PC Build Help

[Actuosity]

Hello guys, My girlfriend is currently looking into getting into PC gaming, She would just be doing 1080p gaming, however I am on a small budget for her PC as we are moving and have a lot of expenses at the moment, I am personally not use to building a budget PC and would like to know if anyone in the community has any recommendations for builds.

 

I am look to get the best performance for 700$

already have the peripherals,

 

 

So if anyone has any build idea's or old functioning parts they'd sell at a reasonable price / donate my girlfriend would be very thankful.

I reccomend this build, not only because you have an upgrade path, but because it's pretty awesome in terms of performance per dollar.

 

 

When you have more money, maybe 160-240 you can upgrade to an i5 4690k, without upgrading anything else.

I prefer the pentium because of the upgrade line, whereas the 6300 only goes to an 8350, which isn't bad, but isn't amazing.

You shouldn't need to upgrade a 6300 anytime soon, buy the time you can upgrade then you might as well get the latest thing on the market in 3 years
