    My nephew wants to get into building games when he is older. He is 15 and is doing graphic design etc. I showed him the c++ course I just signed up for (https://www.udemy.com/unrealcourse/) and he wants to do it to.

    He only has a lappy and so I am looking to build up a cheap rig for him to do the course on. Graphics card not an issue nor ram but as for the build I was looking at a 2500k but boards are hard to come by. Not fussed about overclocking it.

    Do you think we could getaway with an i3 if we went a bit newer ?

    Well I can tell you for a start a G3258 ain't enough... I've been wanting to get my head around Unreal Engine 4 but it just runs like a bag of spanners on my PC. It's unusably bad.

    If I could get a mobo for a reasonable price for him then the 2500k would be the one.

    Also cursing my inability to afford that Udemy course... looked ideal.

    Yes but I don't have £15, let alone £195. Also, meant to post in the learning c++ thread.

    I might have a 1155 board about that fits the purpose

    Would a DH67CL suit?

    No overclocking and No I/O shield but would let go for reasonable money.

    Let me know and will stick a thread up in MP.

    Gary. Pretty sure I have some fans you can have for postage here if you need them. I *think* I have two of those power cool fans in blue. One is missing the rubber though (though I may find it). Any way yeah, if you need some 120s LMK.

    I may have an old Quadro too.
