yes im aware but 600 usd is 752 CA

 

i did my homework there 

All of those use old FX CPUs. Some even use a 4300. Don't have your friend buy that if he is actually your friend.

once again prebuilt pc fail in the cpu 

 

why must they go cheap there? upgrading is an option though 

 

LMFAO.. Pentium g4560 is equivalent to an i3-7100.. and 1/2 the price. It's a HT dual core (2c, 4t)

It's considered the best bargain gaming cpu from Intel, and even the market (since majority of YT's did Ryzen 3 vs I3).

Maybe look into the processor instead of saying it's bad, and not doing research.

And it's a budget build, so the manufacturer didn't cheap out. They chose smartly, since i3's are double the price and only give you bragging rights.

i would highly recommend he learn how to build it himself, it's not that hard. look at a youtube video before(or hell, during assembly), and follow the steps.
