Hello all,
I am looking to build a budget gaming desktop. I have $400, and I have came up with two variations, an Intel one and an AMD one. Please remain unbiased when answering the following questions.
-Will this be able to run most game on low-medium settings at 768p?
-Where could I upgrade, without spending too much more cash?
-Which one is better?
