Hi, have windows, 8 gb ddr3 ram and HDDs already but looking at building a small gaming machine for my 11 yr old stepson. He mostly plays minecraft, browser games and occasionally war thunder. Though given his age, I suspect I should plan on him wishing to play increasingly more demanding games as he approaches his teenage years.
I understand War thunder has a few more demands of a low end machine but I was wondering whether integrated graphics options would permit playable fps for such games, with a view of adding a graphics card at a later date.
So was looking at possibly the G3258 and 212 evo cooler, or maybe the AMD kaveri 7870k. Anything else I should consider? The intel 1150 route would give be more headroom for the future and I have to say I'm an intel fanboy myself but i'm open to other options.
