Hey all,

 

I'm soon going to be selling my Wii U for about £300 and I would like to buy a PC setup specifically for CS:GO only. I know it doesn't take much power to run, but I'd like 300 FPS or so. It's just for CS:GO as I will be building a high-end gaming PC in a few years once I get a better job.

 

Thanks.

I built my rig for CS:GO also. It cost me about 500 bucks. You could do it for much cheaper by swapping out my motherboard for a cheaper one. I spent 120 on mine, but you could pick one up that would work for like 40 bucks.

 

750ti is a pretty modest card but you could save even more by getting a used 550 or something.

 

Here is my rig

Here is an edit of my machine. It now uses a stock cooler, cheaper mobo and less expensive hard drive. Still over 300 bucks but it's a start.

Please include CSGO FPS too

around 100fps or so, enough for a smooth experience. if you're using a 144hz monitor, then stretch your budget and get a gtx 950.

C'mon man, my build with a Skylake CPU and GTX 960 smokes that thing.  Even a GTX 950 in my build for £295 smokes it.

True, you think I could run other games on it? (R6S, GTA V etc.)

GTAV, no.  That game want 4 cores... minimum i3 or 860K.  What is R6S?
