So, my birthday is coming up. I've been given £50 to spend. I have recently read about the requirements for GTA V, and I realise that I need at least a quad core. In my PC build, I was on a tight budget, so I bought a moderate to good GPU, but then I noticed that I didn't have money for a good quad core cpu, so I only bought a dual core. So, should I use that £50 to buy a quad core CPU and wait until I get my own money to get GTA V for the PC, or should I buy GTA V and play it on a lower graphics setting?

Could you give your current system specs? Also, £50 doesn't buy a quad core, need at least £150 for an i5, and at least another £150-£170 for a decent GPU, (GTX 960 when it comes out, or gtx 760)
Yours sincerely,

Nobody wants a game that won't work good.
I suggest you upgrade your CPU.

Save. Then you can buy a decent CPU with a little time. £50 is too little for a good CPU, and way too overpriced for a game. Seeing as it's a re-release, it's highly likely that it'll be on sale soon anyway.

CPU. You've gotta have a quad core if you want to get many good years of gaming from it.
