Hello community. Once I posted a thread about my computer and asking if it would run CS:GO or not. If I'm not mistaken, the community answered no (I've got few replies). Although, I gave it a shot and surprisingly I am able to run CS:GO at 1024x768 (I know it's a small resolution but it's better than nothing, I also have a 18"5 monitor) and low graphics for 60 fps in most maps. So here is my computer:
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 @ 2.5 Ghz
RAM: 3GB DDR2 800 MHz
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X OC 2GB GDDR5
At this point, I want to improve my rig in order to run CS:GO at the highest graphics possible (without changing the GPU) and the 1366x768 resolution at constant 60 fps in all maps and situations. Is it possible?
Now I know that the 775 socket that I have is old and therefore I would have to replace it. Should I go for the newest LGA1151 Skylake structure or would the Haswell be ok? I'd aim for a quad-core so the i5 would be the best. As for the RAM, would 8GB at least running at 1600 MHz be ok? (DDR3 or DDR4 2100+ of course)
