Hello,

 

Today I come to this forum seeking some much needed help with a new budget build.

 

My Budget is $350 USD 

 

My Goal is to run League of Legends at 144 fps and play Overwatch at 60 fps. 

If either of these are unobtainable with $350 let me know

Another note is that i MUST have a cpu with 4 cores, for personal reasons.

 

I don't have any parts picked out for the time being but would love some reccomendations. I will probably end up with a micro atx tower. 

 

I will update post as needed

 

This is also my first post on the forum so be gentle with me....

It is about 10-20$ out of budget depending on the case, but im sure you can find the money somewhere.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

No gpu i noticed, will that be an issue? Does this ryzen have its own graphics?

It has onboard grafics Radeon Vega 8 but you'll have to tweak the game settings down quite a bit before hitting those fps you want.

An apu build such as @Origami Cactus's build would probably be the best bet if you're going for new stuff. If you're willing to, though, with that kind of a budget you might want to look for used stuff.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
