So, I'm building pc for a relative. He will use the computer for light weight applications like word and internet browsing. He haves quite small budget (500€) and wants this pc to be futureproof.

 

I was planning this:

-CPU: Intel i3 4170

-MOBO: MSI B85M-E45 (I have heard that msi mobos aren't that good but there is a really good deal on that right now. (normally 80€, now 55€))

-HDD: 1tb seagate barracuda

-RAM: 8gb hyperx fury 1600MHz

-PSU: Seasonic 430w

-Case: BitFenix comrade

-OS: Windows 10 home 64bit

 

Total cost 495€.

 

Any feedback about this build is welcome. And just so you know, here in Finland computer parts are really expencive.

 

btw. I hope you understood something becouse my english is not really good...

Your English is fine. If he doesn´t plan on storing much on his PC, swap the HDD with an SSD. See if you can get a Skylake I3.

Maybe to bump his haswell i3 to a skylake i3? And definitely go with an SSD (it will be worth it for the speed upgrades it brings :D

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

He needs that computer asap and skylake i3s are out of stock in every store here.. Other problem is that lga 1151 mobos are really expensive for some reason
