Hi, my birthday is coming up and I'm really looking into a first good upgrade for my PC so i can start playing some new PC games. Ive done a good amount of research and I'm stuck right now.
Here's what I want:
AMD Athlon II x4 640 3.0 GHz quad core-$67 (CPU)
ASRock FX Socket AM3 Plus NVIDIA GeForce 7025 A V GbE Micro ATX-$44(MOBO)
Corsair (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory-$53
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer-$22
What I'm stuck at is the GPU upgrade. At the moment I have a GEFORCE 8800 gt 512m GPU. I realize that it can not run directx11 and that most of the current games nowadays require directx11. What I'm looking for is a good upgrade for it at a low cost. I do not want to cross the 250$ line total for my upgrade (Im at $186). I would really appreciate some help here.
Thank you
PS- I might be able to ask for a better GPU from my parents if I get a job (I will be turning 16)
