I have a buddy in need of a gaming rig and he wants to start playing Cities Skylines. His brother put together this build for him which I really don't like for the price.
Despite it's age, the 4770k is still punching well above it's weight class and most sites that compare processors have the Intel still outperforming the Ryzen 2 as a gaming machine.
I'm thinking of offering him my old build. Tell me what you think please. I gauged most of the prices off reddit hardware swap.
