Huckleberry Pie Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thought of suggesting this for a friend as his laptop got fried recently, and so I was wondering if this would be 'swell enough for a Yosemite system: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Haswell Processor - $130MSI CSM-H81M-P32 Intel H81 Socket 1150 Motherboard - $60MSI N650-MD1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - $72.99Raidmax ATXA21WB ATX Mid Tower Case - $27.99Coolmax 600W 140mm Smart Fan ATX Power Supply with single PCI-E - V-600 - $44.99Patriot DDR3 4GB 1333MHz (1X4GB)Module (PSD34G133381) - $44.99WD Desktop Mainstream 500GB Internal Hard Drive Retail Kit WDBH2D5000ENC-NRSN - $59.99 He usually buys his wares at Fry's in Indianapolis, and he's a bit on a tight budget, but any suggestions may do.

Huckleberry Pie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Noted. I'm aiming for a similar build as well, but I don't have the funds atm so it can wait in my case.

kvonlinee Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I, myself, like the 1155 socket, because incase I don't need a very strong cpu, just watch movies for example, i could grab a celeron cpu to make it run. Go to socket 1150, it must go by core i3, almost $90 buck more. Dual to powermanagement at kernel on cpu.
