Dual Graphics build.

Honestly, nVidia is a joke everywhere but the high end.

Hell, the 250 is twice as powerful on it's own.

Don't get a 750ti , i used to have one its okay but radeon cards a much more budget friendly, I replaced mine with an R9 390 for 4K rendering.

>>52254505
If you want an APU then go for dual graphics, if else just buy a 370-370X R9 250X with an Athlon 860K and a decent FM2+ motherboard. The APU build is less upgradeable.

This. They are good if you must have Nvidia, otherwise AMD is much cheaper in the low end

Dual graphics? More like DUAL STUTTER

Despite what you've heard elsewhere, the anniversary Pentium starts to show it's weakness for multithreaded games and applications, as two cores without hyper-threading slogs through newer stuff that doesn't explicitly-refuse to run due to the low core count. There's workarounds to cheese your way past CPU blocks, but it's not really a load-bearing CPU if you have your eye on The Witcher or GTAV

>dual core
heh

I've got a g3258 sitting at 4.4ghz right now in my main machine, (pretty bad chip ik) - can confirm it doesn't perform well at all in multithreaded games / apps, it stutters weirdly when playing cpu-intensive modern games...

If you're genuinely gaming on the cheap for the long-haul, a used i7 950 and 1366 board on eBay continue to go a long way if you're for-sure not wanting to be gimped CPU-wise for games, as despite being an older CPU, the architecture and single-threaded performance continues to kick the shit out of any modern APU or low-end Intel CPU

Also, both those GPU's are crap, 2GB really doesn't cut it like it used to for games, and they're both rebrands of last-gen hardware that wasn't really that great even when it was new. A used R9 280 won't set you back that much, and it continues to be a great mid-range card years after release

Never buy current gen budget parts when decent shit from a few years ago will more than suit your needs in comparison
