Need to build CSGO rig

[Backtothefight]

Hi Slowhand,

I have a GTX 570 with an i5 3570k and i usually get the best part of 200 fps.
Although my i5 will o/c to 4.2gh. But i don't know is CS is more cpu or gpu dependant?

It is CPU bound as mentioned near the top of the thread.

The GTX570 is over twice the price of the 7870 and GTX750Ti, so it's probably not the card for Slowhand to get given that budget was one of this requirements!

I wasn't directly recommending a gtx570, just an example of the fps achieved by a specific system.

They seem hard to find new now, in fact about £50 less than i paid 3+ years ago........crazy.

If only it performed as well with ArmA 3 😫

My csgo machine is now up and running at anything between 250 and 300 fps.
