You might want to throw an SSD into this system as a boot drive. You will thank yourself for doing so.

I was thinking about it, this build happens to be for my brother who's budget is rather stiff. I tried getting some decent equip and tried to save him some money, also Could give him a 6600k that i have lying around.

A 6600K will perform better than a 7500 in most workloads.

 

SSDs are a relatively inexpensive and one of the most important components of a modern build. You can grab a Crucial BX300 or PNY CS1311 for about $50.

Was at Microcenter today and was thinking about adding it. I definitely could not have a build for myself without an SSD and i'd rather not do that to him haha

I would have gone with Coffee Lake, unless you're using a CPU you already have or are getting a really good deal on the 7500.

It's about the same as the i3 8100 in performance.

Well we have a deal on the 7500 for roughly 160 new

Too high. You can pick them up used pretty often for about $120. There's little to no difference buying new vs used with something this new.

I do have a 6600k in my build, was planning on moving to a ryzen or i7. Could throw that one in this.

I'd probably do that. $90 really is what a 7500 level CPU is worth and it's still pretty rare to see them that low.
