no. just no. save up more money because there is no value what so ever at that price, maybe you can find something used but thats to litle to make a decent PC, not with perifiirals and monitor

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

This really isn't worth it but I tried to go as low as I could. Your friend really needs to save up at least another 200 bucks.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TTm8WZ there red theme, can add more fans. And buy the Microsoftkey of the sub reddit page for 25$

Nice one, but i would upgrade the power supply since i've heard mostly negative things about the cx series. Probably get a silverstone one or one of those from cooler master with 5 year warranties or so

If you have another computer, you can get a license of windows 10 of kinguin for <$30 and then you can put that money you saved towards a better graphics card. If that's what you want, though it might be worth it to save up a bit longer to get something like an R9 380. Also it's worth noting there's a compatibility issue with your case and your motherboard- Case has usb 3 and your motherboard doesn't support it.

This looks pretty solid, though I would say get your windows license somewhere cheap like Kinguin.net and take out the optical drive, then you can afford an SSD if you want.

First will work better for more CPU intensive tasks, second will be more gaming focused. Both good choices.

Invalidated RAM sounds like bullshit. My thought train: DDR4 + Skylake = fine. I need proof :P
