I bought the 8150 last year when I didn't know a lot about computers. I saw it was 8 cores and 50% off, and i bought it off Amazon... But it might be good for this build, who knows...

He wants to do G-SYNC, and AFAIK, it only works on NVIDIA.

Are others building the same price pc's as you and what if you couldn't afford to build one? I was just wondering

We chose our own project, like someone can just do a fund raiser or do a clothes drive, I chose to build a PC and they said I could. I wish the school would pay though, lol. Then I'd max this out.
