Hi all.

My aim for this build was to make:

1) A small gaming pc
2) At least quadcore (for new game coming out)
3) Max 1280x720 graphics
4) USB 3.0
5) Emulate most PS2 and Wii games well.

This is the build I came up with.

Is there anyway you think I could shed off some money but still be able to get what I want?

Any help is appreciated :D

GPU? You're not going to max out games at 720p with on-board graphics. You will also have to overclock your CPU to be able to emulate most games and you'd want an aftermarket CPU cooler for that.

There is no way to get the same components cheaper, you can only drop certain things from the build, drop down the i3 for example or buy a cheaper case

it might do an ok job, honestly I would just buy a PS2 and a Wii off ebay and a stack of games hahaha

 

I know the wii emulators is pretty CPU heavy so it might not run amazingly
