You're just starting out, so it's good to know how much and which options to look into.

Something similar to this appears to be available. The current model suits your fundamental requirements, but this Corsair offers superior performance and could fit into a more advanced setup later on. I understand it exceeds your expected price range.

I'll begin accumulating funds for it, but am I sure it's worthwhile? Since I won't be planning an upgrade anytime soon.

Only you can decide what matters most and how soon you need a new device. For the older equipment, even the first one suggested would be better. Considering the system's age, I’d choose the cheaper alternative and plan to save for a full upgrade later.

Thank you for the feedback. I believe I'll switch to a gaming PC later, but right now it doesn't make sense since I mainly play older games like GTA 5 and don't really focus on high FPS. Appreciate the understanding.
