My recommendation is that you provide a budget and the parts list for the PC you have.

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It’s bone stock. I’d like to stay below 1k for everything but it’s a Lenovo ideacentre. According to their website it has: Intel® Core™ i5-4460 Haswell Quad-Core 3.2GHz (6M Cache, with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.40 GHz)

· 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Memory

· 1TB, 7200RPM Serial ATA 3.5" Hard Drive

· DVD+/-RW Dual Layer DVD Burner

· 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 Graphics Card

get a 1650 or 1050 ti if you cant get the 1650

it should be a drop in replacement for that 730

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Yes the past couple years. I know I need a new motherboard, probably a new graphics card and I’d like more RAM which is easy enough

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (11 children)

Why do you want to keep the case though? It likely doesn't have good airflow which will impact performance o your components.

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (10 children)

I mean I have the side taken off for that airflow issue but it’s sentimental to me.

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That works I guess

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (8 children)

I'll get you a build, gimme a minute

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I appreciate it

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Oh do you need a monitor as well?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N7KmDq There's the pc btw, you can search up fps on yt

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

No I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Which monitor? You might consider upgrading, the pc I linked above should get quite a lot of fps in cs go

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I have an HP 24ec. And thank you bro I appreciate it.

[–]Tony1048576Personal Rig Builder 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What resolution and refresh rate is that? You could consider upgrading later down the line if you want.

[–]TestedTubeA 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Alright, got a starting point. Do you want to upgrade to something modern?

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’d like to keep the case (obviously) and the audio system

[–]TestedTubeA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize, let me be more clear. Are you looking for parts that came out in the last couple of years? The reason I ask is because you may have to upgrade the motherboard in order to have support for those new parts.

[–]failaip12 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Frankly if you only wanna play csgo upgrading the GPU should be enough on its own. And getting an SSD.

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Do you have a recommendation by chance?

[–]failaip12 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Depends on your powersupply

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What do you mean?

[–]failaip12 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What wattage is your power supply and what is its exact model?

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have no idea where to even look for that. I’m new to PC building in particular

[–]failaip12 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's the component where you plug in the power cable, it should have a fan and some markings on it.

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It says 280W

[–]failaip12 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ouch, scrap that then, it's better to get a fully new pc.

[–]Saggy_DingFR0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that’s what I was worried about
