    CoolDude520So I have a friend who is just looking to play some League of Legends, Minecraft, Planetside 2, and maybe some other games (Around the same performance requirements). Ive created a build that I think will work fine, and will perform better than his single core ( I know, cringy) CPU and his barely functioning GPU. I am open to suggestions, and I want to check with the community. Things that i think may be viable to change are the Motherboard, PSU, and CPU (to intel?). I plan to get the OS from a site such as reddit. The Monitor is included for and idea of the overall price. Heres the Build:

    PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dbZ9sY

    Also, the computer most likely won't be upgraded in the future (Excpet maybe something like a GTX 1060 if that's even going to be a thing in the future).


    If he wants to play PlanetSide 2, I recommend a FX-6300 or 8350. PlanetSide 2 is hard on the CPU, so 6-8 cores on AMD chips is a good choice. Everything else is perfect/overkill, so you're good to go!

    The 960 is nearly the same as a 680 preformance-wise. Not to mention there's mini-ITX 960s for about $200. the 960 isn't gonna last forever, but it's a very good card for cheap 1080p gaming.

    I'm overkill and decided to get a 980 Ti for my 1080p dell u2414h (buying 2 more of the u2414h and getting another monitor for a 1-over-3 config).

    Windows 10 is great, I've been using it for a month and really like it. Virtual Desktops will be your best friend BTW

    This looks amazing! What are the required and recommended specs? If it's as good as it looks, you've found a HUGE fan!

    Look on craigslist, as that won't work.

    For Recording and Skype, along side Minecraft, you'll be looking at a $425 minimum to get it running solid. Look for quad-core CPUs or APUs with 6gb+ of ram. You can always load Linux on the PC you get to minimize the amount of load directly from the OS, but at the cost of simplicity

    Craigslist is your best bet. If you go to buy a computer, ask to look inside, make sure it's fairly clean, and ask if you can boot it up and let it sit for maybe 20 minutes. If everything goes well, you should have no problems then..

    Awesome site!

    I don't have any specific staff history that can be cited (all of it was for servers that never really opened to the public or were just for plugin testing), could I get some testimonials from people I've done work with prior?

    Anyways, I'm signing up - hopefully premium plugins can happen and I can post some of my work on there.
