Hello fellows!
I took an arrow to the knee and now my son is old enough to get his first computer!
He especially asked me to build it with him so it's a nice project.
Won't need to buy anything because I got everything in stock so here's the list:
Screen : LG Flatron 22 inches
Cheap RGB keyboard-mouse combo
Case : Chenming Cube with foldable handle
Motherboard : Asus A88XM-A
CPU : AMD A10-6700
Memory : 16 gigs DDR3 (4x4GB 12800U)
Hard disk : WD Black 750 gigs 64m cache 7200rpm
Antec EarthWatts EA-430D Green 430 Watt 80 PLUS BRONZE
Eventually I will try to upgrade and put a GPU so here's my questions :
1- What is the best GPU that could still run on Windows 7 Home Premium that I could put in there without overkilling it and not upgrading anything else than the PSU?
I have a stronger PSU (750 watts) but it will be overkill for this build for now.
2- This motherboard says on box Windows 8.1 ready but I want to stick to Win 7 as I wrote so will there be any issues? Safety of operating system won't be an issue because he won't be connected to internet. I will teach him playing older FPS games on CD/DVD like Call of duty 1, BF2, etc.
3- Any advices are welcome!
Thank you
