Hi,

I am making a pc for a friends office and wanted to know if this is a good build?

GIgabyte G1 Sniper B5 Gaming 126

Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz Dual Core (4th Generation) 063

Coolermaster Elite 371 + Coolermaster 400W PSU 073

Corsair ValueSelect 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 or
Kingston HyperX 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 050

Western Digital Blue 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0 058

Total 370

If anyone could give me some advice on this build it would be greatly appreciated. Its going to be mainly for office use so i didn't think that a separate VGA was needed.

Thank you,
Merry Christmas and Happy new year,
dragondude28.

Here is what I would suggest ordering for your friend, with this chip it will be quick for mutiple tasks, also this Mobo will allow for future upgrades. If your willing to spend the extra 30 I would suggest getting 8 gb of ram. I choose a lower watt but better quality PSU, last thing I am sure he wants is his computer not starting up at a beginning of a busy work day

Abscent's build won't work because it doesn't have any video output.
Here's a simple apu build for office needs:

-Opted for an APU as it has stronger iGPU than any intel processors.
-Went for a FM2+ board because that socket will support the next gen APUs.
