Author Topic: Need recommendations for brother's computer.  (Read 530 times)

So I'm feeling gracious this holiday. I've decided to replace my brothers obsolete Ps3 for a custom computer. I have some of the essential parts already from my old computer but i don't think they'll work for what he's wanting to play. I set him up with a steam account and $200.

I've got about $500 to work with. I was thinking i use the HD and SDD from my older build. Here is what i was planning to get him.

*Nvidia Geforce 730.              ]
*AMD 4300 3.9ghz processor.]-For the price it doesn't seem that bad of a medium rig. He doesn't play the most demanding games.
*4GB Vram.                           ]

I have the motherboard already, somewhat old asus. What do you guys recommend for $500?
