€300 Gaming PC enough to run CS:GO?

[BrewthNote]

Will that be enough to run Counter Strike Global Offensive? I need the Keyboard & Mouse since i don't have them at the moment.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

I see you don't have a GPU selected - are you planning to use the intel integrated graphics?

Yes i am since people told me CS:GO isn't very graphically intensive

You cant put a G3220 in a H81 motherboard - the I3 is LGA 1155 and the H81 is LGA 1150. They are physically incompatible

Which website are you using? Its not alternate.nl.- azerty.nl? Maybe is you use http://tweakers.net/ you can find the lowest prices.

I will urge you to find another 50 EUR to top it up to 350. Then you can get some nice performance going.

Considering your budget, I will change your motherboard, CPU and RAM to AMD platform.

http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/377492/kingston-hyperx-fury-black-hx318c10fbk2-8.html

This will give you a lot higher performance then any Intel within your budget.

I am also using GeiL Black Dragon RAM - like the one you listed, but for an AMD platform with integrated graphics, I switched it out for a higher bandwidth RAM which will help out.


I would also change the power supply to a be quiet! 350W. It may be 100W less than the Corsair VS, but the be quiet! System Power line uses better capacitors than the Corsair CX and VS.

OK, it isn't too graphically intensive but you may want to buy a cheap card - if you really don't want to buy one, you will be able to run it on low or it's default settings.

Shneiky, are you sure about that since they are both LGA1150, the G3220 is LGA1150 and so is the motherboard. I am using Afuture.nl

Honestly I think you'd have a better time looking online for people selling used parts rather than buying a system, just make sure everythings compatible

 

[BrewthNote]

I am okay if you increase the max price to 350, however i do want to keep the KB & Mouse

maybe something like this should do the trick

 

[BrewthNote]

Can you guys send me more builds? 350 euros in total with the KB & Mouse

Also are you sure that the H81/G3220 won't work?

 

[Shneiky]

Yes, thanks for correcting me. I forgot that Intel has some screwed naming scheme and the Pentiun G3220 is rated as a 3000 series instead of 4000. But you should stick to at least A10 7700 and 8 GBs of RAM. The GPU inside the 7700 is rather powerful compared to all the Intel Integrated graphics and all the sub 60-70 EUR dedicated video cards. The 7700 will beat Pentium G with a dedicated graphics card for 50-60 EUR.

the H8I and Pentium G3200 would work fine

however for a budget oriented system an amd APU such as the A10 7700 or a AMD A4-6300 and a gpu would perform way better than the pentium

 

[Shneiky]

On a side note - I used to have a G840 on a P67 board with a GT520. I know how much a Pentium G is capable of and it is not that much. Then I went for a 2700k. Then I changed the GT520 to 650Ti. Then I moved to Z77. And the old combo is now in my father's hands and he is happy with it - but he does not game. Intel gives a nice upgrade path, but if you don't want to upgrade then just stick with AMD. AMD is unbeatable if you want a budget friendly PC that you buy once and be done with it.
