New Processor /GPU or a CPU

[Kiricocom]

LOT X5 INTEL PENTIUM DUAL CORE E2200 2.20GHZ/1M/800 PROCESSOR (SLA8X) LGA775 CPU

I want a new GPU since the one I have (Celeron(R)Dual-core CPU T3100 @1.90GHz 1.90GHz) sucks -.-! What do you guys say shall i get it? is it good for gaming? such games like : Minecraft/SAMP/CS/Dota and other games? Also if its not that good can you guys suggest other ones since i srsly want a good GPU

[taha]

you mean cpu right ? gpu stands for graphics processing unit so it refers your graphics card
I advise you to get an intel i5-2500K , really worth its price , don't be fooled by i7 and such because they are not really worth it

either GPU or CPU any one which is good for gaming

You want a good CPU? Get a new motherboard, obviously your motherboard supports old CPUs(socket 775), there are still some good old CPUs but they're pretty expensive, you can buy a high end(new if you're lucky) motherboard and CPU for around 150 euros, or you can get a good old CPU for you at around 80+ euros.

Note: CPU is your processor, GPU is your graphics card, both are important for gaming.

I want something that's not that expensive and not that cheep like $50 to $150/$300.

i mean GPU

I'm quite confused , you meant GPU , but you mentioned the current CPU you have ( Celeron Dual Core ) ! Unless you want an integrated gpu such as Intel which I doubt lol

I want a new GPU since the one I have (Celeron(R)Dual-core CPU T3100 @1.90GHz 1.90GHz) sucks

anyway ...
For a graphics card , it quite depends on your budget , I say if you are on low budget , get something like a Radeon R7 265 Dual-X , even though I don't appreciate Radeons
Mid Budget , get yourself a GTX 670/770 , will run all the recent games !
and if you want really something fancy , hold on for the GTX 970 6/8GB Vram version

and as for CPU ( processor ) get something like i5 2500K like I said earlier ...

these all have opengl with them right?

[taha]

lol opengl xDDD
opengl is quite old mate
but ya sure , although directx is what most games require now , all of these cards have like directx 11

He cannot get a decent CPU as he has an old mobo(socket 775).

So to make things clear Kiricocom, you have 2 choices as far as I know, 1)Buy a couple of good-old parts(1 CPU and 1 Graphics Card) for about 120-180 euros(CPU for about 60-70 and GPU for about 70) but sooner or later you will need to replace them if you wanna keep playing good games or 2)Buy new parts(mobo, CPU, GPU and ram) for about 200-250 euros and keep it like this for at least a couple of years.

There's no option "pay 50$ and get a great pc". I would personally suggest building a new pc, I built a pc that can play the latest games and will be fine for me for 2-3 years for about 250 euros.

There's also a third option for simple games like CS 1.6 and SAMP that you mentioned by buying a simple dual core CPU and a GPU for let's say 100 euros, maybe less.

I didn't read any replies up there , but I will tell you what to do.
You need a good GPU and CPU for gaming , bottlenecking must not be there.
Bottleneck example : GTX 780 with a Dual Core , the CPU work will be handed off to the GPU and it's most probably not designed to do that which will lead to very low fps , with the example above you will not be able to reach playable FPS on BF4 cause of bottlenecking.
Your CPU seems quite old and is not that good , which leads to one thing. Your motherboard might also be old and if it does not have proper sockets and for GPU PCI it will not working , you will also need a good powersupply.
My advice would be to build a whole new PC , I can tell you some great specs which can handle BF4 on high settings with 60+ FPS.
The specs in total will cost around 440 Pounds , maybe lower or higher depending on where you buy it from , if you wanna know these specs PM me.

Ah I thought at first he wanted to get a new computer
Kiri , I highly advise to build your own computer , it may seem a scary though , but just get someone to help you and there are lotsa videos to help ! If you buy now some crooked up old cpu , it will not be able to handle recent stuff
and besides building your own machine is really money efficient and will help you get more experience !

This is what ive come up with, ill get a motherboard ($500-$200) and a GTX 720 with a dual core, Thanks guys!

[BuddyTrollsten]

such games like : Minecraft/SAMP/CS/Dota and other games? Also if its not that good can you guys suggest other ones since i srsly want a good GPU

If you will only play those games , then :
MOBO : Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard ( This MOBO for AMD FX 6000 Series , It can run all new GPU , it has crossfire option as well so you can have 2 GPU's or a GPU which has crossfire)
PSU : 500W+ ( recommended , incase you need to upgrade)
CPU : Intel I3 Processor or AMD FX 6000 series
GPU : AMD Sapphire HD7750 / 7770
RAM : 4GB DDR3 800MHz (minimum)
HDD : 320GB-1000GB (recommended between 500-1000 @7200RPM for max performance)


The MOBO : 70 Pounds
The Processor , Im not sure about the I3's price but the AMD FX 6300 will cost you 70 Pounds.
The GPU will cost you 70 Pounds.
The price for the RAM will be different according to what brand and MHZ you buy.
HDD : According to size , speed and RPM.
PSU : EVGA 500W 80 Plus Power Supply 30 Pounds.

Good Luck.

I have q9450 and gtx560 ti..

Try to found quad core and most of them not expensive..

Example I have cs go stable fps 175 and and in top situation over 300-400fps..but without gpu I would die in smoke
