Build for gf

[Tarzan]

Hello,

 

My girlfriend would like a small computer for her desk at home. I already have the monitor (my old RL2455HM), a stock intel CPU cooler and a 128Go SSD (Sandisk), but that's all.

 

The computer will be used for:

- Light gaming (Mitosis, NFS Most Wanted 2005, or other car games)

- Movies/videos

- Surfing

- Little work

 

Preferably a intel mobo as I'll give her my i5 in a year or two.

And a relatively small case if possible (but not too tiny as I'm not familiar with building tiny tiny compacted stuffs, wouldn't want to break connectors or else).

Budget: max 500€, it can be less!

 

Thanks all .

Budget?

[Ridska]

How much are you willing to spend on the rig ? 

 

Edit : And when you say you want a small case , do you mean a laptop case or a full ATX PC case ?

if its pc then i would sugguest the LIan LI PC-TU 100 or 200 or the 300 series . they are small and they do have a handle on them .

I would go with something like a G3258 and maybe a R7 250x or 260x.

I feel like a A10-7850K would be best for this

@themaniac : why a 1866 speed memory if the motherboard only accepts up to 1600 speed memory? (Just asking if I don't understand it wrongly)

 

So, I think I'll follow your advices and go with that:

 

CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor

Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1600 DDR3 CL10 

Storage: Already have a SSD

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 2GB OC Edition Video Card

Case: Fractal Design Core 1100 MicroATX Mini Tower Case

Power Supply: Seasonic S12II-430W

 

Should be good .
