard drive that he can use as well as a mouse, monitor and keyboard. Btw we're in Canada, so the stuff needs to be shipped to Canada.

As cheep as possible, that can still run counter strike at 1080p lowest settings at at least 60fps. If you can come up with a pc for 20 bucks then post that. but if it take 500 bucks then post that.

He doesn't wanna upgrade it in the future, or do anything else at all with it. Just counter strike. He uses his laptop for everything else.

I'm sorry but I don't believe that. My friend has a Pentium G3220 and 730 and runs 100 FPS

Well I'm going to suggest something more unique, At least that's what I'd build if I had a spare $500

7850k CS:GO, the 7800 is going to perform about the same,

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

My own main gaming rig is:

A10 7850k with msi a68hsomething MB combo for 109

8 gig 2133 ram 55 bucks

T2 cooler 15 bucks (if you go with 7870k use stock cooler)

Old case and PSU and old SATA 1 tb HD....no cost

Any PSU that has standard ATX connectors will work

 

The A10 78xx was designed specifically for CSGO, DOTA2 etc

If he wants you can now find r7 250's for 40 bucks on ebay and I saw one for 30 bucks on craigslist, that and the 240 work in dual graphics mode on the A10

One guy on youtube screwed his A10-7850k with MB to a piece of plywood and hung it on a wall to save 30 bucks for a case....gotta love it:)
