So I've been console and pc gaming for awhile now and with having no interest in the current gen of consoles, i've decided to go strickly pc. With that being said, my current pc i bought in 09' was never meant to be a gaming pc and as such is very underpowered.
Emachines et1331g03w
- Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE
- AMD Athlon 235e cpu
- 6gb ddr2 ram
- 300w psu
My budget will allow me to build a new pc from the ground up for $600 or less. NVIDIA is a must because I plan on running windows 7/8 and linux (AMD drivers are terrible on linux). Also to note, my monitor is only capable of 720p and that is the resolution I play on. I'm not the type to worry about uber settings or anything maxed out, just looking to play games on medium and the occasional high if allowed. Although Konami hasn't announced the req specs I do want this build to able run MGSV: The Phantom Pain, hopefully. The components I can re-use from my old computer are monitor, keyboard, mouse, cd/dvd drive, hdd and ram (though i doubt the mobo that you guys will recommend will support ddr2). Thank you in advance, I could really use some help with this build.
