This build was around 500 below budget. It will be a dream to game on and it has two of the best mining GPUs out there right now. I included some extra fans for both the case and the CPU heatsink.

pretty good, swapped out the hard drive and the ram though

the wd green drive you had was only 5400 rpm

the ram was 4 sticks, 2 would be better so he can upgrade to 32gb in the future if needed

Oh, I didn't know that it was 5400 rpm, I'm  not familiar with PC Part Picker, and you are right about the ram.

Considering that any reputable motherboard manufacturer now has 1-click overclock utilities bundled in the software packages and you don't even have to even look at the BIOS to overclock, I'm confident my granny could overclock at this point.

 

Tuning an overclock to reach its full potential? Maybe not.

A simple, safe overclock that any chip can reach? Easy peasy.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
