According to Game-debate the 220 is a better card

But the 5450 supports directx 11, but that really does not matter because it is so old it wont be able to play any directx 11 games

Honestly, neither, you would get better 'performance' out of a cheap $200 laptop from Walmart. Those are over 5 and 6 year old cards, no longer supported (i.e. you can't get DRIVERS for them to make your computer understand how to use them) and don't have enough 'power' to generate even on the lowest settings for any graphics for any of the games (unless your talking say the original HalfLife or such from 6+ years ago).

Really if your budget is that low ball park, spend $149 @ Gamestop get a PS4 refurb and you be a heck of alot better playing 'system'.

Yeah those FX6300 were dumped 5 years ago when they couldn't play BF3 and such because the demand was too HIGH even when bundled with a decent (expensive) Video card.

Your refurbed PS4 will outperform it, get high graphics, high speed on current and FUTURE titles (they all have to be able to meet PS4 standards to be allowed to be sold on the PS platform) and cost alot less. Plus free Wireless Controller, BlueRay Player, Headset, etc. (over $400 of 'PC' parts bought seperately).

PC gaming side is still PAY to PLAY. You need to invest AT LEAST $750 for the proper hardware AND Windows License to play on the PC side at a decent rate / graphics to 'see' the game (unless you want to see single digit game play and 'refuse' to load because your hardware is 'incompatible').

That $750 number is a good bit high, things have changed a bit you can now run any game at high setting for $650 or so including the os

Well honestly, if you review posts like this, and the numerous others now that school is about to start, tend to be kids with $10-20 pocket change trying to get "like I seen on Youtube" which is 2560x1080 60FPS ULTRA Graphics settings on FallOut4 or such. The 'Youtube expectation' is the bar 90% of the people posting use, repeatedly pointing back to in response as well (yes there is NO way a DualCore P4 CpU with DDR2 GTX 210 is getting 60FPS 1080HD on GTA V but I seen it on Youtube!!!).
