    That GPU makes me want to skull-fuck a corpse in shame, but then again the whole rig is only $430, sooo not bad... I personally wouldn't if I could save up more, but if that's all you're gonna be able to get, might as well. Don't expect to run BF3 maxed or BF4 on medium...

    I would say you would be better off with a next-gen console

    What are your current PC specifications? I have a pretty crappy PC and I am saving up money for new parts for it which makes it cheaper.
    At the moment I got:
    CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 645
    GPU: Radeon HD 7750 1GB
    RAM: 4GB DDR3 10600
    Power Supply: 450W
    Monitor: 1280x1024 75Hz

    I'm saving money for:
    CPU: AMD FX-8350
    GPU: Radeon R9 280X 3GB
    RAM: Additional 8GB to make it 12.
    Power Supply: 600W
    Monitor: 1920x1080 120Hz

    And altogether It will cost me around $744. You could always get a bit cheaper graphics card because the one I want is one of the latest AMD and its around $300 which is 3/4 of your whole PC...

    that looks alright except for the fact that i wouldn't mix and match your ram like that. i love to hang around and help out on /r/techsupport and i've seen my fair share of problems with people who have strange ram numbers like 6 and 12gb. i would scratch the ram you have now and just go with a fresh set of kingston 4x2 1600Mhz. if you really wanna keep your current stick then get a duplicate.

    Why shouldn't I mix and match ram like that? I found on Amazon the exact same 4GB stick as the one I have and I wanted to buy two of those to add on to my already existing 4GB. I know getting a fresh set would be better but I wanna use up least amount of money plausible.

    As long as the serial numbers match up you should be fine.
