So my main desktop is located in my bedroom, as its a gaming PC. My only other machine right now is my aging HP 8730W which is old and out of date. Plus it gets pretty toasty being all on all day. I have an extra SSD, z67 mobo, PSU, and a GTX 670 FTW sitting around. I found an I3-3220 for very cheap and am thinking about building a lightweight machine to use in my office space, but something with a bit more juice than my trusty old laptop. Now the GTX 670 is currently setup for water cooling, so I may wait to install it, or I might put the HS/F back on. If not Ill be using the iGPU until I get around to upgrading.
I figure RAM + CPU + CASE ~$100max
For general purpose use, some game compiling, working in multiple IDEs, and having a bunch of web tabs open, plus moderate gaming at 1200P or steamlink how well do you think this will do?
Alternately I can get a steam link for about $40 and just move my PC out to the office and still be able to game in my room.
