I'm putting together a build for my girlfriend. Her Sony Vaio laptop isn't cutting it, so I'm going to throw something together. I do not plan on overclocking anything.
She's getting my motherboard (asrock z87 Pro4 from last year) and CPU (i5 4670k). She bought me an i5 4690k and Asrock z97 Pro4 combo deal from Micro center. Grand total $294.85. Still have to do the MIR.
She wants a smaller monitor, so I'm going to get her this Asus 22 inch.
All of her important work will propbaly remain on her laptop, and she plays the same 3-4 gmaes with me, so a relatively small SSD will suffice. I found this PNY.
I got this RAM for slightly cheaper last year, but I guess RAM hasn't gotten much cheaper.
She will use my 4870 and see how things go. No graphics card needed.
Still need to find a case. Looking to spend around $40 on a mid tower.
Looking to scoop up a 600W Corsair PSU. Microcenter has a modular one for $64 Apparently a 500W should suffice.
Need to find a cheap pair of speakers. She uses a headset while gaming because she's always on Skype anyway,
Update:
500W Power Supply
Will need to find DDR3 240 pin 2x4GB (8GB total) for ~$60.
Currently we have $625 budgeted/spent.
