Hard to make do with such low budget, especially given that US currency has absolutely nothing to do with your local one.

 

It would be easier if you gave us your current PC's full specs so that we could think of an upgrade.

that is VERY difficult, and hard to do remotely. Look at the used market near you, and go from there.

So do you need a monitor, OS and peripherals?

well, you get what you pay for. A cheaper AMD cpu wont perform as well as a slightly more expensive intel CPU. Normally this wouldnt matter, but GTA V is a very CPU intensive game. I strongly suggest you look at the used marked. the 300$ PCs from Scrapyard wars S1 was excellent for the price.

So your budget is 250-300 for the CPU only?

This is honestly the cheapest I would go, if you are trying to run modern games like GTA V.

Thanx. its a good deal..... :-)

If you can find a good deal on something like a used i5 2500K that would be even better. You will need a to find a motherboard for it also though.

Yes, but they aren't better. Save your money and see what else comes along. Or look at the used market near you.
