So I've been wanting to start my first gaming pc build on a budget, at first I was thinking to buy a used computer like one of those dell optiplex's and upgrade it to a decent gaming pc for around $400 but I feel like I may have found a pretty good deal for a used gaming pc on Craigslist for $300 but need some advice/guidance..
So the ad says this about the specs:
"Specs
AMD Quadcore cpu w/ cooler
Radeon-ASUS HD7770 GPU
8gb corsair DDR3 ram
1TB western digital Hard drive
ASUS mother board"
I asked if he knew the specific cpu and he said he thinks its an AMD A8 4300 and he's not 100% sure it's been awhile. But that name is like 2 different cpus I believe, there is the amd fx 4300 and then there are other amd a8 models but no "4300".
I'm just curious if this is enough information to put $250-300 into as a starting pc and upgrade it a little later on. I mainly want to be able to play games like dayz and rust ect. With at least medium graphic settings. I wouldn't really expect any budget build to run those style of games at high or ultra but he says he paid $900-$1000 for the build about 4 years ago, any thoughts?
