At this kind of price? Even with AMD, you still can't get a good pc. Raise your price and accept AMD, or get used.

This.  I don't know why you're so against AMD products, but even buying the most budget components, you're not going to be able to play GTA V for that price.

$200 is a budget for a graphics card alone....

Yeah, I'd love to help, but at that price you're not going to possibly manage with intel and nvidia unless you buy all refurbished or used parts.

Thanks the first person that might be really willing to help at all.

Its going to be hard to get a good NVIDIA card in that price range. You're going to have to go with old Intel CPUs like a q6600. You should tell your friend to suck it up and use an AMD card. He'll get more for his money

Pentium G3258, cheap h97 board, 4GB of RAM.  If even that works.  Pretty ridiculous budget.

Ive tried and he dosent want it. For an older CPU would a q6700 work for that price or does it have to be a q6600 or older.

[lolsmurfzs]

your budget without amd is like solving the pc vs console war. IMPOSSIBLE!!

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FJKkkL That's about as low as you're going to get. No case. Make one out of some lumber or something.

Not that we dont wanna help, but your friend's requirements and budget is impossible for a half-decent gaming pc.
