Right in the feels. I have an ancient GPU (AMD 4670 HD) and I'm trying to get a used 7770. And people here are buying i7s like it's nothing...
Just buy a ps4 then
>>51242986
Save up, mate. It took me a full year to get my PC (2500K, 560 Ti).

Once you will get a job it will get easier. Or if you have one, stop wasting money.
I live alone and make £14k a year, yet I save half of my salary each month.

I live in a third world country in Eastern Europe. It's one of the worst countries in whole Europe desu. I am positive and I'm trying to get a job in the capital.

I am originally from eastern europe, but then I moved here when I was 11. I will never come back.
>>51243020
do you still run the 2500K or have you upgraded?
>>51243030
I feel you man. The best achievement in my country is to move out of it...
>>51242986
Same shit bro. My old gts250 crapped itself last year. Been using hd graphics in my celeron g1610 ever since. Can't even launch any games I love (not aaa games) because playing them on low is just disrespectful.
>>51243041
Still with. And still with the 560 Ti too.

>>51243050
When are you thinking about an upgrade? I was running 2500K and 560ti but got forced into upgrade when my mobo died and couldn't source a new one quickly enough.
>>51243064
I thought Poland was doing well recently, benefiting from the oil price jump, no?

No idea, as I said, I moved out 10 years ago. I don't know/care what is happening with this country now.
>>51243072
The 560 Ti... maybe to a new mid-tier 14nm/16nm card next year. I am playing Dota 2 and MGS and WoW, so the jurassic 560 Ti is still perfectly adequate.
The 2500K, I dunno. I am certainly skipping Skylake.

i have rendering needs personally, also, my 955 black kind is the minimum for gameing anymore, it bottlenecks me more than anything else.
im holding our for zen to come out, it will either be fucking amazing, amazing value, or a dud and i go with intel, two of those make cpus on a whole cheaper, one of them is a sad and painful to watch death of a company.
>>51243165
I know that feel bro, but then I bought an ultrahd monitor and in order to get 60hz i had to buy a dedicated gpu
>>51243129
Sigh, I would like to get a better GPU, but the new ones are unreasonably expensive (one third of the price of the whole machine).
>>51243189
Something to max out most games on 1080p (stuff that is not Witcher 3 and Crysis 3) would cost ~USD$300-$350. A 250X (rebranded 7770) is $100, so you can expect ~1/3 of the performance that is needed.
Sorry mate. Life is hard.
>>51243064
Atleast you dent have refugees
>>51242902
I know that feel, my 3 year old laptop struggles to play a youtube video.
>>51243189
I don't know if its within your price range, but gpushack has a 7950 Boost for 139 usd
>>51242986
>tfw I got a 7770 2 years ago
Don't do it, senpai. Save up or buy a used card, just don't do it.
>>51243210
I don't really want to max out. I would be glad if I could play GTA 5 and Witcher 3 on medium at like 30-40 fps. Which GPU would you recommend for that? My CPU is not the best, but I guess it'll do the job and I also have 6 gigs of RAM.
>>51243233
Well, I guess that I can only afford a used 7770... What would you recommend in that price range?
>>51243245
For $70 you xan buy a used 670 or a 7970.
>>51243237
The 280X is about ~$220, double the price of a 250X. You can expect to get pretty good performance on 1080p in most games.
280/285/380/960 are a bit cheaper, and also quite suitable for mid-range 1080p gaming.
Similar situation,
Right now I'm rocking i3-2100 and a GTX 460. Thinking of buying used i5-2500 and R9 285... Is it worth it?
>>51243245
I mean, it's enough for me since I only play osu/Sims 4 and watch anime. But if you want to play some newer games, >>51243254 is the way to go.
I couldn't hit 60 FPS on Witcher 3 with shit settings on 7770.
I really wish nvidia would just make titans. Frankly if you can't afford one there's no reason to use other nvidia cards.

I dont know how old you are my friend, but ive been here. And you know what the worst thing is?
Like I said I was like you and most people posting in this thread. Used to have a 4670 upgraded it with lots of trouble to a gtx 460 but still had the shitty CPU.
2 years later I got a job that pays quite alright (€35k/year). After a few months of saving I was able to buy a mid/high end gaming pc last year. I bought all the parts; Fractal r4, i5 4600k, gtx 770, 850 evo you know the drill OC'd the i5 with arctic cooler and build it all myself
After turning turning it on and installing 8.1 I was haply as a child. I installed some games that were the most demanding back then like crysis 3 and metro. I literally played both games for 5 minutes and then I uninstalled them again. All I do these days is play csgo when i have time to play but I barely ever play demanding games. What im trying to say is, when I finally moved up in life and had the money to buy a pc that could handle nearly everything, I wasnt that gamer that I used to be.
I wrote thid wall of text because I guess this will happen/has happened to most of us.
>>51243347
Fallout 4 is out next week and I'm barely excited for it, and I put about 300 hours into fallout 3. I don't even know if I'm bothered enough to download it let alone play it.

Pretty much. These days I'm happy with simcity 4 and an old ps3 I bought from trademe
>>51243071
Croatia?
>>51242986
I5 2500 and hd 5870.
These days most gains are reduced thermals and energy consumption, with a few extra fps. Nothing major except in the enthusiast tier.
My 5870 still gives me 75-85 fps in battlefield 4 multiplayer with a mix of medium and high settings at 1600x1200.
The difference in high and ultra just doesn't justify dropping the $150 on a used 7950 for me when my 5870 still works just fine.
>>51243716
Close, but no. Serbia actually.
>>51243766
Well, I've looked up the prices and the used 7970s are not cheap. I guess I'll just get a used 7770 or something in that range. All I'm looking for is a decent price to performance ratio.
>have an old pc that is now 5 years old
>2500k, 8gb ram
>7970 crapped itself
>barely managed to buy 280x to replace it with
>have some debts but almost payed them off so I can maybe upgrade it in the future
already looking to compare prices but holy shit, the taxes in europe are insane. I look at newegg and everything there is 20/30% cheaper than in the netherlands.
I feel sorry for you guys in shittier countries because you guys earn less but pay even more than us for computers because of shitty import standards.
>>51243811
7870?
Or 7950.
7950s are something like 50-70 dollars cheaper than the 7970s even though they perform almost the same.
If you're buying amd get gcn at least.7850 or 7870 would be the minimums I'd recommend.
Hd 7790 2gb (260x) if you want to go really cheap, but please nothing less, for your own sake.

>>51243833
The price of i7s ranges from 380-400$ in my country...
>>51243874
And I can get a used hd 7870 for $100.
>>51243874
Anon, you shouldn't settle for less than a 7870 or 7850 if you can. Don't upgrade now if you can't afford it, save up a little longer. One month of waiting won't be too bad, especially if that month is the difference between a 7770 and a 7870 or 7950.
Also heres how cheap a skylake i7 is over here.
>have 4 years old i7-2600K build
>still no reason to upgrade
>>51243926
Thanks. Yeah, those 500$ are not worth the same in all countries. I think there's like 0.01% of the people here that actually own an i7.

Your choice. 36fps, or 69 fps. Price difference should be very little.

This is the truth. Save what you can, and buy using your savings. If you cannot afford the good stuff, then tough luck. Save until you can, or buy the medium stuff.

I'm 2 countries up north. I'll gradually replace each component in my PC in the coming months. I've set myself a budget of 200€ and have 140€ left for the mobo, CPU, RAM and SSD. I can go over budget by whatever I get by selling the old parts. Something like that should be doable for you as well right?

I'm looking to get a used 7850 or something in that range. My CPU is decent and I have 6 GBs of RAM. I don't really need an SSD though. I guess it would be doable.

The money I've spent on this rig over time is literally laughable, and yet I still manage to run whatever I want.
Really comes to show how technology has advanced over the past five years kek
Every time I have money to spend on tech I spend it on other stuff since it's literally never needed on my rig.
So far I had about $5k to spend over the past three years.
None of it has went towards my PC.
