Hi, Everyone

 

I am going to build a pc for friends of mine but there budget is only 400 Dollars so...

Going to be used for: School, Youtube, Lite lite gaming (minecraft,sims 3)

 

Made two builds which one is the best or something else.

 

Build 1: Intel Celeron G1610, Mushkin 4GB 1333MHz, MSI H61M-P31, Corsair CX430, HD6670, WD Green 500 GB, Antec VSK-3000E

Build 2 (RAM, PSU, HDD, CASE are the same): AMD A8-5600K, MSI FM2-A55m-P33, GPU replaced by APU

 

The MAX really is 400 bucks.

I think he'll be better off with a pre-built computer, especially if it's just for Internet Browsing.

Tear down yours and rebuild it.

I recommend the Intel machine. The stronger graphics will help. And Minecraft is CPU Single Core intensive, meaning that the Intel's stronger cores will mean more than the AMD's higher amount of cores.

Ture, but the Celeron G1610 isn't that powerful. I think the A8 6600K would be a better choice.
