Budget- $400 ( I went a smidge over ) Location - USA

Aim- So my cousin wanted a laptop for $400 and I convinced him to let me build him a PC since it would get him more performance. The most this rig will play is 1080p, ( he's a console player he won't notice if it's at 30fps eather) Games like The Sims 4, Farming Sim 15, SpinTires, games like that.

Peripheals- No monitor is needed but I picked out a keyboard/mouse bundle for $30 to go with the theme ish.

Why Are You Upgrading?- Not really an upgrade but one he wants me to come over to my grandpas house in the summer more because I'm not gonna move my PC around. He wants to play games on PC like the ones I mentioned before. Plus it would be nice ( Bad thing is this is better then my PC lol, I've got an APU currently). Pretty much it..

Any Help is appreciated, I'm not to good with lower end stuff.

With only 400 you may have to go with an apu again. I don't think it would be worth it to buy a graphics card under $150 USD. Intel's cpu's have some good graphics too so don't count them out either.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

Brings it closer to your budget, with a much better GPU. Can't overclock anyways, so no point of a G3258.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

750Ti runs at games @30fps on high

Yea I just thought he might want to go with something more powerful in the future. If he isn't going to be playing too many demanding games it might be better to just save up then buy something more powerful in the future. But yea the 750Ti is a great card very good price to performance ratio. If I was him I'd get the pentium anniversary addition and then the 750Ti if he can fit it in his budget.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

I like it :) Even without rebates still cheaper. Plus the 270 from my knowledge will run many games at 30fps on hig/ultra some over 60

Yes, it outperforms the 750 Ti (Maybe even up to a 770?) by a large margin.
