Im about to build a budget system for a friend of mine using some of my old parts. I have a corsair 450 psu and 270x that will definitely be used. They will be playing mainly lower end mmo survival games. Budget is the main thing, but also would prefer to not have a big issue with the CPU throttling the GPU
I have what you would call a mid range gaming system and I'm not so familiar with budget processors or what is better among the lower end.
Going to go with 6-8gb ram, 120-240gb ssd or 120gb ssd + 500gb had (whatever is best price, but def want an ssd). Open to suggestions that require an overclock on the CPU. Prefer the mobo to have pci 3.0, but 2.0 can work if price is right. Not worried about an os. Case needed.
Would like to keep everything else for under 300$. Price is a priority, but would also like to future proof somewhat. Thats why I want an ssd and 6gb+ ram. This is my friends first PC, I know its shocking for someone in their 30s. Want to have some room in case he likes PC gaming that he can upgrade the CPU w/o needing a new mobo.
All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks
*edit* the first response I got was great, but I want to get some ideas on ever lower end possibilities. Something where I might find a CPU / mobo combined for like 80$ or less that could do all of this. Maybe its not possible being that I would like room to upgrade later from same board.
