Will it run?

[ervinelim]

AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0 ghz 2x1mb Dual-Core Processor box (AM3))
mb am3, Asrock 880GM-LE
Power Color HD 5670 1gb/128bit ddr3
Kingston 4gb ddr3-1333 pc2-10600
500gb Seagate 7200.12 16mb sata hdd
Thermaltake TT 450watts TR2 RE Qfan

Already have DVD writers, Monitor, OS, Casing...

So will this thing run? It's just for my mom that loves light gaming.

What type of games does she play? The GPU is a decent choice however if she sticks to flash games etc even integrated is fine and can save the expense.

I would likely go with an Antec PSU for this, I like the earthwatts series for my lower builds like the 380 or more likely the 430 in this case.

She likes sims 3 the most. That's why i bought the card. Sims 4 might come around and it's a hassle to upgrade. Also, the build's pretty cheap ^_^ . Sadly, the store I go to doesn't have Antec. They only have HEC and Thermaltake .

Id suggest buying at newegg.


Whats your total budget?

If newegg caters to South East Asian Nations then that'd be great but sadly it doesn't. Also, is gigabyte a good mobo?

HEC 500watts, PSU, Rapter II, 80 efficiency

I've changed my PSU and Mobo. I think it's a good build.

I'd go back to the ASRock Mobo. Not the gigabyte is bad, but the NVidia chipsets are frighteningly obsolete.

Thermaltake is a bit better quality than HEC, but neither shoudl be too stressed by that build.
