Hello everyone,
I've had a discussion about this build a while ago, but I would like to have some further advice from someone, since I've had an idea.
My build is this:
PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hhgQgL
Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hhgQgL/by_merchant/
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($59.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 70.0 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler (Purchased For $9.99)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($71.89 @ OutletPC)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (Purchased For $35.00)
Storage: Sandisk SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($48.49 @ B&H)
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case (Purchased For $37.99)
Power Supply: EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($38.49 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $301.84
Now, I do want to add a video card, a cheap one that does not go higher than 30$, for which I was thinking about a new GT 710 or was looking for something used (like 750Ti) for the same price.
My idea was to, instead of picking that Pentium and that motherboard, have a combination of a cheaper motherboard and mount on it a more expensive CPU like an i3 6th or 7th generation (6100 or 7100). This is done considering that my budget is limited to 300/350, nothing more, since this computer is not directly mine, but is for a friend.
The computer will be utilized for web browsing (like social media or usual browsing) and watching some HD movies both locally and online.
I would like to have your opinion on this.
Thank you in advance
