I am asking if anyone can help me i am thinking about building an AMD computer but i wondered what are good components for it, i want to play counter strike GO on 60-150 FPS But i am on a budget .
Can anyone please send me specs :)
Thank you
 
I just threw a build together for someone real quickish. He was asking me what he can get for around $500. He mentioned he needed a monitor, KB, and mouse so I told him to get more money 😛 Again, knowing your budget is very important. The only thing not included was the Windows OS. Everything else including the monitor came to about $620. This was a few days ago, so sorry if some of the prices don't match up anymore. Any components you don't need?

Monitor - How big do you want to go? $100-$150 or more.
