Used stuff: Memory: 4GB used, maybe 8gb if I can catch a good deal *** VGA: Used, around 70-80$ ***
She wants to browse kikebook, watch jewtube, play vidya (Sims 3, 4, etc for example). I checked the 880K's Passmark info, it's got a better single thread perf than my i7-950.
Questions: 1) How shitty this build is for the tasks above? I know it's not a maxed out i5 or i7, but the budget is tight here, as you can see.
2) Should I go for a lower model (CPU), and buy an EVO 212 or something for it? I know that the stock Intel cooler is absolute dogshite, my i7 950 regurarly overheated at loads. It also ran at 85-90C at load, and was loud as fuck.
> inb4 sqt This would have been a lengthy post there, and it's not a question like: "how do I code C++?"
*** - There is a good local site with trusted sellers, it's 99% I won't get scammed. Bought GPUs, CPUs, memory, everything from here already, never had an issue.
> inb4 why not i3 or Pentium Some games already bitch for 4 cores, and I know even the games that came out weeks ago mostly use 1 or 2 ... but I can't really Teamviewer all the times to fix games and shit because they refuse to start.

I didn't think it's that hard to say it's shit or there is anything better, etc.

>Some games already bitch for 4 cores They bitch about 4 threads not coes, i3 can run games just fine (unlike Pentium).
I don't like this build at all, 600W PSU is an overkil, FM2+ is outdated, OC'ing such a meh CPU is a waste of time and money.
- It doesn't have a dedicated GFX, but HD530 will run Sims or basic stuff like Dota2, LoL or CS:GO with no problems. - You could always add dedicated GFX later. - I replaced HDD with SSD since it improves quality of life a lot. - even stock i3-6100 will blow OC'd X4 out of the water.

Thank you. I will take that i3 advice.
The PSU is 600W because its a Chinese piece of shit. If she could afford a normal one, I would put a Corsair or Seasonic inside. The dedicated GPU might need 500 or 550W anyway.
The SSD is a valid point, but I skipped it entirely, I will just give her one of my 1TB hard drives and call it a day. With a HDD/SSD, the build would become even shittier.
As I mentioned in OP, I will have to find 4-8gigs of used ram and a proper used gaming GPU too.
BUT, the i3 is a very good advice, I thought they only have 2 cores and no HT. I only used i5 and i7 CPUs so far, and i5 got 4 real cores, i7 got 8 threads (4HT+4normal).

Save up some more money. Are you twelve or just lazy?

>310$ $310* this is simple shit user
Daniel Peterson
fm2+ is fucking shit 8gb is barely enough these days so get that ??? Tell your sister/gf to save up a bit more if she wants to play games stretch that budget to $500
Kayden Harris
Yeah the first line got erased. It's for my sister, she is bad with money, she cannot save up really, and makes bad financial decisions. (She is old btw.)
And she wants to buy a PC now. So I am trying to help her before she ends up with some pre-built shit with an APU.
Fuck off Randy. We use EUR shekels over here.
> 8gb is barely enough For you. And for me.
But for her, for a single game at a time? And when she browses on the web, one page for kikebook, and one for jewtube?
