Need Advice $300 budget pc to play GTA V

cmonk · Apr 20, 2015

I want to play GTA V with medium graphics (at 40fps average)

My budget is so tight around $300 to build the new system and I already have 500Gb HDD sata from my old system, so I don't need to buy the new one

Here's my choice so far:
mobo: MSI A68HM-E33
cpu : AMD A10 7850K
ram : Team Xtreem Vulcan 2400mhz 8gb (4gbx2)
psu : FSP Hexa plus 400w
case: VenomRX armada

I have another choice with FX 6300 but it will cost at least $150 gpu to run GTA V with medium settings, and off course out of my budget

Need some advice from you guys, or maybe I need to replace some part with something else to improve performance

I would ditch the the APU. GTA V is CPU intensive I think.

That PSU looks dodgy too.

Lastly, save money by going down to a 1600Mhz RAM DIMM. Corsair or G.Skill are good here.

The FX-6300 is quite a nice one if you don't want to shell out too much.

Bro if you just want a low end pc to play gta v.The best option is
core 2 duo e8600 cpu
8gb ram
gt 610 gpu
450watt psu
1tb hdd
and you can easily run a gta v on mid settings as i can play at this settings on my core 2 duo e8600 pc

cmonk :

Yes then you should go for fx 6300
and a cooler master/cosair 450 watt psu would be good to go
