Hi Everyone,
I am looking at building my brother a pc for gaming (not massive amounts) and general usage. It needs to last for as long as possible.
There were a few things I wasn't sure off like if I should get him an i3 or if an i5 is the better option to keep it as future proof as possible.
There isn't a hard drive on the list as I am looking to upgrade my own so he will be having them. The case he chose as he liked the looks of it
.
If there is anything that I could change to get it cheaper but still have the confidence it will last him or I have chose something stupid then please suggest away. Hopefully that is enough information. Thanks
