I want build my dad a gaming pc for father's day
Right now he's running a dell xps 420
Intel core 2 quad with a gt640 with 6gb ram
On a 32 inch hd vizio tv
So what I have so far is

COUGAR Solution Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fan and USB 3.0
So basicly I want him to be able to play modern games at least high settings def gta 5 and up and I want it to last long not go outdated to fast 2-4 years!! and I want him to see a massive difference compared to his really old pc I'm willing to change mobo if needed to
