under $600 budget/casual gaming
I'm working on building a low end machine that would be able to marginally play games along the lines of skyrim and some SWTOR. It doesn't have to have spectacular frames, just enough for it to be playable.
This is being built for my sister and she wants to keep the budget to under $600.
I put this system together on PC Partpicker and wanted to run it by others to see what it should be like, and if anyone would make any changes.
Not looking to OC anything either, just make it compatible for a casual gamer.
