According to can my pc run it or whatever that website is called my PC can run Counter strike just fine except for the CPU not meeting minimum requirements... here is all my info my computer is telling me about itself.
Manufacturer:


Acer


Model:

Aspire XC-115

Processor: AMD E2-6110 APU
AMD Radeon R2
Graphics 1.50 GHz

RAM:4.00 GB

System type: 64 bit Operating system, x64 based processor

I know very little about computers but want to upgrade my CPU so that I can continue to play my game....which I am having fun playing except for a little sketchiness....which isn't really a word I'd appreciate the help anyone.
 
Hi, you got an APU there, which means the CPU and GPU are attached together. More precisely, your GPU is integrated onto your CPU. Although a separate processor and graphics card would be ideal for gaming, CS GO should be able to run on APUs. What resolution are you playing on? Higher resolutions can greatly decrease fps. You know, many professional players prefer using 1024x768 with black bars.

Now if you were to upgrade your processor, you'd also have to get a discrete graphics card. A good and cheap CPU for your needs would be an i3 4150 and for GPU, I'd recommend an AMD R9 270 or Nvidia GTX 750ti. You'd also need to get a motherboard that supports the LGA 1150 socket of the i3 4150. Of course, you could just upgrade your APU if you're on a tight budget.
