I built this PC for my son who plays games on Steam. Now is complains that he can't play most games on Steam and some require AMD chips. What would be the most cost effective thing to do to improve his computer? Upgrade CPU or video card?


CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: Radeon R7 260 Double D Edition 2GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black/Silver

Ask him to show you exactly what's wrong, and get screenshots of this game claiming to require an AMD processor.

I think he's just wanting a better PC and thinks an AMD FX processor will do it. The most I would do is bump the CPU to an i5.
