The amd is meh. Unless you need a bunch of cores for cheap it's not really worth it.

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

im looking for a cheap one. i have only a gtx 1050ti. i dont edit. just a light gaming like dotas and multi tasking. writing papers and such.

 

 

this is my basis or atleast learning towards it.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/48z4HN

 

but since im looking at 2nd hand ones. i figured maybe i can cheap out. 

i have the GPU and theres a psu 500w for $30 i think its thermaltake. and im about to buy a $14 8gb ram.

yall think $120 is not worth it and i can go for a better one.

my plan is to use and upgrade.i have been looking for lga1151 second hand boards no luck.

Don't get a 7100. Get the new 8100 or a Ryzen 3 1200 instead and throw out the liquid cooler as it's a waste of money for a locked CPU.

 

I would also get a different psu. The EVGA B3 series don't have proper OCP or OPP which is kinda dangerous. I would look at something like a corsair cx or CXM grey sticker psu.

worth $120, not really (to me).

i recieved a message back from another one 

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Solution-Z170A-Motherboard-PC/dp/B0131GA4VE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1508089874&sr=1-1&keywords=msi z170 pc mate\

 

he said he bought it for $130 in amazon but its only $89 LOL

so i said $40 and he replied $75 and he will deliver it, is it worth it maybe if i can go lower to $60
