Sister's first PC build

[clunacleena]

My sister is doing more and more papers for school and she does not have much money to spend. She really likes the small case. I showed it to her from the recent bitwit video. Just making sure im not missing something with the components of the PC. Thoughts please.

For writing papers, I personally would just get a laptop.

But yes I would just do a laptop like a Windows surface

Chromebook maybe? 

Scratch that, But WOT isn't all that demanding. A basic laptop with an intel GPU would do the trick, but if you do want to go for desktop, that would probably do the trick

@Crunchy Dragon she plays WOT blitz from sometimes. I forgot to mention that. sorry

Use a Coffee Lake cpu with stock cooler.

 

She will need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and o/s license.

That barely takes anything to run: https://wotblitz.com/en/content/docs/system-requirements/

 

A halfway decent laptop could run it.

It can run it, but it won't look great. WOT has good graphics if you run it higher. Perhaps get a gt 1030?

I would suggest u to get a laptop. It would be more than enough fr her needs.

But still, if she wants a new PC, then build something like this...

I don't believe so. In Win says the case is "cpu heatsink compatible". The i3-8100 is only 65W TDP so it does not need a large cooler. Unfortunately I still can't find the height of the cooler that ships with the cpu.
