Hi people.

 

I have a few components lying around for my first ever PC build, and I know they're not great and they're not going to be playing the latest games, but I don't need them to be. I just need to be able to use Microsoft Office, browse the web and YouTube, and play Football Manager 2016. I currently have the following parts:

 

CPU: Intel Celeron G1820

RAM: Crucial 2x2GB 1600

HD: Seagate Barracuda 750GB

 

I am thinking of getting the GeForce GT 730 as my GPU, but wanted to see firstly, what you guys think and secondly, if this is any good. I already know you're screaming to hold off, save a bit of money and get a better card, but I just want to get on and build this thing, upgrading as time goes along. My maximum budget for a GPU at the moment is, unfortunately, £60

 

Thanks in advance!!

My current laptop: HP Compaq Presario CQ62

A 750ti would be my bet so that you can eventually get a cheap q6600

The 560 is better in general and I'm not a fan of eBay but I'll post the comparison site http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-560-vs-GeForce-GT-730
