Am looking to replace my current pc cause well... athlon xp 2700 ati 9200 etc etc you get the picture.
My budget is very tight so I can't afford new parts plus due to the euro/dollar rate the prices gone sky high last months.
So my only way out is the used parts market. i have spotted a set right in my price range which consist of Msi 770 c45
Athlon x3 425 unlocked-->Phenom x4 B25 2x2gb 1600mhz ram and Msi Gt430,
For my daily activities is really good -web browsing, internet videos, movies etc- but am thinking getting back at WOW.
What i wonna know is if this set up is able of running the game smoothly at low - medium setting the way it is.
I know that the gpu is not up to par but i will probably replace it when i have the money with an don't know r250, r260 -open to suggestions- here but till then am stuck with the nvidia. I will be using a samsung 206bw at 1680/1050.
Have you considered getting a Pentium G3258 + h81 board and ram? You could play on the igpu for a while and get a proper gpu when money allows. In the long run this would provide a better playing experience.
Thanks for the answer. Getting a G3258 crossed my mind. i see people suggesting it on many budget builds but the price has gone from 60 euro at launch to almost 80 at this point plus a decent motherboard so i could clock it a bit and bam blow my budget. in any case could you suggest a decent budget motherboard for the G3258?
