Friend is thinking about updating his PC after a quick build this is what we came up with but not really stuck on any of the parts. Hes coming from an i3 4170 i think. He wants to stick with intel. Trying to get him something that'll last him a while since his 2 core system isn't working as well. So just trying to upgrade the processor but it needs the motherboard and ram upgraded to. Haven't really kept up with things nowadays built my computer back in 2011 lol.
