Hi folks. A friend of mine has asked me to build a cheap rig for his son. The rig will many be used for homework (yer right!! lol) Light gaming ie the sims ext, and more than likely "other" things 16yr lads get up too ..

He will be using a gtx460 that his dad has already supplied. I only have a small budget so what cpu will be best for his needs?

Ether:

AMD Athlon X4 750K Black Edition 3.40GHz (Socket FM2) Trinity Quad Core Processor for £60

Or

Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor for £50


Motherboards for ether are roughly the same price.

Thx gents. its looking like the Athlon then. I will prob clock it to 4ghz across all four cores and leave it at that,as he will be using the stock cooler for the time being.

What motherboard are you getting??

Its quite budget dependent, but i think i will go for the Gigabyte D3H A88X, As its a fm2+ board, and has all the features he will want.
