Cheapest 100 $ Gaming PC Build which could run GTA 5 !?

06:24 , 0 Comments

So here we have possibly the cheapest specification list for a GAMING PC which would certainly be able to play Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) upto 40 frames per second and other famous games as well at depending considerable frames per second. If components are bought used, the cost may not exceed $100, however if new components are bought, price may rise upto $150-$170





So first we have our AMD APU. The Super AMD A8-7600 3.1GHz Quad Core with Radeon R7 Integrated Graphics, so you won't need to buy a Graphics Card, thus saving up some bucks! With 2 x 2 MB L2 Cache and a Max Turbo Frequency of upto 3.8GHz, this APU will let you play games like GTA 5, CS GO, ROCKET LEAGUE and DOTA 2 without any lag. A stock cooler is also accompanied with the processor for maintaining the temperature during the Turbo Mode. Will cost you about $70 new.


The Motherboard we'll be using for this build would be the ASRock FM2A88M PRO3. With Overclockable DDR3 Ram, this motherboard allows dual channeling as well. It has 8 x SATA3, 4 x USB 3.0 (2 Front, 2 Rear), 8 x USB 2.0,1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 and 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. It also allows Dual AMD Graphics in case you later want to upgrade. Graphics Output Options include D-Sub, DVI-D and  HDMI port. Will cost you about $50 new.


As for the RAM, Crucial (or any other good brand) 2 x 2 GB 1600 MHz Ram would work (However we prefer 2 x 4 GB RAM since we're using an APU) and this dual channeling will hence result in a considerable better performance. Both Ram sticks would cost around $20 new.

A Western Digital 250GB 7200rpm HARD DISK would be enough to fulfill your Gaming storage needs. Will cost you around $10 new.

As for the Power Supply Unit (PSU) and Casing, we recommend any simple casing with an attached 500 Watt PSU to keep the cost as low as possible. Will cost around $15 new.

Buying other components such as coolers and peripherals depend on the flexibility of your budget.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
