I already understood what the power supply should be like. What should I do? The CPU is decent, but the 300$ price doesn’t justify it right now. I’m upgrading my system with an i7 3770+, 8GB RAM, and a 750GB SSD, plus a new PSU (S12II 520W) and a GTX 670. The CPU uses outdated technology—back then it was only average at best. Since it’s an APU and you’re pairing it with a GPU, you’re missing the main advantage of APUs: built-in graphics. This setup is a poor value, combines incompatible parts, and you’re investing in a very old platform that already struggles with new games since launch.

Can you suggest a 500 dollar pc build in Canadian dollars? You'll need to buy used components to ensure F1 runs properly, which means you might have to choose a used prebuilt or a used GPU.

This appears to be a PC I've been considering. Is it suitable?

but it's still problematic if it can handle battlefield at medium difficulty and maintain over 60 fps.

this is the build i'm assisting someone to sell
it's way beyond your budget too
the bf1 with the fx 4300 running at 60fps is completely misleading
sometimes it might hit over 60fps, but more often it drops to around 40 or below.
