Looking for a Budget Gaming PC Build For CS:GO that can run cs:go at around 150+ fps.
Any Idea's?? Don't want to put too much money into the build.
 
Hey RainbowCasper,
US dollar is up, and Canadian is down right now, therefore all of the prices I'm getting are super high, and getting a lower tier PC would still cost around 500-600.

Here are 4 build's I've made for fun, although you should wait a bit until the economy is a lot better, resulting in lower prices.

Can you give me an estimate of how much fps each build might run??
 


Hey, sorry for the late reply,

The first build is the cheapest, and if you were to turn down a few settings, you would easily achieve 60FPS.

For all of the other builds, you will be able to run the game at 150+ FPS, keep in mind that you would have to turn SOME settings down like Anti-Aliasing or Texture Details. With all builds, your resolution should run at Native 1080x1920 (again, keep those settings in mind).

I believe that the last 2 builds I made should run everything maxed out at 1080x1920 no problem.
