RAM: some value 2x 2GB 1333 MHz (spare part)

GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 (spare part)

You are a nice person! If you want to top it off, you should make it really quiet with SpeedFan cause he probably wont run it over 10% usage anyways  :P

7850 is overkill

if it was laying around, might as well

 

after mining dump they don't go for more than like 80~100$

Error: 410

 I know, but sadly I don't have a drawer full of spare GPUs :D The whole build was based around what I have laying around.

How does the CPU do under load? Was thinking about getting my mom one of these.

 Well if it serves the same purpose as my build, look no further. I played with the system, both with and without the GPU connected, and for browsing, watching movies/youtube, playing Solitaire etc. it runs perfectly smooth. It never ran above 21°C (25°c for the whole system) and at idle goes as low as 12-13°C. Also the only thing I can ever hear from the PC is the HDD, for my surprise, the tiny fan on the cooler is extremely quiet for 1200+ RPM speed according to HWMonitor.
