Howdy friends,
I am a perpetually broke person in need of help building a decent gaming pc that will be able to run Overwatch at a playable fps on low settings. My budget is $200~230 which is terrible, I know, but that's the best I can do. I have no idea how to build a computer.
I don't need anything insane, just something that'd work alright.
I prefer to use a prebuilt pc but I don't know if I could find one for a decent price. I found a HP Pro 6300 SFF with an Intel core i3-3220 CPU and 4gbs ram for $111.99 (it's on sale. norm is 166.98). I thought it'd be decent as it has the minimum required CPU and 4gbs ram should be good enough, but I'm afraid the power supply that I'd need for a proper graphics card would be too big for it. As I stated before, I have zero knowledge when it comes to building PCs so I'm just as good as an infant right about now. I have literally never touched Craigslist in my life. I'm expecting someone to respond by telling me that nothing will work and I am a peasant that should invest $1000+ into a PC. That may be true, however I cannot afford to do that at this time or any time soon.
My current computer is nowhere near good enough to run the game. It is very laggy but I am able to play Paladins, Elsword, and TF2 decently. I have also been able to run DmC: Devil May Cry. I could play but the fps was pretty bad.
It's a HP Compaq 4000 Pro SFF with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU (E6600) and 4 gbs ram installed. I've had it since around 2015. I was thinking that if I cannot build a new computer I could replace the CPU and add a dedicated graphics card + suitable power supply to this one, however the power supply fitting inside the case problem still remains as I believe the power supply is only 240w so it'll need replacing.
My current monitor's display is 1600x900. I'm not sure if that's too important, but every little bit helps I suppose.
I do not expect much out of what I might be able to get, I don't even expect the game to run with 40 fps on Medium settings. I am willing to sacrifice graphics to have a playable game.
