PLS HELP I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD BUY THIS

Alright so I want to upgrade my computer's cpu, mobo, and ram. I went on craigslist and found a guy selling an i5 4590 with the h81m-p33 motherboard and 8gb of ddr3 ram. I already have a 1050 ti in my computer and plan on playing games like playerunknown's battlegrounds and CS:GO.  Btw I am only spending 145 on everything. I am also wondering if i should upgrade anything with the 50 dollars I will have left after I buy it? Im hoping to get around 60-80 fps in battlegrounds, does anyone know if that will be possible with this build? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

It's gonna be a good upgrade. Spend the 50$ you have left on a small SSD for boot for a better general experience, or a 1TB hard drive for extra space

Alright so you can actually chill with the RAM for now, add 8GB extra later.

2 CPU's? ;)

But yeah an upgrade should do you fine.

 

So you're getting a motherboard, i5 4590 and 8GB ram for 145$?

That's a decent deal and should give you what you need in PUBG :)

I’d say go for it (use PayPal for buyer protection). You can use your current 8GB RAM for a total of 16GB, and everything should swap over nicely. As for the extra $50, what model PSU do you have?

I think my psu is ok but the motherboard that it comes with has only 2 ram slots so i might get some used ddr3 8gb sticks or maybe 1 8gb stick and 1 4gb stick.

If you can't upgrade anything else (so if you only have 50-60$ to spend), what else can you upgrade that gives you a REAL and tangible overall experience? SSD :)

With good reason, you get a massive “performance” boost. I’d doesnt actually make games faster, but everything loading in a snap makes for a much smoother and more pleasurable experience.

What model is it? If it’s a VS or sometching like that, it needs to be replaced. It’d be a shame to get all new components and then burn them out if your PSU cooks itself. And you should be fine with just 8GB RAM for now. I’ve got 12GB in my rig, 2x4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport, then one 4GB stick that’s from and old tower. Works fine for me! I’ve also got similar specs, with and i5 and 1050 Ti (full specs in sig).

Totally agree. And everyone I've suggested to go and try actually never came back, would it be very low cost work PC or high end machines.

Actually I would also suggest things like better GPU or CPU around for budget.. but GPU are out of stock since ever, and CPU low end market only has one option (G4560) so it's not much to talk about lol

You can change your title to SSD lord or something, so people know what’s coming.
