If he was prepared to spend $600, I know saving money is good, but why aren't we encouraging a better gpu? He had $131 to spend on a gpu if he bought the pre-bilt. I am not saying "Buy a GTX 1070", but recommend at least a 4 gig card. The RX 470 or RX 570 is by far the best option for his budget while raising the cost about $20. Arma 3 is more cpu intensive than most, so gpu is not the biggest part, but he is not going to be getting very much out of that build with a 1050 2 gb, and we all know it.

Because OP stated that they don't want to play demanding games, mostly just Arma 2

 

It still does a fine job as an entry point with lowered settings on some games

Not totally true, I do not know what you mean by demanding but I also would like to play OW on relatively high quality at good fps as well as any game I might run into that I want, not like gta or anything though

I know EC, but I'm pretty sure that won't be the only game he'll want to play, and the 2 gb 1050 is overwhelmed now. What if he wants to play, idk, The Witcher 3, or Crysis, or, gheesh, he'll be replacing the 1050 with a $200+ card in a few months. I could be wrong and he may be playing just Arma 2 for the next few years. *shrugs* 2 gb is just too low.

I think you should still get the $472 list up there, since the graphics will let you play any game you want for the next couple years without worrying whether you can play it or not

Just examples. GTA V is a cpu instensive game as well. If you are looking for 45+ fps at high graphic settings (even in 1080p) the 4 gig 570 becomes even more important.

No I said I wasnt getting GTA, ever. Just used it as a medium, so something that can run high quality on OW or something

I do not wish to get that. the cheaper one seems alright if it can run OW and arma

[crzyces]

I am just using it as an example. If you want graphics set to high (below ultra, above medium) and decent fps @ 1080 p you'll need a better card, even for games like Arma. GTA V or Witcher are games I just pulled out of my squash of examples of games in general. We've just saved you over $100 USD, and you get a better PC. Youshould be happy, not sad focusing on games you won't play. Any game I use, switch with whatever you like from 2014-the present.

When was I ever sad? Arma I am told can run fine on the $397 build, so I am going with that. I primarily will be playing OW, CSGO, and arma.

You should be fine for now with the 1050 and the $400 build. But when a year later you come here wanting to upgrade you'll remember me

Pay a little more and you can run Arma 3 dude

Can run Arma 3 on a 1050 as well. Arma 3 doesn't take much GPU at all. All CPU (and on a single thread, it's really a horribly optimized game)

True and true but its only $30 difference to get a 1050 ti, worth it IMO as the card will last much longer and run everything better right now
