AMD A6 7400k and 8 gb ram

[sisha1994]

I want to build cheap pc for my little brother. I want to get amd a6 7400k 3.9 ghz with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics and 8 gb of ram. Will he be able to play games like cs go, minecraft , terraria, dirty bomb, tf2?

And for cpu , I don't want to spent more than 100 dollars. So in this case I should stick to g4560?

G4560 is the current budget king. You can find where to buy it on PCpartpicker. Ideally, you'd have a G4560, an inexpensive B250 motherboard with 4 RAM slots, and a pair of 4GB DDR4 2400 sticks. Use your existing power supply and video card, and put it in a cheap case. Use the included cooler for the CPU.

Perfect. Thank you so much

Agree with @Ecky
Although if you get an H110 mobo (only two RAM slots), I think you may be better off getting a single 8GB stick of RAM, allowing you to add another stick down the road. Ideally RAM should be purchased together as a kit to ensure compatibility, but if you're on a tight budget this isn't always an option.

Will my pc perform worse wit 1 8gb compared to 2 4 gb rams ?

 

[sisha1994]

and B250 i found has only 2 slots for ram

 

[TJ Hooker]

Having two sticks allows them to run in dual channel mode, increasing bandwidth and therefore performance in theory. I don't know how much effect real-world effect it has on gaming though, I don't think it makes a huge difference.

There are some B250 boards that only have two slots, but most should have 4. All H110 boards only have 2 slots though.

Thanks. I will get 1 8 gb ram so I could add another one later if needed. Thank you so much

And I want to ask one more thing. The case I am going to buy has 2 fans that are included and additional 6 fan slots. Should I get 6 cheap fans to occupy empty slots ? Or is it not important ?

Unless you have a high power graphics card, two fans is fine. Even if you do, 4 fans would probably be ok.
