Well it would be a budget gaming machine.. I don't have timey money

its got a decent 3.7ghz clock, I would have a dual core i3 over a quad core AMD any day.

yeah then either a 8gig rx480 or 6 gig gtx1060 will go nicely with it.

the 1060 will be better for dx9/11/opengl
rx480 better for vulkan/dx12

In reply to a post by time2die:

I dont claim to know a lot about PC gaming but an i3 opposed to a i7 ?

An i7 at retail prices would be the entire budget. However, not sure how well games will run on an i3 - as long as happy with lower res and frame rates then should be usable.

Most games will be ok, but occasional games buck the trend such as gta5 (with high population density set in options) and project cars. However those two games both can be managed by adjusting options.

Thanks, yeah I think that i3 is the right choice. seems very popular in budget gaming builds.

yes my monitor is only 1080p anyway and I am realistic about what it will handle. I am perfectly happy with the standard PS4 but would like to possibly have this as another gaming device not as something necessarily superior.

Ok how much you wanna Borrow

So that's what you do for a living... next thing I know I'll have broken knee caps
