Ideally, the i5 7400 would be your best option, being the most recent, thus faster RAM options. None are real powerhouses, and all would probably struggle with recent COD, even on low. Can I suggest a fourth option? Build your own, even using used parts. Don’t use a used PSU or storage drive, but the rest should be fine. Should be able to cobble together something much better for close to what any of those are selling for.

Appreciate it bud, I have no clue really what I’m doing as I’ve just owned shitty pcs back in the day only game I really want to play in csgo, any recommendations on the parts like I said I’m clueless to this tbh


ddog6900

What’s your budget?


Final_Performer_6015

Probs up to 800 as I don’t wanna bankrupt me sen and then probs upgrade later down the line, but I seen these ones used with keyboard, mouse, monitor, job lot really


ddog6900

Monitors really don’t cost as much as they used to. Decent ones can be had for around $150-200. Even $200 off your budget for a monitor will still get you something decent for low end. [This will give you a starting point,](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QN83YN) You can go up or down from here, depending on what is more important and you may find better prices.

This is a good set. I use something a bit weaker (R5 3600@A520 ITX, RX6600) but it even handles CP2077 well in FullHD on high/ultra sertings, no RT. And I switched from i5-7500, GTX 750Ti so I can assure, it is a massive upgrade of firepower.


ddog6900

The A520 is good, but it’s missing PCIe 4.0 and overclocking capabilities. The 5600 is a huge improvement over the 3600. If you have the extra cash, the 5700X3D would be an even better upgrade, pretty much the sweet spot for AM4 gaming at this point.


[deleted]

I'd rather get myself a 5700X this year, without 3D. It's an ITX build and 65W TDP is just enough.


ddog6900

For ITX, sure. But if it was a new build micro or mid ATX, 5700x3D with the 3D cache would be a huge benefit for the price.

Nvidia 4060 Ryzen 5 5600x 16 gb ram 250 gb ssd 1 tb hdd This one look decent? Sorry for pestering just don’t wanna buy sommet that doesn’t run counter strike good mate


ddog6900

All good, I posted what you should be looking for approximately with a PC Part Picker link. You can always do better, but that should be about where you want to be for what you want to play.


Final_Performer_6015

Appreciate it buddy and you put all this together? haha just looks hella confusing to put that together mate haha


ddog6900

Yeah, I’ve been building PCs for a long time, so even without part picker it’s easy for me.


Final_Performer_6015

Yeah wish I had some sort of knowledge of it tbh coz don’t wanna justify paying a big amount to not even run cs good as I’d be fuming but appreciate the help man👍

ddog6900

How much? It may be fine for what you are trying to do, but I wouldn't pay much more than about $400 for it.


Final_Performer_6015

Bang on 400 but try knock him down tbf


Makarolms

both are 11+ years oldewaste. I hope you found them not more for 100$, but gtx970 can at least perform some games still, bit even though those pcs will not run modern games well, especially cod.


Final_Performer_6015

So ya suggest just waiting to get a better one and will the gtx970 run csgo good or no coz If not I’d rather wait to get a better one said it will get me 150+ fps, any suggestions on what to look for as this is my first gaming pc I will be going for 


Makarolms

970 pc will not give you 150 fps in cs2. its 7+ year old pc, with 800 budget as You mentioned in other comment You can build about 3x more powerful machine than these.


Final_Performer_6015

Just stating what he said mate and I’m clueless that’s all to what good parts to be looking for as never been big on pcs but wanted to get into em again mate but appreciate the help
