My elementary school used these, however I have to ask, what purpose would this serve for you? Surely you don't plan on using a rig like this for gaming or productivity.

Na its not bad i see where You're coming from but its a big stepup from my currently PC i was on low budget and i was lucky to buy it all cheap. Im looking to upgrade the CPU and GPU in Month or so. To like a I5 2500k or even i7 3770 and like a gtx 1050ti

Sleeper PC??

I'd say add another stick of ram, a 4GB or 8GB

Yeah i think 8GB is enough for now. Probably will do 16 or more GB in future.

I game with 8GB of ram and works on *most* games. I would work on a new graphics card first tbh

A sleeper PC is where you take a really bad or older case, and deck the inside out with a ton of good specs. It looks like trash on the outside, but it's a beauty on the inside.

I mean, yeah is there a point to have a case? My dad could make me a lovely wooden case since he makes furniture.

For now im not going to use a case.[DOUBLEPOST=1521474479][/DOUBLEPOST]

IS it right i can go up to a i7 3770k on this motherboard and if not i would go for a I5 2400 or I5 2500k what graphics card would you recommended that would pair good with the following CPU.

My main question then is this: are you making a really low-budget rig, or are you going to do a sleeper PC?

If the current CPU in the computer is a 3rd Gen Intel I series then yes, you can support a I7 73770k on the motherboard, also you won't be able to use a 2nd gen CPU on it.

Also you probably want to consider a PSU upgrade because I doubt it'll be able to support the GPU aswell as the rest of the components.

I would not call it a sleeper pc, just a decent spec / low-budget pc for now.
