[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments
Pentium:
Drop the watercooler since you're using a locked processor and the stock Intel cooler is actually really quiet, otherwise it's fine. If it were something you were going to build now I'd recommend Haswell instead of Skylake since it's cheaper and nearly identical in performance, but when you get around to building it socket 1150 mobos are probably going to be phased out so w/e.
EDIT: You could probably replace the WD Black with a Hitachi 7K3000; same size, half the price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/hitachi-internal-hard-drive-hua723030ala640
It's not as fast, but it's still a 7200RPM drive and she'll already have a big SSD.
SquartleTurtle:
i really like hitachi for their hard drive failure reliability
Bisjac:
I upgraded to a z170 mobo and a k model cpu. Added like 60 bucks lol
