Hey guys, just need some opinions, on a tight budget atm, looking for a pc that will play games like Diablo 3, CS GO, and Dota 2 (Nothing really demanding)

Would you guys advise on something like this http://www.evetech.co.za/Computer-s...50-dx11-custom-built-budget-gaming-pc-43.aspx, and then I could just add another 4gb ram later, and maybe upgrade the cpu a year or so down the line, or will this cpu be lacking to much?

If you do the i3 upgrade it'll be perfect.

Oh and also, with this build you can choose either of these GPU's, which would you go for GTX 650 2GB or GTX 750 1GB

By just checking it over quickly... I just get the feeling you can get more bang for your buck by doing it yourself instead of buying that one being built to order.

Yep I feel the price of all the components are a bit overpriced. It's much cheaper if you build it yourself.

With the gtx 750 and a decent i3 you can play most next gen games maxed out.

Then maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I put together a similar build with an i3 on wootware.co.za it works out just over 7k

I take it you don't need a monitor, keyboard, audio device (speakers or headset), operating system or a mouse as you have these already?
