Posted December 27, 2016 So I made a part list for a friend who was looking to play only a few games on a $500 budget (including kb+m and monitor). He played a game once on my pc and immediately wanted to switch from his laggy Xbox. So, how's this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HQKpD8 Notes: -no ssd should be here for this price -yes, he needs all the peripherals, no matter how horrible they are Core i5 4690k @ 3.8 GHz | Hyperx Fury 8gb ddr3 1600mhz | GIGABYTE Z97-MX Gaming-5 | Cooler Master Hyper T4 | XFX R9 390 8gb | Corsair CX750M | NZXT H440 Black & Blue | Samsung 850 EVO 240gb | WD BLUE 1TB | ASUS VG248QE 144hz & ASUS VX238H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 27, 2016 Also consider getting a larger HDD, shouldn't be too expensive and 500 GB is quite small after you install a few games.

CPU, RAM, GPU and storage can all be upgraded, and the Core 1000 is a very easy case to work in. The PSU isn't the best on the market, but I've got two of them going in low-intensity builds with no complaints. This would use less than half of the rated power of that EVGA PSU. Even managed to squeeze in a better monitor and a better mouse/keyboard combo. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

You do not need a Z97 motherboard to overclock a G3258. As long as the BIOS supports overclocking--and virtually all Haswell boards do--you can overclock a G3258 on anything. That said, I think the advantages of DDR4 and future upgradeability outweigh the ability to overclock a dual-core CPU that some games are starting to reject anyway.
