Building for friend. Need everything except windows. Case, CPU, motherboard, ram, PSU, Graphics card, Hard drive, monitor, dvd, mouse , keyboard.
Moderate gaming like Minecraft and Lego world. I'm expecting their gaming tastes to go up once steam sales hit but if it is used for the newest games it would be nice to be able to at least run them, albeit at lower settings
Case
I'm considering a micro atx build due to limited space and also being cheaper? (never built small form factor before so don't know prices).
CPU
Quad core possible?
Motherboard
Onboard sound, ethernet
Ram
4gb if possible
Hard drive
Need to make this an SSD, minimum 128gb
Keyboard
Tenkeyless to save space on desk
I know it's a tall order but I could give a HD6850 1gb as a hand-me-down or throw a bit more cash into the kitty.
I'm considering a 1600x900 build instead of 1080p. Cheaper monitor and cheaper graphics card to drive it? Specs for both would be appreciated.
Tbh it doesn't seem possible but I'll be browsing the shop to get a better idea of how far over budget I'll have to go to make this work.
