My brother-in-law is huge into Sim City, but his computer is circa 2002. I have a 1155 mobo laying around, a case, a 380 Earthwatts PSU with a Celeron 650 and 7200 HDD.
Was hoping to pick up a GPU and CPU that would play Sim City fine, and possibly down the road (through my double games/humble bundle deals) other games that I can play with him. I know the PSU is a bit light, but when I picked it up originally I didn't plan on using a discrete GPU.
Any suggestions for a CPU/GPU ~200 that would max out his potential to play @ (I'm assuming here 1024 max)?
