Asking the impossible mate. Try to save up some more.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

What games or other software do you need to run?

Maybe he mean games, released before 2000? They would run maxed-out pretty well on that budget.

 

To be honest, anything could run any game before 2000 unless you have a literal potato as a PC.

nah low maybe just the CPU and GPU is like 180

My 750ti can run med-high settings on select AAA games... 500-600 series of NVIDIA go cheap, along with Radeon 7xxx GPUs.. CPUs, first Gen i5/i7s :)

Where I live a used amd fx 6300 costs around 100dollars.. I was thinking to pair it with a used gtx 670 for about 115 dollars.. And 8 gigs of ram with a asus mobo. Won't that be enough??

Look deeper.

Like i5-750s or i7-960s, Phenom X6s, maybe even i5-2400-2500ks.

For GPUs, look at GTX 480s, 570s-580s, 670s-680s. For AMD look into Radeon 78xx or 79xx cards. What you've got.is good. Don't listen to what people say about that CX, it is far better then some cheap.HP prebuilt PSU

Dual graphics is about one of the most useless things around, for desktops at least

the 670 isnt 1080p ultra material. the 780 ti is better

besides the i5 760 islike on par with the fx 6300
