Hey guys! So i have a bad news..., Well, first i had 150$for my gpu upgrade and suddenly my dad says it's 30$ now! :(. WTF is it? I 'm like wanting to kill him for money :angry: . well, i can put some money from my savings though :D , but, many of them are in my bank deposits, how the hell am i gonna take it? But still, right now, i have 20$ in my pocket, so, i'll add that to my budget. 

 

Today,I was gonna buy the 7770 2gb gpu from asus,But, which one should i buy now? for 50$ max?

 

Please help me buy a gpu ( budget :50$ :( ). I don't know why he is doing it :(. Sad on the last day of the year :(

 

Well, My mobo as you might know, is a MSI G31TM-P21. Check out this site of msi to see my pci slots and other information. And, also check by below specs (sig) . not the mac, the first one.

I'd rather just save up more and buy a GPU later then get something crappy now with $50. $50 won't get you much.

I wouldn't recommend buying a gpu for $50. Save up you're money.

Thought so... :(

$50 is hardly enough to invest in a decent graphics card.

Save up some more first.

Intergrated gpu will do you fine for those.

celeron? Huh? only a person who own celeron (420) and wants to play some games knows the feeling. And, on top of it, it's 10+ years old.

To be honest $50 won't get you anything, but frustration. Save up for a 7770 (or equivalent r2's and oc never the less). Don't be sad, plus, many gpu are actually on sale int he holidays, and with the lunch of other gpu's. 

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

I suppose I should have figured you have a old ass cpu as well. Well if you can use your macbook pro to game. You seriously need to save, then do an APU build.

I can play most games like Mw3,nfs mw12,bf3,bioshock infinite, crysis2 & crysis 3 @ 720p on medium to high settings with above 45 fps on my hd6670 .....except for crysis which has be on low for playable framerate!

But for 50 $ i doubt anything good even for 720p gaming is present!

You need more funds.....

Tell your dad, that if you get a $50 card, on sale now, your going to have to get something better in a week or two anyway (obsolete), and you may loose money. Reason with him man, I have seen 7770's on regular sale for $80, flexible., ehy?

I had to argue with my family when I was younger as well, no worries  ;)

400$ is barley enough for a single build.

God I am going to fill old for saying this but why not go out and earn the money and not rely on dad? When I was 15 I had to earn that 100$ for my 56.6k modem

What? Why?

because if you went out and earned some money you could get a proper gpu? which you don't have atm?..

and you shouldn't really buy anything that is much below a 7770 to be honest.. keep your money.

Well, i liked you post, but by what and why, i mean why he did so..
