Build For My Dad

[iasianxmofoii]

Hey there everybody,

I frequent on LTT Forum and just have a quick build idea for my dad. My dad recently had heart surgery and is going to be home alone during the day for the next couple months and before going in he saw me playing the new tomb raider game. He was quite interested and wanted to play for himself. Well I like my tower and that is about the only thing i ever do when im home is play on my tower. So i kind of run into an issue there because i'm sure he's going to want to play while im home as well. Plus lugging my tower in and out of my room every day is going to be annoying. So instead i want to throw a quick build together that he can play some games. I don't have too much money i can spend on it. I only want to spend a maximum of $400. I do plan on doing some craigslist shopping as well and maybe some ebay but i will throw a pcpartpicker on what i think would be good enough. Keep in mind, if it is a micro atx board i have a micro atx case laying around. I know AMD is going to be the idea here but if i can stay on intel side that'd be awesome, but i am open to AMD since it's not my actual computer.

 

i5 2400 (used)- $80

1155 Asus motherboard- $60

8GB kingston RAM- $40

750ti (2gb)- $110

600w PSU- $50

Stock Cooler (i might have one laying around)- $10

 

Total:$350

Any other ideas please feel free to drop them below. Like i said i will be doing some craigslist shopping tonight.

Probably. But at lowest settings
