Trying to make a new build with extremely limited budget ($300) that can play some old games (up to around 2007/2008), especially Crysis (which should be the most demanding at the time, thus ensuring the capability of the build). Could APU do the job?
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: November 25th (Black Friday)
BUDGET RANGE: $100 After Rebates
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Crysis (the original one) with max setting and 4xMSAA at 720p (1366x768) (above 30fps would be acceptable), other games that came out around 2007/2008
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: New build
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Planning to buy a CPU around the same price as the Graphics Card, hopefully this would eliminate bottle for Crysis and other games
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: no preference
PARTS PREFERENCES: no preference
OVERCLOCKING: Yes
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1366x768
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: APU?
