In a gaming PC, it's the GPU that matters the most followed by CPU and rest. So upgrade your GPU first and then (when possible) CPU. Antec Basiq Power 430 (BP-430), as name suggest, is not the greatest PSU, but you should be fine with any aforementioned graphics card (don't run stress testing software though). Just make sure you upgrade to a PSU with more wattage before upgrading your processor. Also, you may need to utilize one of bundled molex to PCI-E adapter because it does have enough power on the v12 rail but it comes with only 6-pin PEG connector.

By the way, is there 80 Plus logo printed on it?
Yes 80+ logo is printed on the PSU unit. I will upgrade the GPU then asap. Thanks

Karach!
4gb is enough for almost all games, tho if you can afford it go for 8gb, it helps in loading process of games, meaning they load pretty fast.

how much would an average budget gaming pc cost with middle specs, not too high and not too low.

Rough estimate.

Yes! Thread definitely needs an update, but it'd be like kicking an already dead horse. I think we should make it a simple "suggestion" thread rather than a complete buyer's guide. Just me. Still though, I'm up for any sort of contribution.

The thread is not updated, you're better off making a new thread in PC Helpdesk.

You want to buy complete system for 22k? or just Processor + GPU?

And do share your current system specs.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
