Don't do it at all? I don't see the benefit of pushing out of the balcony if you are CT and if you are T you are probably covered.
//or wait, which balcony are you talking about?
He means balcony, where T can enter A site from appartments. Well, each time I mention and I hear balcony, it's this one.
Yep, 100% he means the balcony at A side and not the alt-mid balcony :p And I agree, visibility into pit and graveyard is horrible and I have almost zero success jumping down there and actually surviving. I've started just pop flashing out of boiler and taking A that way. At least there you have a chance (although you kinda have to guess if there's going to be a CT arch-side or quad/porch-side).

The cpu is a bit old but i see no reason you should'nt get more than 60 fps in high quality with that kind of gpu.
I don't know, CSGO on Source 1 engine is very CPU-bottlenecked. In general, a 750 TI is WAY WAY WAY overpowered for your fairly weak/old CPU. So I would heavily recommend not getting that GPU and I don't think it's going to help with CSGO performance all too much.
EDIT: To clarify: I think you'd benefit from a better CPU much more when it comes to CSGO.

What's your current graphics card?
There isn't one in that PC, it's running onboard.

Alright, then maybe it's not worth trying to make that PC competent for gaming. Thanks.
Oh you're using an onboard GPU currently, so I think you have 2 options right now that make sense to me:
if you're low on cash, do get a GPU for your current PC but pick a cheaper one. Or, if you have some money to spend, upgrade to a better system entirely.
Well I already have a gaming PC, I was just wondering if it was worth it to put a GPU on this old office PC I have laying around to make it able to run CSGO. If I can't just put a cheap GPU on it and run CSGO, I'll just dump the mini-project :p

If you already have a gaming PC then why upgrade to play on another one? ^^
You'd probably be fine with an r7 260X anyway, a bit cheaper depending on the country

I have my gaming PC in the living room and my office PC in my bedroom/office. Roommate sometimes has people over. I basically thought I might put a GPU in the office PC so I could play games there when I feel like being antisocial.

You actually have to prepare quite well the push. Smokes, Molotov in pit (behind the pole), flashes. Without it it's reaaaally hard yes.
You need teamwork or far superior aim. Maps are designed this way, for CTs to have a position of strength to hold.
A molotov behind the pillar can push the CT out to right (open side) of pit, which makes it a much easier shot. Generally speaking my team tends to molotov pit from truckside, and the balcony player peaks to hit him as he runs into the open.
Or you can learn to smoke pit from alt-mid, bypass the pit player completely taking the site, and the apts/balcony T player just holds in apts to hit the pit CT as he tries to defend the site.

As to how to take apartments, the way you check angles is pretty key. Don't just run out: take your time and clear them, and be ready to fire every time you peak.

Why do I always play so much better after an extended (3-4 days minimum) break? It's crazy. Played two games today and dropped 30 bombs in both, second game was against 4 MGEs (Double AKs) as well...
(Of course, Natureboy had to out-do me on both occasions as well hehe)
