Hi everyone. I was wondering whats the cheapest build for my sister. She plays MMOs only, and does no video rendering/streaming. I want to try to get her A PC built seeing as she recently got her hours cut, and was saving up for a gaming PC. I have an OS, and don't need a monitor either. Maybe a headset seeing as she only uses a headset for everything.

 

Thanks for reading.

So keyboard, mouse, headset, and then the pc parts? What is the budget though?

Sorry. I'm hoping between $500-600 maybe a PC that's upgrade ready for her as well.

I got this build for a little over $700: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/d4jDVn. Sorry I am not too good at making $650 or less builds :/

 my friend.

I updated the GPU in my post. You can take it if you want, 20$ more for like 5-10 FPS more.
