My budget is $403 or maybe raise it to 450 or max 500. This is very challenging for me since the my budget sucks and I can't do anything about it. So I need ur ideas. I need ideas for, maybe the best for the budget cuz I know there is a lot to consider when it comes to building pc and I'm so very new to this. So please help me. I mainly play PUBG and maybe for the future triple A games.

PS: Btw prices are much lower than bnew cuz most of it are used. And prices are not based on US.

The only "gaming" option presented would be the i7-2600 + 560TI, but the GPU specifically is pretty weak by 2018 standards, and I'd highly suggest that firehazard PSU be replaced ASAP.

The i7-3770 is the strongest "gaming" CPU, but it's going to be a SFF motherboard which may or may not allow upgrades......You'd need more RAM (likely), PSU and Case (definitely.


The first option, with a G4600 is a solid offering, for a modern platform. It's on the very budget end though and the DualCore aspect will hinder you in PUBG, especially compared to the i7-3770.

the last one is the most promising as is. add a better GPU and it is good gaming system.
the optiplex is a slim case with limits the GPU choice.
with the pentium kinda slide show.

What if replace the gpu and I put in a gtx 950? and I don't think I can play at 60fps on 1080p so I im going for 720p

Im not likely going for the i7-2600 since there is a 3700 but that is my last option I think. Ya i know that the 3700 is the strongest here but my question is would it hit stable 60fps on pubg 720p? paired with IDK 950 maybe?. And what do you mean by "It's on the very budget end though and the DualCore aspect will hinder you in PUBG, especially compared to the i7-3770".

 

[Barty1884]

The G4600 is a Dual Core with Hyper Threading - which makes it 'behave' like a 4 core.... but it's not going to be as strong as one.

The 3770 is a 4/Quad Core, with Hyper Threading - going to be much stronger in CPU intensive titles, like PUBG.

At 720p, you should be able to hit 60FPS without issue with something like a 950. You may have to tweak some settings, depending on the specific GPU you end up with.

you can put the best GPU you can afford. the i7-2600 system will have no problem with it

 

[earltop123]

ohhhh I understand now. So now I'm thinking on getting the 3770 shove in 950. Now my question is what decent 720p monitor should I choose?. I play on 1080p monitors on comp shop and turned down the resolution to 720p it looks like garbage. and I heard that 720p reso is not ok on 1080p monitors. Maybe that was the problem

 

[Barty1884]

That system sounds like it's a small form factor, so dropping a 950 in there may not be possible - you may have to transplant to another case, which brings it's own 'quirks'.

As for 720p monitors, they're not too-too common these days, and will depend on local availability. A native resolution monitor is always going to be a better idea than non-native.

 

[n0ns3ns3]

dude, you can not put 950 into optiplex slim tower !!!
it's too small to house full height GPUs

 

[earltop123]

Don't worry about the slim type thingy ofc I will replace it xD. and Thanks for the help it narrowed my choices

 

[n0ns3ns3]

good luck with proprietary connectors on dell MB.

 

[earltop123]

Now I'm gonna buy the 3770 with that case. I will look for a processor only as I've found out it too freaking hard to remove
