Hi everyone, 

So this is probably a very common question but i thought id ask it specifically for myself. 

 

Im building a new budget pc for study and for a few games. What i need to know is what graphics card i should by ? 

The only games i play are WoW, Dota 2, Hearthstone and CS:Go. 

None of these games really require graphics power and i dont intened on changing anytime soon, its been the same for years. I even still play cod4mw1 on the off chance. 

 

Suggestions ? 

 

Thanks =]

I recommend the I5 4460 and DDR3 over the I3, simply better performance over new hardware. 

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.
