Hey guys,

A friend asked me to build his grandpa a cheap ass pc, just to be able to skype with him...
He told me had a +-200€ budget...
So i started to look shit up...
Since i am a salesperson IRL, i know when people say their budget, you can try to cross it with 10%.
So i came up with this.

Now, i was wondering, since this is soo cheap, and with Sales starting in Belgium in 2 weeks...
i can pretty much make this configuration for -20%
Also, i would not buy a case for that personal use so i could make this build for about 150€.
I would mount it on something xD

Wouldnt this be enough to bot 1 account?

Yeah it'd be enough to run a bot, however you WILL need an aftermarket cpu cooler. Don't be a cheap ass and use the stock cooler. It ain't worth it.

FWIW, AMD is garbage, but cheap and (semi) stable if you have a decent cpu cooler.

Only reason I don't have a sandy bridge is because they were being recalled and I didn't feel like waiting. His A4 5300 isn't TOO much worse than my Phenom II 965 so he could run probably manage to run 2 if he didn't want to do anything else at the same time. Mine is roughly 5 years old and runs 2 bots at 70-85% usage, no overclock.

True, I'm just saying that his cpu will overheat Besides, since he wouldn't be buying a case, he could use a bit of the $ saved on a cheap cpu cooler. Honestly it's not a bad build for running a bot or 2 Would be better with 8GB of ram, but sometimes you gotta ball on a budget
