Is this OK for a very low budget build/upgrade?

gramps1968 · Jul 20, 2014

Looking to replace a few components and I'm on a tight budget...I use my PC to play World of Warcraft. This is what I'm looking into buying....

The case I already have is:

I have a 500w power supply. Would it be OK?

Oh and this is the monitor I have:

Any ideas of what the fps may be with this build?

Thanks!!

You have a nice build.. but again if u r spending almost $140 on ur GPU.. i suggest u get http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr9270x2gbd5tdheoc OR http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270xgaming2g... no need to worry about FPS...

Do you think the motherboard that's included in that combo deal is too cheapo?

also I saw this video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202049&cm_re=100364-_-14-202-049-_-Product

Would it be worth it getting a 4gb video card versus the 2gb card? Or wouldn't it make a noticeable difference in my games?

It won't make a noticeable difference in some games but there are some games that requiere a lot of vram

gramps1968 · Jul 20, 2014

Josese, Would World of Warcraft require extra? Or would there be little or no difference in performance between the 2 and 4gb cards in your opinion?

gramps1968 :

Are u planning to use more than a single monitor? If no, then for a single monitor 2GB is plenty. But again having said that, in BF4 some maps @1440p uses 2.37 VRAM. Again this is assuming ur display is 1080p. By the time every games will be requiring more than 2GB of VRAM, i think these GPU's will br 3/4 generations old. It will be anyway a time for upgrade. Still if you are using something with a higher resolution then by all means, go for the 4GB card!

gramps1968 :

Noticeable differences : None. As even if u go with 2GB card, WoW will hardly use @ max 1.45 of VRAM. May be lesser.. but definitely not more...

gramps1968 · Jul 20, 2014

My monitor is 1080p 23.6"

gramps1968 · Jul 20, 2014

Also, just curious, is there a big difference in the 1600 RAM vs. the 1866 RAM? Would it make a noticeable difference while gaming?

sid_90 · Jul 20, 2014

gramps1968 :

Playing WoW in that monitor, 2GB will be enough.

sid_90 · Jul 20, 2014

gramps1968 :

None that I could find... at least in gaming. I used to have 1600Mhz Gskills... changes them to A-Data 1866Mhz.
