Good build?

[Aaron2001]

I built a new pc with a $250 budget

 

$150 prebuilt

I5 3570

8gb 1333 Samsung ram

oem mobo

oem case

1tb wd hard drive with windows 10

500 watt antec certified psu

 

$10 refurb dual band ac wifi adapter

 

$90 never overclocked gigabyte 7970

 

Good deal? Or meh?

What could have I done better?

Oh then this will work for you. Where did you get the prebuilt system?

eBay it was an auction too. Do you think the CPU is a big step up from my dads a8-7600 build?

It's kind of a step down but the i5 is a cheaper CPU so that is expected.

Uh. No. The I5 3570 is a good step up above an A8-7600 Edit: A HUGE step up

Hoho. This is a really neat build. Just make sure you cool the 7970 well. Card of that time get real hot(yes nvidia as well).
