    Question $100-$600 Budget Gaming Computer

    Hello everyone!

    I'm thinking of buying or building a new Desktop computer, but I'm not sure on what is amazing.

    I want to be able to run the games below amazingly.
    -Cs:Go *Currently *Currently 20-40 FPS*
    -PAYDAY 2 *Currently 10-12 FPS*
    -Garry's Mod *Currently 30-39 FPS*

    I don't need to be able to run these games at 4k FPS, but around 60 is fine on lowest settings.

    I've been looking at this guide and I'm thinking of going with
    https://austinnotduncan.com/builds/photon/

    Is it a good build? Is there anything I can improve with it? Can I get these parts for cheater elsewhere?



    Thanks in advance!

    Here's a better list that has a r9 270x, you'll probably find those parts cheaper on newegg/ebay and you can probably fit a HDD if you cut down the prices a bit. I recommend you use your current OS though.

    Maybe reinstall windows and download the games so we have a better idea to how much FPS it can run?
