Hi all,
My girlfriend wants me to put together a new homework/youtube type of PC for her teenage boys, but as cheaply as possible. Doing a bit of looking around today, it seems I can build a skylake i3 system pretty cheap. I don't need a power supply (have an evga 430w lying around) or a hard drive. Here is what I was looking at:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/E4HAMOSCW4YF/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_v?
I want it to work for a while, but upgradeability isn't really a concern. I just want it to be reasonably quick (and stable) for homework, videos, maybe some web games. Is going skylake i3 excessive? Would I be better off with an older AMD or non-skylake build for cheaper? Thanks in advance!
Edit: Not sure if prime prices show on the wishlist, that stuff adds up to about $250. Also, would I need a fan for the i3, or do they still come with an OEM fan?
