So im buying a homebuilt pc including a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse from a friend for $80. I want to be able to upgrade it to play games, most likely Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike: GO and maybe battlefield 3.
I will also be using photoshop, illustrator, and i will be doing video editing. My budget is $300-$350 (the cheaper the better). So what parts should i get? I don't really care about high settings when i play games.
Specs that i know of:
[strike]Intel Pentium (Don't know model)[/strike] Pentium 4 @ 3.41 ghz
[strike]No graphics card[/strike] geforce 8800 gtx
[strike]4 GB ram[/strike] 3gb ram
[strike]500 GB hardrive[/strike]
Broken CD drive
a blue led fan
[strike]500w psu[/strike] 400w psu
Windows 7 32 bit
(My friends gave me wrong info do gotta edit post)
I don't know the motherboard size, but he said it support up to 16 GB of ram.
Also tell me if its worth 80 bucks
