Recommendation for players who have low end systems

[👑 KING MOSUL 👑]

First, follow the minimal recommendations of the game maker for the processor and graphics card.
 
The Core i3-2100 processor, which works at 3.10 GHz frequencies, features 3 MB of cache and 5 GT / s DMI, and is compatible with the LGA1155 socket. I3 processors are dual core for both laptops and desktops.

Intel Pentium generation

The first Intel Pentium processor was launched in 1993. Over the years following the evolution of Pentium processors, their performance has come close to the performance of the new generation Core 2 processors. The latest Intel Pentium CPUs impress with power and speed, they can have more cores, bringing Core performance closer to the core, and even nowadays it occupies an important place in the "low end" processor high performance).

Intel Celeron and Atom Generation

Celeron and Atom processors are more optimized for low power consumption than for high performance. Most of them are single core, but there are also Dual Core variants, which are clearly superior to Single Core. Celeron and Atom processors have inferior performance compared to Pentium processors, so they're designed for budget-friendly computers and laptops, that's most affordable from a financial point of view.

Xeon processors

These processors came in 1998 with the Pentium II processors and are still being manufactured. Xeon processors are designed for servers and workstations, are the most performing and most core processors.

Intel Core i3 processor - suited for budgeting or office work. Featuring a performance card with an Intel Core i3 processor, you can play computer games.

Intel Core i5 processor - ideal for a powerful computer for work or games. On a computer with such a processor you can play computer games even on maximum settings.

Intel Core i7 processor - for those who know exactly why they need this performance. The computer with this processor will suit, for example, for video editing.

Video card is the most important component of any gaming system that respects. A top-of-the-line performance model will allow you to run smoothly your desired games. If the processor is the "king", then the video card is definitely the queen!

Video card is the most important component of any gaming system that respects. A top-of-the-line performance model will allow you to run smoothly your desired games. If the processor is the "king", then the video card is definitely the queen!

To get the maximum performance you want from the PC system, the video card should be at the same price level as the processor, but preferably even more expensive if the finance allows.

For example, a $ 279 (an i5) processor is enough to drive a computer with a video card and two times more expensive.

The amount of RAM of the video card is not an important indicator of performance in most cases! The processor type is much more important. This aspect is very relevant on the low-end video card, where a 1GB of RAM video will perform the same performance as a 2GB of RAM in the vast majority of cases. You will not be wrong if you take the smaller RAM video card. Why, are you asking? Because the cheap video card GPU will not be able to use the extra amount of memory efficiently.

If you want to upgrade your video card, the basic rule is to jump a generation and the time frame would be about 2 years (if I intend to take a video card of the same performance category). The rule is especially valid for top performance plates. Why do you do this? Because performance performance from one generation to the next is between 10-30%, and does not reap financially, first of all. For example, if you have a Radeon 6950 video card (as is the case with me), you might want to think about an upgrade when the AMD R9 generation comes in, or if you want to change camp, head to the GTX760 / 770 from Nvidia (for a sport - more than 50%). It's like jumping from Iphone 5 to Iphone 5S ... It's not very cost-effective. Instead, if you go to Iphone 6, another life!

Make sure the source is powerful enough to maintain (electrically) the video card! I see repeatedly in the questions asked how the computer source is neglected.
 
But what you need to know is that the source is a basic, very important component that affects the stability of the computer and the life of the components. Not to mention that a more serious video card may require a series of connectors that your old vaporware source certainly does not know. So great attention to upgrade, check what source the video card needs because you may have to put money in a new source. In principle, a good source of 600W (minimum Bronze - 85% efficiency) is sufficient for a quad-core CPU and a stand-alone video card. However, if you want to run SLI or Crossfire, you will need to invest well in a powerful power supply (800W +). I have a source of 600 W and I think it's already 4 years already and it's still going smoothly - I have not broken any PC components.

Nvidia or AMD? The question from the beginning of the ages ... It does not matter very much! Between an Nvidia board or AMD, with identical performance running the same game, you will not see any differences. In such a case, the price is over and you do not mistake if you buy the cheapest one!

When is the best time to buy a video card? When you have money! This is the best time. Nvidia and AMD are launching new products at 12-18 months and prices and availability vary consistently. As an exception, if you were going to buy a model from the old generation, when the next generation was released, it would be advisable to wait a little, about a month. And that's because the prices will drop for the old generation, because there is no more production and will try to exhaust the existing stocks! In other cases, there is little point in expecting a potential price drop as prices may fluctuate upwards! That's why, below, I've recommended some good models that will be a good choice if you find them in the price range mentioned.

The video card is considered competent when playing your games at MINIM 30FPS (images per second). There are some more pretentious who want 60FPS. If we talk about FPS, they are right, because on the multiplayer side the reactions are very important and they are determined by the fluidity of the image! Not often, pro-players play FPS with minimal details at once, to minimize the number of distractions on the screen and then to increase the number of frames. For single player though, 30 FPS are ok. If your video card is no longer able to play games over 30 FPS, it's clear. It's time to organize your retirement and look for a new one.

Fortunately, the Internet is an inexhaustible resource and many hardware sites both from outside (Tom's Hardware, Anandtech) and from us (Lab501) test a wide variety of video card models and give their opinions more informed. Tom's Hardware Acquisition Guide, and I've also helped with Anandtech's video card comparison. Of course, all these adapted to the specific local market and local prices.

You need to be very careful about how to select the recommendations to choose the best option at the best price. Graphic performance, together with price, were the main criteria on which elections are made.

Hard drives. SSD VS HDD

For many users, the difference between SSD and HDD does not matter - as long as your computer goes well and does not need service, it does not need to know in detail how components work. However, for those who want the latest technology in their IT systems, and have the time and curiosity needed, understanding the differences between the two devices is useful. So you can benefit from the benefits offered by each of them and make full use of their life.

SSD (Solid State Drive) and HDD (Hard Disk Drive) are data storage technologies. They are also called non-volatile storage devices. Nonvolatile memories are essential for computing systems because they are used to store data (music, movies, images, documents, or applications, all in the form of files) that remain stored even if the computer system is restarted or shut down. The files can be accessed, modified or deleted at any time.

For more than two decades, HDDs, either on the IDEE or SATA interface, have dominated the storage device market, not having a rival in terms of reliability, price and capacity.
HDDs use the same recording principle as magnetic tapes or tapes, magnetic recording. The data is stored magnetically on rotating discs, with the help of read / write heads

On the other hand, solid-state drives are new players on the storage media market. The SSD is a new market on the market, considered faster than the HDD. Appearing as a device for desktop systems, SSD has also entered the world of laptops initially on the MSATA interface.
Unlike the classic platter HDD, SSDs do not use magnetic recording or electronic components to store data.
Typically such components are used to create Random Access Memory (RAM), volatile memory. It can be said that SSDs are composed of volatile RAM modules converted into non-volatile (permanent) memories.
Current SSDs use different storage technologies: DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) used by computer RAM, or NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM), often referred to as flash memory. Constructively speaking, NAND flash memories are the most used in modern SSDs, as in USB sticks or smartphones.

Common SSDs have a speed of 250 MB / s, the most expensive are up to 550 MB / s or even higher. Copying a Blu-ray quality movie from one SSD to another may take 8-15 seconds.
HDDs are at speeds of 50-120 MB / s, which means transferring a movie to Blu-ray quality in 25-60 seconds. Obviously, the difference is enormous.
When it comes to the operating system's load speed, a system installed on an SSD boots in 10-15 sec, one installed on the HDD in 30-40 sec. In part, the differences are also given by the starting time of the HDD (turning the discs to speed, bringing the heads to the position, etc.).
Why is read / write speed important? This affects the boot speed of the system, the speed of opening and running programs, the speed of working with the virtual memory system.

Finally, I recommend using a free computer maintenance program and driver updates, called Driver Booster 6. Present on Steam steam at the utilities subchapter.

PS
Personal I have a desktop PC from LENOVO, with an Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz (4 CPUs) ~ 2.0GHz. 4G memory. Direct X 11 on a 2G NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 video card. stored on a Hard drive ST3160815AS ATA Device At this level, I play Flashing Lights on low settings on 30 frames and the FPS shown by Steam is between 25 and 30.

Some technical features are included because I do not think research work (as in this post) can be creative. the essence is that many of those who access this game do it if the PC drive or the laptop are compatible. The game itself requires a lot, now at the beginning. I have no claim to an original and I just tried to show what needs to be done to get it.
I would be glad if what I wrote here would have copied and stuck on Wikipedia. Lol!
