My dad and I made this ultra low budget 320$ PC 3 days ago it had no discrete graphics card and its specs are:

Some Chinese casing (Has very good airflow)
Asus Z97-K Motherboard
Corsair 450W PSU
Intel Pentium G3240 @ 3.1Ghz
4 GB DDR3 Ram.
(No discrete Gpu)

I made this PC planned that it could be upgraded as much as possible but costed less for now. In the following week I will be getting a graphics card in around 250$ Which is the best thing i can get to play the following games on Max settings. (1080p)

Crysis 3
Farcry 3
BioShock Infinite
Titanfall
Assasins creed Unity
Minecraft with extreme shaders
My questions is are

- Is this budget good to meet my requirements as i cant tolerate most games on less the lower settings (idk its just me).
- is the cpu sufficient ? or shoud i upgrade it before getting the card
- Will it be also run some light photoshop and pinacle studio
- will it also be good if i change to a 2 monitor setup (but games will use only 1)

Yeah it would be fine, though if you decided to overclock it you might need a cpu cooler but the one in the box is fine for running at stock.

whoops forgot to mention the RAM, that will definitly hold you back upgrade to 8 as soon as you can.

750 ti would probably give you no bottlenecks though I would actually suggest getting a strong gpu like the one I suggested. It means you can just a better cpu later an not have to worry about changing your gpu.
