I'm thinking of skipping the TB HD and maybe a month later purchase it just to save some initial cost, I'm still trying to pick what route and processor I want to get for her as she won't be doing any intense gaming however of course I can't predict the future and know what new games the system will require to have

Be a man, get her this: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/kcBnNG

CPU will last a long while before needing upgrade. And when it gets slow you can pick up a $30 aftermarket cooler and OC that bish.

I would like to get her that but being a man ain't my thing since there's not any really good deals on computers yet maybe I'll wait till tomorrow to see what goes on sale as I'll get hit with my 40 e-mails I may just wait till next week and get her that, I don't really want to though.

So, still worth it.

How is the Intel Pentium G3258 never used it before, always had I5's in all my builds, though it does look impressive especially if I actually OC it, I may not need to for her uses I know it's the same architecture as I did a bit of research I love the price of course.

Just curious how it is at basic multi tasking as I know that is it's weak point such as Sims 4 or Wow while also on youtube/google can it handle small multitasking?

Thanks Guys.

On a tight budget they are awesome cpus.
