[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 570521, member: 2291"] lol , Gives you an answer before you ask a question :) non-K version Now back to the topic. It's really hard to recommend i5 CPU wheres the budget limited to ~500$ with a monitor. He would need a quality PSU anyway. Antec makes great 450W quality PSU for relatively small amount of money. If he can stretch his budget a little more than he should go with Seasonic S12II 430W. Consider an SSD, at leats 128GB for your system partition. I really can't recommend any system built without SSD :) So, i3 would fit the budget, if he doesn't boot more than 2 virtual machines and some heavy multitasking.
