[Mister_007]

Hello,im thinking about upgrading my pc and i dont know what to choose a apu+motherboard or a gpu?I want the upgrade for casual gaming,not anything crazy

my cpu is:AMD athlon II x2 250 3ghz

mobo: GF615M-P33v1.3

graphics:nvidia GeForce 7025/ nForce 630a

Ram : 8gb ddr3

Soo yeah thats it,tell me what you think i should do

Well, generaly GPU is important for gaming more than a CPU...but if CPU isn't strong enough(I don't know if your one is or not) it may be a bottleneck. That means that the CPU will be the one slowing your PC down. CPU passes the informations to the GPU so if it can't do that quick enough, then the GPU won't be able to perform at it's best.
Which game are you going to play and what is your budget?

quad core phenom II 945 and a rx 460



make sure your power supply is at least 300w and you get a 460 that does not need pcie cables for additional power

Lol,CS:Go,this war of mine,load out....games like that and my budget is around 200 euros.

i only need a cpu(Or an apu) a mobo and a gpu (if not an apu)

Buy a GPU then.
RX 460 or GTX 1050ti

RX 460 or GTX 1050ti

So with one of those i should be able to run those games with a good frame rate?

 

[ZaneDragon]

LOL and CS:GO for sure, don't really know for other ones.
I hope your CPU will keep up.

You can even get an RX470 for less then 200€ on NewEgg:

Then later on if you will have another 200€ to spend, you can get yourself an i3 with a new board.
For now you can deside between RX 460, RX 470 or GTX 1050ti.
The second one (RX 470) will give you the best performance.

Oh if it can run cs go and lol it can run the athers,and the only thing i need now is a power supply,one with 500W should be good
Thanks for the help mate

Stick with the trusted brands. Corsair, Cooler Master, EVGA,...
I don't know this one so the answer is no. A bad PSU may hurt your other components.
