hi 

in the last few years I was using in the Xbox 1 as my main game center and now I am  starting to get some thoughts about back playing on the pc

games like PUBG and stuff like that.

I don't have to option to buy a new pc right now because of that I am thinking about upgrade my system in a few bucks hope by using used stuff

my pc: 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz socket LGA 1156

GIGABYTE P55A-UD3

8 GB Ram DDR 3 1.333

Nvidia Gtx 260 

 

so, can I do something that can help me use this pc for little bit more time? 

thank you!!! 

Eliel

Upgrading from the 260 to something cheap like a 1050 ti/RX 570 would make a world of difference for your gaming experience. 

Also, you could try buying used last gen. cards like a 970/980; those cards would give you a bit more for your money (just be wary of scams on ebay).  That said, I'd definitely suggest upgrading your other components in the near future. 

"Hyper Demon" Build: 

Case: NZXT H440 Hyper Beast.  CPU: AMD R9 3900x (cooled by a Kraken X62).  GPU: AMD XFX RX 6900XT Merc 319 Black.  RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 32GB ram @3600mhz.  Mobo: Asus Crosshair VI hero. PSU: Corsair RM850x.  Boot drive: Samsung 960 evo 500gb nvme ssd.  Game storage: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA SSD.  Bulk storage: WD Black 2TB.

You can get away with that rig with just a simple 1050(ti) or 560/570. The upgrade should be no more than $200 depending on where you live.
