Hey all, hoping I could get a quick yes or no on this build for my girlfriend. She wants to get in on the, for all intents and purposes, basement of PC gaming and I put together a rig for her that came in around $260 without shipping and taxes. I just wanted to know if the power I have in it could run 720P games at low settings. My personal rig is god-like in comparison and can run practically anything, but I'm going for the pure opposite. I opted for an APU build in hopes that it would not require a discrete card for the low-end gaming she plans on doing. Parts list below...
