My roommate wants to buy his nephew a cheap desktop so he can play games. He has a 3 year old laptop so a cheap desktop aught to be an upgrade for him.
We already have an R7-250 since my roomate wants to upgrade his graphics card so my goal was to reuse that but I am open to any suggestions.
As to price he said "like $300" but I told him he would simply have to spend more.
Parts i quickly picked out where
AMD FX 6300
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-78LMT-S2P USB3.0
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 Ram
Cooler Master TC-102 Mid ATX case
Seagate Barracuda 750 GB Hard drive refurbished
EVGA 500B 500 Watt power supply
Sound like a solid budget build?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
