About to build my friend his desktop, and was wondering if this was a good low end build? He's getting my old 390 as I just upgraded. Any suggestions, and is the PSU enough or should I go for a more expensive one?

I'd go for a CX550M or SF600 instead.

 

That's pretty good, I wouldn't exactly call it low-end with the 390 present, though.

Wasn't really sure what to call, the other parts was about trying to make it as affordable as possible lol. But thanks changed to the CX550M

Are they going to be upgrading in the future or will they be sticking with the CPU for some time? I don't know much about Intel CPUs but I've been told the latest Core i3s are basically overpriced for their performance compared to last generation.

No overclocking just light gaming like csgo and fortnite. Choose this i3 cuz it's a quad core
