Looking for a budget $350 custom gaming build!

krispybacon · Dec 11, 2015

So, I've built up enough money to get a new custom build soon. The problem is, I only have $360. I've looked through multiple part lists, but I don't know what would be good for the games I run. https://gyazo.com/6347ad634d389d4d21abb1d4fe060079 These are the games I have on Steam. I mainly only play CS:GO, but with a new build I might play many more of those games if they run well. My goal is to get at least 720p with 30 FPS. If anyone could help me get up to 1080p with 30 FPS, that'd be nice, but please keep it $360 and below! All help is appreciated!

Either go with the amd 10 7870k with dual channel 2x4gb running at a good mhz. You would use the integrated graphics from that apu . Or you can buy a fx 6300 or g3258 pair it with a r7 370 or gtx 760 . Either one of those options are good

if your older pc not to old you can save some fundage by reusing the hard drives,case,power supply.
if your older pc that your on now not to bad you may be better off with using the funds for a gpu upgrade and ram.

This is the best 350$ PC I could possibly build

This looks great! Are there any benchmark videos you have of this build? I might try it out, thanks!

you might even be able to get away with putting an r7 370 in there.
but, it will be well enough for most games. i have this almost exact set up and have no problems with all games I throw at it.
I just dont have the r7 360 I have a gtx 750
and from what i know the r7 360 is better than my 750

What about some of the latest titles like GTA V or Fallout 4?

I do have GTA V and I play it 60 fps 1080p mix of normal and high settings and thats on a weaker 750 so you should be more than good on that game

for fallout 4 I cannot say as I do not own the game but I imagine you will be good with it too
