The ULTIMATE productivity build for 2016. This $350 dollar build, whilst capable for games such as League if Legends, Minecraft and CS:GO is aimed more towards to productivity tasks such as base photo editing in Photoshop, creation of PowerPoint presentations, Excel Spreadsheets and Documents in Microsoft Word. It’s also great for surfing the web, and don’t worry you tab whores, this build’s got ya covered! This build for $350 will do all you need for basic productivity tasks, and beat out a comparable in price office PC! And once you’ve grabbed a copy of your preferred Windows operating system for a discounted price at http://g2a.com/r/geekawhat you’re all underway to get going!
The brand new Skylake Intel Core i3 6100 is a Dual Core non overclockable 3.7GHz CPU that supports Intel’s brand new Skylake architecture and DDR4 memory.
For DDR4 memory I chose a single 8GB dimm of DDR4 8GB memory. Clocked at DDR4 2400MHz (2.4GHz) the nice fast RAM ensures maximum performance, in eve the least demanding of applications.
The Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX motherboard features Intel’s new LGA1151 socket design, supporting the new skylake chips, and of course the latest standard DDR4 memory. The on board PCI-E slots allow upgrade of a graphics card (GPU) such as the GTX 950 or GTX 960 from Nvidia or the R7 360 or R7 370 from AMD - which would make this an extremely capable gaming PC at 1080p for GTA V, Star Wars Battlefront and the Witcher 3. The on board Intel graphics on the Intel Core i3 6100 suffice however for productivity tasks and are capable of outputting at full HD.
For nice fast and reliable storage the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB hard drive not only combines speed and reliability but also value. Cheaper than an SSD and Hard Drive this WD Black drive combines the 2 and gives plenty of capacity at OVER 1000GB!
All housed inside the very sleek and professional looking Fractal Design Core 1100 with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 for good legacy support and the latest, fastest USB transfer speeds along with power, rest and front panel audio.
To finish it all off, the power supply ensures your system stays fully juiced up with clean and reliable power the EVGA 430W 80+ power supply. The 80+ certification guarantees over 80+ efficiency at 25, 50 and 100% load scenarios and not only saves you money at the wall but also increases the lifetime and longevity of your system!
Overall this is a very capable build for $250 and is even suited towards a bit of light gaming, such as Minecraft, but also provides the upgrade path to turn into a BEAT $350 GAMING PC BUILD!
