super cheap micro gaming build?

[S.S.Dragon]

the main game i play atm is Team Fortress 2. i get 30 fps max on the lowest settings (its bad, i know hahah). money is tight, so this build would be long term till i can get a beast gaming setup. 

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qYcMBm if i could at least get a solid 60-100 fps on med settings with that setup. i'd be happy. TF2 is going to be releasing matchmaking soon and would love to get into the competitve soon, but this pc could ever do it

At this price range you would be better off going used

[PlayStation 2]

You NEED a better PSU. You NEED a better CPU. You don't NEED a 750 Ti to max out TF2.

You don't need a quad core for TF2. This is pretty much a lower clocked Pentium.

Is your name a Undertale nod?

Yeah, but I feel it is a waste on GPU. Intel's iGPUs are getting better.

Not the Celeron's iGPU. That's literally where the Celerons save money. Also a Pentium G3258 doesn't pose much of a benefit.

What are you saying? You are confusing me.

[S.S.Dragon]

yes TF2 is my main game, but i am wanting to play dishonored/dishonored 2 from time to time, even on the lowest settings, and besige. so i think an actual GPU would be more helpful than not using one.

 

dont you dare say dual core is enough for TF2. the crappy pc i use now is a dual core and it sucks. my sister has a quad core laptop and tf2 runs so much better on that laptop than this thing they call a computer

 

also stop with the undertale crap, im tired of having to read it everywhere i go hahaha

Coming from someone who knows their shit about APUs, don't get a 7850K if you get an APU.

Get an A8-7600. It's not even gonna matter which A8/10 Kaveri APU you get for Team Fortress 2.

Do they have the same GPU? That's what I was after in this.

No, they do not. However, there are two things as to why this won't matter. One, the extra GPU cores don't matter in most games. Two, TF2 is optimized like fucking trash.
