Build Recommendations, Please?

[amgraves08]

Hey everyone!

I'm going to build a computer for my parents and was wondering if I could get some recommendations on components. I want to stay between $500-700.

My dad likes to play video games. He's not a hardcore gamer, but I would like to get him something that would run most games decently.

My mom just surfs the web, reads news articles, watches videos, and does stuff on Microsoft apps, as well as bill pay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The R3 1200 + GTX1050Ti will runs almost any titles at 1080p/High/60fps-avg, with 16GB of DDR4 for some of the more demanding recent release (and upcoming beta).

A Sk hynix SL308 SSD to increase boot/loading speed as well as overall system responsiveness.

The DIY-BG01 can provide all the space for any future components upgrade + ability to have 3xfront intakes for cooling; socket AM4 of the B350 MB is supported through 2020 allowing plenty of future CPU releases as possible upgrade path, and the Corsair CXM 550W will provide enough power for practically any single CPU+GPU config.
