Upgrading a pre-build or building a ryzen apu

[bederrhan]

Hi guys,
All of my gaming experience was on a cheap old pc that could run Cs:go on 30 fps on the lowest setting, i was getting tiered of how slow it was and i wanted to play games like fortnite,gta and rainbow.
So i convinced my parents to get a pc. I don’t want to go too expensive but is has to be a desent pc
It has to run all the new games on low-meduim and it has to be under 400$

So i did some research and the best ideal i found was a ryzen apu(2200g)
Or
Upgrading a prebuild
I have the proper knowledge to do both of these but wich would be better.
Thx😉

If you move over your Storage you can build something using the parts below into a new case this will allow for future upgrades that a prebuilt would limit you from being able to do later on. (motherboard/processor and larger videocards)

EDIT: As for prebuilt machines personally I am unable to find much in that price rage most 2200g based computers run 450 and above and the one that was less than 400 that I did find only had 4GB ram and that was -> https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Pavilion-590-P0020-Natural-Silver-Desktop-Tower-AMD-Ryzen3-2200G-Processor-4GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-AMD-UMA-Graphics-Keyboard-Mouse-Windows-10-DVD/744443593?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227159149775&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=269486745001&wl4=pla-447528443731&wl5=9021964&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=744443593&wl13=&veh=sem

I think purchasing a new rig would be a bad investment. If you only have $400 you would get better experience, graphically speaking with a gaming console or possibly by adding an appropriate GFX card. Complete specs/ make and model numbers including the PSU will help us answer the upgrade question.


The computer is usually called a PC, gaming PC, gaming rig. An APU usually refers to a CPU(central processing unit) manufacturer by AMD that also has a GFX chip integrated into the CPU. It's a low end GFX solution for those building a HTPC(home theater PC), workstation, office PC or other PC that doesn't require a higher end separate and dedicated graphics card.

Getting a new rig will do the charm and apu is the best option for you in your range. AMD Ryzen 2200G is a good option if you want to be within budget and if you can add some extra amount then I will prefer you to get your hands on a Nvidia 1050Ti for smooth 1080p gaming.
