It's funny the way that quite a lot of the people who answered this probably got their answer from the IQ tests on the internet, Well, I have news for them:
The tests on the internet are fake and give a false result IQ isn't a very good measure of intelligence Sorry guys; I hate to burst your bubble there

I had a similar experience in Maplin the other month, only, it wasn't me, it was another bloke. The shop assistant was trying to sell the guy a 650 Ti for £250 and a case for £120, a basic motherboard for £150 and an i5 for £300. I went over to him and asked why the prices were so high (mentioning the prices were cheaper elsewhere in-front of this customer) He then asked me to leave the store.
I am now banned from Maplin, Cheshire Oaks for a few years. Although it won't matter so much as the prices are extortionate and I think they'll go out of business soon. Happy days.

jk, love it rly

Nice PC and all, but dat Xbone...
 
jk, it's pretty awesome, well done

It's very likely it will support 16GB of RAM.

If it does, here is the kit I'd highly recommend:

If it's got a DVD drive, you can replace it with a 2.5" drive to give you more or faster storage.

X99 can support 128GB of RAM.
 
So something like a 5820k and a mid-high end X99 board, that will do.
 
However, good luck finding a 128GB RAM kit. 64GB is the current maximum due to the amount of ram we can actually fit on a chip.

Your ping is admirably low anyway so the issue with ping isn't at your end, it's at the server end.
 
So you probably wouldn't benefit from a new router.

Nah, allow him to get a PS4.
For some people, PC is better, but for people who have friends around and sit with a beer on the couch, for people that want to play online with their friend(s) (who most likely have a PS4), I'd go PS4.

This is what happens when I get bored and play around in MS paint
 
 

ITT OP has math homework and needs help.

That's what I was thinking at first.
 
He might enjoy the console experience more than the PC

Also, those korean Apple reject ones are pretty good.

It's just like that example someone gave about one wanting a full bathroom for $200 or whatever. They feel like their hard earned $200 can go really far because it's their $200. Now, I live about 15 miles from a place called Birkenhead. Birkenhead is probably one of the poorest areas in the UK, but I still get people asking me whether I can build a system for £50, £100 etc that's good for gaming. I say to them simply to look on eBay and see what's going. They want new parts, but realise it's futile and that it's out of their price range. It is a sense of entitlement, it's understandable that they would feel that way though. It's just like with used and new cars, they're that much cheaper and not much worse that it actually makes sense to buy one. My dad sometimes buys new cars, it's fine. However, if someone goes up to the dealership expecting a new car for the price of used, they're laughable.

You mean the nuclear boobies? (Drive past them alot)

lol its so big it blocks my nes pc behind it
 

Linus complained about the surface pro 3... In the real world, most of his complaints are invalid. Same with the Nexus 6, his opinion is great and all, but sometimes he's full of shit.

It's not about that, it's mostly people on 64-bit systems who use programs that don't work on 64-bit, just ask like every UK hospital ever.
Programs like IBM PCIS are still in use today, it doesn't work on 64-bit, so they have to use 32-bit windows. There are other programmes too which are 32-bit only, and it costs tens of millions of pounds to upgrade the infrastructure behind that programme; if you were a business, you too would want 32-bit Windows 10.

For  just $200 though, there are used computers. Someone has to buy them...
 
I'm sorry, but you can't always have new stuff, used stuff is usually just as good. The sense of entitlement that some people have that they deserve new parts is really strong. There are always better options.
