I'm building a budget gaming pc for my brother, and I'm looking for 2nd opinions. To be used primarily for gaming.
CPU: Skylake i3 is enough (custom price from MicroCenter) Mobo: Cheap reliable (custom price from MicroCenter) RAM: Only needs 8GB OS: Student Discounts are Great
Notes: I am thinking of selling the 780 ti and buying a 1050/460, which would also lower the cost of my psu. I also have a standing offer for a i3-2100 + Mobo for $40 which would save me $100. Any thoughts?
