Help with PC Build:

[valshteinj]

Hey everyone,

Next year I will be attending college, and for my dorm room I wanted to build a school computer. My budget is around $450ish, I'm not looking to play video games, other than the occasional emulator. I've been looking at the Corsair 230T case, and the intel G3258 CPU. Can anyone help with a build? The only requirement I have is to be able to use my 2 HD monitors with it. Thanks for the help guys!

And cheaper + SSD still can handle some less demanding games but no for Witcher 3

Thanks for writing back!

I have roughly 70 more dollars in my budget, what would you suggest with the leftover budget?

 

[DeathRabit]

Buy SSD or take my second build, and you will be have more $ in you wallet

 

[valshteinj]

Do you think it will be able to run word, etc? I also use autocad for 3d modeling.

 

[DeathRabit]

auto cad run fine on both builds and all office programs
