Hello! Thank you for your time!

This computer is for my wife's father, who mostly scrolls the internet , uses word programs for business and play's some casino video games

I just wanted to make sure that all this goes together properly, appreciate the help!

(your opinions are also very welcomed! if you see something you would change yourself that might be better)


Rosewill CHALLENGER - Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Intel Core i3-4160 Haswell Dual-Core 3.6GHz LGA 1150 54W

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM

Rosewill Hive-550, Hive Series 550W Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS Bronze Certified


Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600


GIGABYTE GeForce GT 730 GV-N730D3-1GI 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Video Card

ASRock H97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

I can say I'm most unsure about the ' Video Card ' and ' MotherBoard '.

I dont need anything crazy for a video card but i was not sure what was too much or too little.

A casual computer that will stay healthy and smooth for a few years.

Thank you again! :D

For his use IGPU should be enough, if he will need something more powerfull in the future he can just add a gpu like GTX 750/TI or a bit more powerfull cards like GTX 950 or GTX 960

replace the ram kit with 8g kit. I spend little more on the video card look for one with 2g of ram and has two dvi or dvi and hdmi ports. it let her run two monitor from one video card. if it a work pc having two monitor will let her have word open on one screen and email or games on the other :). windows 7 is dead os right now your better off buying 10 and install it clean. if you can add a ssd it speed up the boot and programs.
