Build for brother.

[acidydragon]

Hello all!

I'm planning a build for my brother!

He plays games... Most currently noted LoL.

He plays other games too... Just suspect general games.

 

He needs a monitor, and a keyboard. (1080p, 24inches or larger, IPS, yep.)

 

He told me "give me an idea of a budget." so I put together the list (below). try to aim for under 2,000 dollars. Again, cheaper is better.

The Motherboard and CPU are already owned, and are,

Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0

and AMD FX 8320.

 

And the list

Any AMD CPU will struggle in games like LOL, where single core performance is key.

LoL isn't the only game he plays (also it's not that intense, our internet will bottleneck the game), it's just one he enjoys right now.

Dell had the U2414H on sale for $269 on their site, I'd go with that. IPS ftw.
