So, earlier I posted something, got no replies. Hoping I get some feedback now :) .

I have 3 system options. This is a build for my uncle and it will be used for basic computing and online flash games.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/23NzM8    A8 7600 (OR A8 7650K)-----AMD

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/xBh7hq     I3 6100----------Upgrade Path

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZbTM8K   Pentium g3258-----Ehhh

 

I need a motherboard for the Pentium option, if this option is the good one I will want to overclock it (3.6 ish)

 

Thanks for the feedback.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

What are these computers for? Are you going to upgrade in the future? What is the budget and what do you have already? 

No, I'm going to build only one of them. Might. $300.

There is that bit of info VVVVV

I would have liked to build a SFF PC, but I already have the case and buying a new one is more money spent.

Yeah the i3 build will be the best if anything because it will install programs faster. Hyperthreading is good for multitasking.

 

Oh and I know of another Portlandaise here in LTT :)

Fellower Portlander here! Also I used to own that PSU and it's terrible, don't buy it.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

I honestly thought the Basiq BP were fine for low budget office task stuff, they're Tier 5 in the list.


And the cheapest Seasonic is $38 because SuperBiiz doesn't show shpping costs

 

Edit: I guess I'll recommend the EVGA 430W in its stead

The BP550 is alright, not the other versions. The VP450 is not a bad option for OP if they want a cheap Antec

Hmm. I heard you say LEPA makes decent PSUs, how about this one?

Higher end LEPAs are decent, not lower end ones. Even Seasonic has low-end units, they just perform poorly electrically and are still built well.

Gotcha. I think, for sub $40, I'll be recommending VP450s or if someone literally can only spend $200 on a computer, EVGA 430Ws
