Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this month
Budget Range: The aim is $500 with shipping. MIR are ok.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
This is a build for a 11 year old new to the PC. He needs something to make movies, run a CAD like program, learn how to code and make mods, and he want to try and make an APP. He also wants to try PC gaming. I have a steam account I will share with him (I am his uncle).
Are you buying a monitor: No he will be using 1080p (22 inch screen)
Parts to Upgrade: I got a spare gts 250 gpu that he will stat off with until he shows real interest. I think a 270x lvl card will be added later.
Do you need to buy OS: NO.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, (USA)
Location: City, USA: CA.
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)
I dont care if AMD or intel, but I do want a 4 or more core cpu.
Overclocking: Yes, but not right now so no aftermarket coolers pls
SLI or Crossfire: No / Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050,
Additional Comments: I need parts with lots of good reviews. I will be sending the parts to my nephew and we are going to so a skype build...I want stuff that is reliable b/c I will not be there for the build.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: The kid is showing real promise in design and fabrication. He lacks a PC and software exposure. This build will be his "lab" so it needs to be that 1st and a gaming rig 2nd.
Here is my idea of what it might look like:
1 NZXT Source 210 S case @ $39.99
1 Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM @ $64.99
1 ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard @ $89.99
1 CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W Power Supply @ $49.99
1 G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 @ $74.99
1 AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) @ $119.99
1 GTS 250 GPU (FREE)
