Yea you have quite the bottleneck there mate. Mx230 is not a good gpu, but your i7 is a good cpu. Try to upgrade it to a gtx 1650.

60~80 Pkr Pc setup intel built

motherboard h310m 12k
or b365m 13k
ram 8gb ddr4 2666mhz 8k
psu 550 watt always get 80 plus will cost 10k
case get any under 9k
get ssd for boot and hhd for games


gpu options
new are expensive even 1650 new cost 75k
used will be 45~60k
so get rx580 4gb or 1060 3gb will cost 36k

There's no point getting last-last-gen craps when GPU are crashing right now.

The minimum GPU you should get is a 3060ti or 3070.

not here in Pakistan since his budget is close to 400$, i wont recommend going new gen just yet if his only use is multiplayer games and not AAA.

That's sad, man, I fear buying 1650 or RX 580 mean you waste money since you will have upgrade again soon.

As soon as you play a hi-graphics AAA single player game, you won't go back to MP.

It's a laptop can't upgrade.

I had a RX 480 in my previous PC it was great.
Warzone,Apex and War thunder were beasts on it.

I'm not hopeful.

Where are the cheap 3000s, I will only believe it when I see it.

Yeah, Pakistan is under natural disaster and inflation is up the root so maybe the situation is different.

yeah considering the dollar rate I think 3050s and 3060s are actually selling at reasonable prices, but I'm talking about the used mining cards hitting the market.

How is the AMD prices over there? Is it more expensive than Nvidia?
