I currently have an AMD A4 6300 processor and a radeon hd 8370D. It says that i meet minimum requirements to play Dayz but im not sure if it will really work because i loaded up Warface and it could barely handle that on low everything. Everything has to be FM2 or FM2+. Can you please not tell me to buy something that is 300$ for a single piece because I am on a budget. 150$ is my maximum for a single one but i would highly rather not go that high for one right now. Please Help! I also have 8 gb ram.

You can get a GTX 750 for $100 and it would be WAY more powerful than your 8370 (3250 Passmark score compared to 424), but your PSU needs to be at least 400w and 20 amps.

Take a look at the sticker on the side of your PSU and tell us the brand, model, and what it says under +12v for wattage (W) and amps (A).

If it's like 18 amp or something, no worries, you can get a PSU to easily run a 750 cheap.

It's not a full on solution because you're going to bottleneck that weak CPU with it, but it's a cheaper get me by for now until you can get a decent CPU, which may involve upgrading the MB as well.

No self respecting gamer should be stuck on FM2.
