Building my Friend a small work computer on a budget.
Far as I can tell it's all Compatible. Any Suggestions would help me pull the trigger on the order.
plan on using Windows 7 pro. No overclocking
Thanks for any advice.
Sorry... Help me out here...
Why are we spending 180$ on a case and PSU and end up putting 6800K inside?
I'd rather go with larger system as a size, cheaper case and FX6300 or FX8300 or something... I am not even sure how well multithreaded Photoshop and Corel Draw are. If they are not well multithreaded, you will be way better going for i3 or something...
Why?
here, you'd probably be fine with even just like an i3 and spending that money on 1TB of SSD storage
Motherboard has built in wifi, got a bit higher end hard drive as it seems that it's meant to be portable

Went with 6800K for the APU an clock speed.
My Friend Has a small crap Dell an wants to keep the size small.
Trying to stay with amd to keep cost low.
You'd be better off with an i3 or i5, unless you just wanted something really cheap with like an A8 7650K
The cost is set... We are talking performance here... If we can squeeze better for the same price, you and your friend may want to go larger...
Hi... Um... I am sorry, i know lately i am a bit annoying, but this cooler have a lot of issues. Noise being one of them and pump failure being the other often encountered one... The one with the square pump is the bad one... There is another one with a round pump... It does not have that many reported issues...
Probably an H60 then

Far as the other build goes, it might maybe make some sense to go with an A8 if he doesn't already have a large display to work on, or a color accurate display

I'd go w/ a phanteks enthoo evolv itx for $60. Better clearance for a tower cpu cooler (liquid is very overkill and air is quieter and lasts longer, just a fan replacement every now and then). other than that i have no issues w/ your build.
