I would change than AMD processor to Intel. AMD lacks some at these days. Get 8gb ram and most important is graphics card. Not sure about that integrated but i think you arent going very far with that. You get much better gpu with just 60€ but i would recommend using around 200€+ for it. Hope you'll get your PC sorted :) its efficient to do some research of those PC parts, they might have huge diffrences in prices

I'd do some research about AMD Before letting other's sway your opinion about it, AMD Is great for Gaming, the only reason you'd need to switch to intel, is if you want the latest and greatest FPS in games, and I mean the best of the best.

AMD Offers Awesome Gaming for Affordability, I'd ignore what "Lakes" Mentioned because your APU Will game just fine, do yourself a favor though... Check out Can I Run It , and see what games your computer can run though..

Also if you have a set budget, I could make you an awesome build!

Side Note - What resolution do you plan to run these games? At 1080P Medium to High settings with an APU and 4GB of ram, that's strictly speaking a dead no sorry. Now 1080P Medium to High on 2133Mhz or greater speed Ram(8GB or more, more is better.) And your starting to look great! But i'd check out the A10 7870k if you want 1080P Gaming with Decent FPS and Decent Affordability.

Sincerely,

Yeah I did some research now I also hate apu

please just tell me the budget you have to work with and i will build you a machine with a dedicated GPU. the machine you posted earlier only has a dual core processor and while it does have multithreading, a quad core AMD would be much better.

i will pick a GPU with GDDR5 on it, not DDR3

not only that but it looks like a laptop. dont go with a laptop if youre trying to run games. get a laptop if you NEED portability. i cannot stress that enough.

As well as what has been said above you should also check the date on your graphics card drivers... You can do this by hitting the windows key and r at the same time. Type dxdiag and hit OK or enter. If you get a pop up asking if you want to check if your drivers are digitally signed click yes.
Wait for the loading bar to finish and select the graphics tab. The date your drivers were launched will be on the right hand side they really should not be older than 6 month

This will do loads better than the AMD Setup you've posted before, I'd recommend it.

any graphics card will work with an i5.

spending the most on the graphics card will get you the best gaming performance. buying an i5 will cost $200 and eat up most of your budget. i believe you are working in the neighborhood of $500 but please correct me if im wrong.

a cheap quad core amd processor, 8 gigs of cheap RAM, a cheap motherboard, 1TB HDD, PSU and a ~$200-$250 GPU will get you better gaming performance.

Which Is Better Nvidia Gt 730 4gb DDR3 Or Nvidia Gt 730 2gb ddr5?
Price Is almost Same.
The only difference is the Ram Size and Speed, I'd say go with the 2GB of GDDR5 instead of the 4GB DDR3, You'll have a better experience with that instead of the DDR3. Most games play better on newer and faster ram with a smaller size, than older ram with a bigger size. So go with the GT 730 2GB GDDR5.

neither of those

if you dont have a budget to worry about then get a 980 Ti. its the best card on the market. it also costs $650. this is the card you should get if you want the best gaming experience. there are no better cards.

if you cant afford that, then get a GTX 960. stop trying to cheap out on the GPU.
