NerdGoneWild Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 My Fiance wants me to build her a pc so she can game with me in my office. She said she only wants to spend around $1,000 and asked if that was possible. If you guys could send a list of parts for a build or a link to a build for around this cost it would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't need to run things at max graphics, but I don't want something that constantly lags and gives issues. I already have a nice monitor, keyboard, mouse for her to use.Or if anyone has some parts off an old build lying around that they don't need, I can even paypal some money pending the parts work.Thank you,Tony C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) A tad over budget, but its possible to bring it down a bit. This is a pretty solid build that would last her a while.

So the case and its components. I play games like D3, LoL, Starcraft II. She likes Sims and games of that nature. So do you really want to spend 1000? It doesn't take much of a computer for those games at 1080p, could save some $ and still have more than enough computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetfats Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I would look into getting an APU for a build like this. And then in the future a gpu could be added if the apu isn't keeping up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
