Holiday CPU, Motherboard, and Memory for Family.

[Canto666Hades]

Dear Awesome People,

 

Looking to pick up components for a new PC for my family computer. I already have 2 computers in the house that are gaming capability, but I need another one to replace my mother's old PC. Looking for an affordable i5 CPU and matching Motherboard and 8gb RAM. Definitely nothing extreme, my only focus is staying cheap since I am not going for high quality performance or anything and also trying to have the system capable of plugging in a GTX 970 (I have an extra laying around) if I ever have my sister use AfterEffects or Photoshop on that PC. Please throw suggestions out there of CPU, MOBO, and RAM set up for cheap. I generally shoot for MSI MOBO because I have always used them reliably but am open to anything else.

 

Cheers,

Everyone here is recommending the 4460 or so but if you've never made a purchase on Jet.com you can use promo code 20now to get 20% off of your entire order *up to $50* so you can get the i5 4590 for about $148 which is a better value.
