Solved Low-end CPU / Mobo combo.

[JustCall]

Hello!

I need a CPU / Motherboard combo under the €95 (thats like $110)
Onboard CPU is fine too.

And it needs to run GTA5 PC on lowest settings

 

[Layback Bear]

I don't believe that can be done.

No Emebedded CPU will run GTA V even in low settings with a playable framerate.

 

[JustCall]

Thanks for your answers.

It doesn't need to be an onboard CPU.
And does the motherboard affect the CPU quality in any way? If it doesn't, it can be a $10 motherboard.

 

[JustCall]

@Layback Bear, that are the recommended specs.

 

[Layback Bear]

I know they are the recommended specs. That is why I posted them.

I know of know way to buy the hardware in the recommended specs for $110.00.

 

[JustCall]

Maybe for $200?

 

[Layback Bear]

Do a little Google shopping and you will find your answer. The CPU alone.

Amazon.com: Intel Core i5-3470 Quad-Core Processor 3.2 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53470: Computers & Accessories

Give us a link to the actual vendors you are likely to buy from.

Here is a list of motherboards that should be compatible with an i5-3470:

What you can see or buy in your country is not my business.

I'm just trying to show you the hardware needed is going to cost a lot more money.

The CPU will cost around $200.00 by itself.

I would suggest you do your own shopping with what ever you can use in the Netherlands.

Have a nice day.

Do I need an i5 or will a overclocked i3 be enough?

 

[Boozad]

Just go AMD, they're cheaper. I sold my i5-4670k on eBay over the weekend for £130 and that's a two year old second hand CPU. You're not going to get a good Intel CPU plus a motherboard for that price range.

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Do I need an i5 or will a overclocked i3 be enough?

As far as I know, none of the i3 models can be overclocked to any extent worth mentioning.

That i5-3470 is not an overclocking processor either.

 

[Boozad]

Get One of these
One of these
and One of these

Probably one of the cheapest combos you can get to do what you want.

@Boozard

Thank you for the info, and what CPU would you suggest? (Cheaper is better )

 

[JustCall]

@ignatzatsonic

I barely know what CPU's are.
Thats why I made this thread. XD

 

[JustCall]

Well, thats a pretty cheap combo.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
I'll mark the thread as solved once I get on my PC.

 

[Boozad]

In your specs it says you have a 240W PSU. Is that correct?

 

[JustCall]

@Boozard

Yes.

I was gonna spend the $200 on a PSU CPU and mobo, but I didnt think it would cost this much
