Is dual Graphics worth it in my budget?

[Daniel_Baines2000]

Hi im building a gaming pc for a friend and he is on the tightest budget evr.

My options for cpu and gpu are as follows:

cpu-fx4170(£28)
gpu-hd7770 (£30)

or

cpu-a8-5600k(£30)
gpu-hd6670(£18)

both gpus are 1gb models.

Which combo is best price to performance? I don't care about heat, power consumption or overall performance, just price to performance.

Whats the budget? It would be much easier to find the right components this way.

Ddint mean to pick as solution (just yet anyway)

But budget is rock solid at £200 I got him up from £150.

He freaked out when I told him my 980ti cost over £400

CPU - Pentium G3258 $69.99
GPU - GTX 750ti $119.99

*edit if the 200 Euro's is for the whole PC that's going to be close to impossible.

No the budget is £200 for the whole system like evry component its craziness ik but what options are there for such a low budget.

That is a very tight budget. Dual graphics for embedded and a dedicated GPU can be hit and miss. You are probably better off with option 1.

Have you tried looking for used computers in your area?

Personally I would tell your friend to save up a little more before investing in a gaming PC. I feel he may be very disappointed with the performance especially if he's seen yours in action.

^^That's about $230US. For an entire PC build including CPU, motherboard, video card, memory, HDD, DVD drive, and PC case? Not happening. Like another said, you are better off finding a used desktop PC that can be upgraded. And even then you are looking at at least $100 for a minimally acceptable GPU upgrade (like the 750Ti).

PC gaming is more expensive than console gaming. You are better off getting a refurbished XBone or PS4 for $250 (that's what they are selling for in the US) for much better 1080p optimized performance with the games.

But to answer your question the FX4170/HD7770 is the better option.
