I'm planning to build my own PC, mainly for games and pretty much everyday use. I'm pretty capable of assembling it myself, and even though i'm not so informed in the area of "how high settings can it handle" I think I more or less know what I want. The main problem here is budget. I want it to cost as little as possible while not being obsolete or outdated; What I mean is that i'm looking for a build I can eventually invest into, and upgrade with ease. I'd call it a rush build; I need a new PC because my only PC at the moment is a Dell Inspiron 1440 (Notebook) that struggles to run Minecraft even on ultra low settings with all framerate/performance mods.
I'd say i'll mostly play games like Minecraft, Dark Souls 1/2 and some other games I might feel like playing. I don't require ultra high settings. I just want things to run well.
I already did my research and already placed together a $300~ build that is meant to just work for now even if at the moment it can't do much gaming. Here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VBQWmG
The main idea being cheap, I picked an APU just so I can leave the GPU for later. I think the APU alone won't work well for games, but if i'm not mistaking later on when I add a proper GPU , that won't be a problem. I picked little RAM just to be in budget, and little storage because that's just for the OS. Later ill upgrade to SSD because I already got a HDD. I'm not going dirt-cheap on the case because I want to keep it for long. not a fan of changing cases. The Disk drive and the RAM may not be the exact ones ill get, that's just the price range.
