Is this any good for a cheap gaming build? Monitor, peripherals and ethernet cable are sorted

 

Thanks for your time, 

Sincerely, Arthorian

Cpu might be a tiny bottleneck but it shouldnt affect anything really. Yea overall a solid build, but maybe go for a Boot SSD for boot times and maybe game storage.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks  I think the HDD will do for now, I don't mind waiting. I'll take your suggestions about the CPU and look around.

 

Will the microATX board work in the ATX case?

Looks great! Nice deal on the case!

Just one question: does the CPU come with a cooler?

Yea, it will just be smaller than the case :P.

Fantastic, Good luck with the build. 

What type of monitors are you looking for, and are you planning on a single, or double configuration?

Keyboards and other peripherals are completely subjective, you can easily find a decent membrane $10 keyboard and a $5 dollar mouse, but most likely these won't look cool, or gaming-grade. 

Or, if you really don't care, just go around asking random businesses if they have leftover keyboards or other peripherals. People make livings off of collecting old computers and keyboards and re-selling them.

In all honesty, I would advise 8GB of RAM at the minimum for games.

 

Other than that, pretty reasonable build.

As this is a build for my younger brother, I am giving him my BenQ EW2440l monitor, and I am upgrading to a 144z monitor. We have decided on a £25 keyboard and mouse set that he likes the look of

This. Looks good other than the lack of 8GB of memory.

Cool, yea getting a mouse/keyboard combo will help his setup look more consistent as well.
