700$-ish build

[piratemonkey]

I'm planning a build for a friend. She plays Sims 4 mostly. Besides that, just school stuff. Budget is 700 cad. I was thinking of getting a 1060 used, I don't know if that would be the best tho. And for windows, we don't need to worry about it.

I would highly suggest waiting for a few weeks if you can. new hardware is on the horizon which will lower prices for current gen hardware. used market will also be flooded with hardware so you can easily get good deals.

you can grab a used RX 480/580 instead, performs about the same as the 1060 6gb.
