thats not super great but its not bad tbh

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

If he's not into gaming it's pretty good for any office use.

EDIT:
If he is into gaming he should be able to play a lot of games (mostly older) well enough.

This has pretty good upgrade-ability, you could swap out the i3 for a same gen i7 and throw in a new GPU (GTX 1050 ti, RX 570 RX 480 etc.) down the line.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious
