I have been getting my 7 year old into building with me and she would be thrilled to build her own rig and that got me thinking.
She is not going to be running the latest and greatest games but I would like to load steam and snag a few games for her as well some flash games she already plays. Playing lan games with her would be cool too mine craft, portal 2, civ 5, etc, stuff where people are not getting blown to bits..
Having the ability to leave it running with a second drive to share on the network in its downtime would be a huge plus for me.
I have the following laying around:
Case - Fractal Core 1000
PSU - 600w 80 plus coolermax
CPU - Intel Pentium g645 (cpu only no cooler)
GPU - Zotac Gt 610
HDD - Seagate 500 GB
OS - Windows 8.1
Sata Cd/dvdrw Drive
Building something with most of this is a requirement. I cant help thinking for a little more money than an lga 1155 mobo, ram, cpu cooler, thermal paste could I buy something much better than a g645?
There is so many options out there I could really use some opinions as which way to turn. My budget is around $250 USD.
Thanks in advance
