I'd like to premise this with a few things:
I am a high school student who's age falls below that of the generally accepted employment age. In other words, I'm too young for a consistent job. Money is kinda tight for me, though I make the occasional 30 bucks here and there.
Alright, with that out of the way, I've been putting together a budget gaming PC. Mainly for stuff like TF2, and I'm not really aiming for fantastic performance, just better than that of my old laptop.
It's got an AMD FX-6300, 8 gigs of crucial RAM, and the rest of the specs aren't really that important.
Only thing I have left to purchase is a graphics card. Again, money is tight, so please don't tell me to "just get a gtx 970 instead" because that ain't happening.
I've been looking at the MSI Radeon R7 250. It's a very inexpensive card with some rather impressive specs for the price. I'm wondering, if I want to run something like TF2 at med-high settings, with decent fps, will this card cover me, or am I looking in the wrong place?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
