I’m going to put new parts in a old desktop (Dell Inspiron 518) to make a budget build. My budget is under $250 or $200. I want to play games that are kind of graphically demanding (like Fortnite for example). I recently got a new PSU and hard drive for it. I have already decided since this is a buget build I should buy AMD Ryzen 5 2400g so I can skip the GPU and get a new CPU at the same time.
What I have now:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB
GPU: Nvidia GT 610
The motherboard that was built in I don’t know what it’s called
PSU: Green Tech GTPS-650 ATX
HDD: Segate 1 TB
What I want to add or replace
APU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400g
Memory: 4 more GB (total of 8)
Motherboard: Any Am4 socket motherboard that is decent for gaming and under $100
I’m not 100 percent sure of what I need or don’t need as this is my first time doing this sort of thing. If I need or don’t need anything else please tell me ASAP as I am really confused by what I should get.
