PC good price? / Upgrade path

JackyPhilibooty · December 27, 2016

Hello, I recently bought a computer that has a intel core 2 quad q6600, and 4gb of ram, i am not yet sure of ddr 2 or 3. I was wondering what my upgrade path would look like, i was going to add 2 stick of 2gb ram since my motherboard supports 4, it has a 500gb hard drive so im good there, and i wanted to add a 750ti. The base system is a Dell Optiplex DT. Could these upgrades of the ram and gpu be possible, and if so; could it run CS:GO, League of Legneds, and Overwatch at a steady framerate. Btw the total build and upgrade cost would be around $200. I think its a pretty good deal but im not sure how it would perform.

that is a good build if your just playing csgo but i would recamend getting a 1050 or 1050ti instead, or on the amd side of things you should get a rx460. there is a low profile version of the 1050 coming out if you need it since i assume you will since its a dell optiplex. the extra 2gb of ram i also think is a good idea.

I wasnt looking to change the motherbaord because i didnt think i needed to, i do think that i would have to get a new power supply though, and i would get the 1050ti , is ther e a low profile version of that comming out soon? And cpu i dont think i would need a new one because i have the quad core q6600. ANd ram i am just adding a 2x2 4gb
