Since I bothered you all with this, here's what will be inside my father's new PC (sorry for the crappy pic):
I ended up going a bit over budget but only because some last minute changes from the final user. I wanted a 240GB drive but he wanted a bigger one, and he wanted a physical copy of Windows... Well, it's his money.
The specs are:
- CPU: Intel i5-10400. Not as good as the 11400 but it's still a 6-core/12-threads part that will serve him well
- RAM: 2x8GB 2400MHz DDR4. Not the fastest but, since it's not for games, the performance penalty will be minimal
- Mobo: Gigabyte H410M H. Not going to lie, it was the cheapest board with an HDMI output.
- SSD: A 480GB Crucial BX500
Total hardware cost: 349.77€
Windows is another 80€, but thankfully my brother had a spare copy of office. Apparently it's from work, they gave him a windows copy but he uses a Mac (poor loser), and they gave him a Mac version without asking the other one back.
Please excuse my bad English.
Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070
Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.
