    Low budget PC

    Hello i need to get myself new Motherboard,CPU,RAM and GPU so heres the list.
    - Budget - Around 250euros
    - Resolution - 1440x900
    - Games i play - WoW Legion and Dota 2
    - Country - Serbia
    So,as mentioned i need only those 4 parts,since rest are okay,just to mention i have nothing against,actually i prefer,buying USED parts,which means they don't have to be new.
    What i hope for is just 60 fps on all lowest settings in Dota 2 and for WoW legion i just need to run as much as possible to be smooth for raiding,also in lowest settings,thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    This guys channel is fine for budget options, and we'll...its good edits. Do a SSD and I5 CPU in that build and should be fine on 1440p without max settings in any games.

    Maybe if 1060 is still to costly go with a 970..? Dunno about prices and all. Id figure a 960 is not gonna hold up on 1440p without at least an I5 or I3 with loow settings.

    Edit: but again value that CPU if you mainly play WoW.

    I think your best bet is looking for a used i5-2500K, a LGA1155 p67/z68 board, 4-8Gb of DDR3-1600 and an older gpu like GTX 660/Ti. This would allow you to play on ultra.
    @Djuntas his budget is 250e, no way he's getting even a new i3+mb+ram+gpu.

    How big difference is between i5- 2500k and i5- 2500?

    The 'k' means you can overclock it, and will extend the lifetime of your computer performance wise by a year or 2. Just make sure your motherboard supports it.

    I found this one
    MB LGA1155 DDR3 SATA3 HDMI MSI Z77A-G43
    I think it can work for that processor

    Yea, Z77 is good too but might be too expensive for your budget, check prices of p67/z68 too.

    I can't seem to find any of those Motherboards here in Serbia with price lower than 100euros

    That's really expensive.

    I just checked some websites, it's 110-115, that's a no go.

    Hmm then ya he will have to go used. Heck anything i3/15 sandy bridge is fine for WoW. Quick check on ebay you can get a i3-2120 and motherboard for under 100 US, but i dont know how that translates to his currency.

    What should be better option i5 2500 or i3 2120?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I got 2120 for 34e and 2500 for 55e

    The quad core for sure, more future proof.

    Yup, any 1155 motherboard will support that.

    Here are all the chipsets:

    Also on your search for a used GPU try and find a gtx 770, around me they are the best price/performance ratio.

  17. #17
    770 is 50 euros expansive than 660

  18. #18
    Hmm probably not worth it then. Around here you can get a 770 for 90 bucks, 660's are around 60. How about gtx 660ti/670 or 760?

  19. #19
    670 is over 250 euros and 760 around 200

  20. #20
    How much is the 660? Thats probably your best bet.
