Basic computer

I'm planning on buying the HP Pavilion Computer Bundle - AMD Dual Core@ 2.50GHz, 160GB HDD, 4GB RAM, Windows 7. This computer is a MT and I want to use it to play games. The games I want to play are Subnautica, Fortnite, PC Building Simulator and Battlefield 3 or 4. I don't want to play these games at 1080p Ultra settings or anything of that nature but 720p medium is good enough for me. I wanted to know if I could at least play fortnite on it and if I couldn't what upgrades I should buy for it. I'm buying this computer from doing people's homework so I'm kinda broke here.

You can probably get something better than that by going to an electronics dump.

well there isn't that many options where I live. People wanted $100USD for a desktop with a Core 2 Duo and this is the best computer I could find that was within driving distance. The Rio Grande Valley in Texas doesn't have much to offer when it comes to computers

save up to around $150, get a used i5+8gb prebuilt off ebay and a 750ti.

Is this one better? I'm not that good when determining what computer parts are better than the other

 

better, but 4gb of ram will still choke in games.

try this:

I found this one. I know it's an i3 but it's within my price range. During summer you really don't get that many people that need their homework to be done.

I would go for something like i5-2400 with 8gb of ram. 4gb wont do it for some games and it may not be a good experience. Add there 750ti or hd 7790 and you should be good to go
