Please help? suggestion.
you are not going to get anythign you will be happy with for 500-700$.
almost half that will be the cpu/gpu (150 for CPU and 250 for GPU for cheap ones) and another 3rd will be the monitor (you need a fast monitor 1 to 2ms response around 200$ for a really cheap one)..
that doesnt leave you with anything else you need.. case, ram, motherboard, hard drive, power supply, keyboard, mouse..
Decent gaming computer will cost you at least 1500$
PS, the min requirements are not for optimum quality, you need a computer that is well above those.
Below is my 2012 system. I average above 30 FPS in Dragon Age Inquisition. It can go much higher if I turn off eye-candy.
It will not get the highest numbers on PCMark, AIDA64, Cinebench or Passmark.
I am able to play whatever game I install on the computer.
Below are current, January 2015, prices.
CPU: AMD APU A10-5800k - $100
GPU: (integrated in APU 7660d)
RAM: DDR3 1866 - $70
Motherboard : I have the MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 best deal now is F2A88XM-D3H mATX FM2+ A88X - $65
Heatsink : Evo 212 - $25
Case with 350W Power supply : - $40
Mouse, keyboard, Xbox 360 controller - 15$+$35
HDD : I took my old laptop's HDD. Install a game, play it, delete it .... 250GB is more than enough. )
Overclocking is a pinch. System is quiet and gets the job done.
