I will literally only be using this set up for steam games & Guild Wars 2 only. Maybe a little WoW but I haven't played in ages & don't miss it.

Here is the build:

CPU: AMD Athlon 5350
GPU:
2GB Asus Radeon R7 240
MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-AM1M-S2H
RAM: 4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
HardDrive: 1TB Seagate Barracuda

If you could let me know if this build is bad or not that'd be great. I'm not expecting Ultra graphics settings at 1080p. I expect Medium or High at 720p.

Thank you in advance!

Here is what i would recommend, for what you get its a really good cpu(which is the most important part in mmos) and the gpu should be able to push all games at 1080p(probably mid/high gw2). this build is 70 bucks over budget though but its 70 bucks well spent, this is what i would recommend if you dont want to be dissapointed in your purchase.

Hey h3lloj3llo, thanks for replying! I was just curious as what you'd pick for the CPU since the one you picked is currently out of stock.

I'm sorry, I forgot to say I'm only buying them on NewEgg because I have a previous credit with them that I can use from a return & exchange.
