I tried, keep in mind you can probably find a much better GPU for the same price if you shop used.

It will not give you more FPS than a Pentium build, but it will give you high FPS and Significantly better framerate stability.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
