Current pc specs? For such games you dont really need a really powerful pc.

If you want to play only these games even 500-600 dollar pc would do it's job.

Even less, if we learn his pc specs.

Take a look at this System Builder Marathon article Q1 2013.

If you want to see some builds people have recommended for under $1k

You'll have to be a bit more specific. You didn't say if you needed a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc.

My current PC has 4 gb of RAM(upgraded from 2)
chipset:nvidia geforce 6100V
mainboard: emachines el1352
processor: AMD Athlon II 170u @ 2ghz
video card: nvidia Geforce 6150SE nforce 430
I already have logitech z5500 speakers and a good moniter, but if you have suggestions for a keyboard I would be grateful
Thanks in advanced


Sorry if I put my thread in the wrong catagory, I'm new to this forum.

So better for you to change everything, start from zero.
Do you want to spend all money or just enough for those games?

Spend it all because I might start playing more graphic games later.

Yeah that PC will be beyond saving at this point. It would be better to build a new rig from scratch.

I'm kind of a noob so I'm going to need help finding parts that will work and are good.

You can save some money on PSU. Get something like 650 W. It is enough and even too much
