Does I need a gaming computer?

[TamirTP]

Hmm... My computer is growing older, and while thinking of an upgrade - I have started to think about what computer I really need.
I'm not looking for the best results, I'm looking only for something that will run the games and programs nicely, no need for the best graphics ever neither lightning speed acting.
I just made a short list of games I'm playing right now/looking to play in the near future:
FIFA 17
NBA 17
Assassin Creed
Dota 2
Starcraft II
GTA V

hmm - so, does I really need a strong pc?
and if yes - is there any way of buying one cheaply?
can I just upgrade my already existing pc into one which will do the job?
Thanks!

Which Assassin's Creed?

For GTA V, which is probably the heaviest game on that list, you'll want at least 8GB RAM (2x4GB sticks, not 1x8GB) a GeForce GTX 960 (or whatever the AMD equivalent is) or higher GPU, and an i5-4690 or higher CPU.
