    Sounds like you're looking for that game with all the Kerbals. I haven't played it myself but it should fulfill your requirements.

    Maybe SpaceChem, if she's not averse to something that reminds her of her regular work. It's not expensive to test, since the game is on sale for 0.99€ right now.
     
    Or if she's into history at all, maybe some of the Paradox grand strategy games. They're certainly cerebral, though they're not puzzle-based at all.

    BCLK simply means(Unless I'm wrong) "Base clock"  now me, not owning one, can't tell you the exact steps to OC'ing one but last I checked either ASUS has a guide or an ASUS fan made a guide, I forget.  BCLK was tied to the PCI(or PCI-E slot I forget) in Haswell, Sandy, Ivy etc.  Though because neither were independent, for safety measures on the PCI slot(once again correct me if I'm wrong)  they both had a 100 Mhz BCLK and the CPU only had a 42 multiplier.  100 * 42 = 4200 MHz or 4.2 GHz this could be considered an OC but Intel calls it "Turboing."  Though I think since the reference clock or something is at 100 MHz you can push the BCLK as much as you want without the worry of damaging other components. I believe you just keep changing the multiplier where you'd usually find the turbo(once again I don't own one so I can't tell you exactly how)
     
    EDIT: Found the link, it's on ASUS here you go

    Queen Elizabeth II got a reaction from FurryZx in Which is the cheapest GPU you can recommend?   
    Anything less than 4-way GTX Titan X's is terrible. Save for ten years.

    Specifically one would like to play videogames on it. I am greatly anticipating blowing those dirty peasants out of the cosmos on Star Citizen when that game arrives. But in the meantime I'd like to run any AAA game at 1440p at 60fps. Less or more depending on the game, etc.

    Dear loyal subjects,
     
    One has around 1,220 pounds sterling to build a new PC, however one would like to check with those skilled in the knowledge of PC building if this list of components is acceptable. One would also like to hear any suggestions in terms of price to performance.
     
    The components are as follows;
     
    Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Mid Tower case - Black CPU: Intel Quad Core i7 4790k Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 GPU: MSI R9 390X 8GB Power Supply: Corsair RMx 750watt, GOLD, Fully modular SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB OS: Windows 10 Home  
    One already has adequate peripherals, and we have previously bought Corsair Pro Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3 RAM so RAM isn't necessary in this purchase.
     
    Thank you kindly for your time and help.

    Your majesty, I suggest the R9 390 as an AMD competitor or GTX 980/980Ti

    Then an R9 390 is all you'll need at this point and if you want, you can go GTX and take advantage of the G Syncery that is, G Sync.

    Read the outpour of hate for MSX, it also has absolutely pitiful audio compatibility.  No, the Fury can't beat the 980 non Ti, it's on par with it.  The 390 is worth it, and if they have the budget they can jump to the 980.  Also, why are you swearing in front of thine majesty?  How dare thee spew soiled hate into the virgin ears of our majesty!  Also, the number of people who like MSX shrinks each day.

    Best post on LTT Forums...ever
     
    Get an R9 390 or GTX 980 non Ti because that X isn't worth it
     
    The PSU is okay but it's an RMx so not amazing, try a Cooler Master Gold pro 800w instead
     
    Windows 10 sucks, get 7 or 8.1 if you can but it should be stable enough if the install is fresh
     
    You don't need a 4790k on a z97, get a Z170 board and an i5 6500 skylake CPU because you can OC non K sku SKYLAKE CPU's with Z170 boards via the BCLK.
     
    The case is fine
     
    Storage is okay, I'd go with a 120 GB SSD for games and 1TB to 2TB HDD's for regular storage

    The parts that you chose are good and should last another 100 or so years.
