Agreed fully. By the way, I think Fry's had a 6600k on sale for $189 the other day.

Banned for the greater good.

For KSP, I would wait until AMD releases their new Ryzen processors, they are rumored to be better than (or equal to) Intel's at a lower price point. The high-end Ryzens (~$400 from rumor) are coming in January and the lower end ones in late Q1 or so from rumors. Processor is more important in KSP, I'm not really sure what goes into a processor besides core count and clock speed (I know there's more, but not really what it does, that's why an i5 6600k is better than a FX 8350). A dedicated GPU would make a huge difference for games and visuals in KSP, if you're on a budget a RX 460 2GB is a great card at just under $100 for one. If he does other games and would like to make use of the FreeSync support technology in a Radeon graphics card and you can spare some more money a FreeSync supported monitor would be a good idea to purchase. FreeSync matches the refresh rate of the monitor to the framerate in-game if it is in the range (Range for the linked monitor is 30Hz-75Hz I believe for this monitor). It's a luxury, so you don't need it, but if you have a supported Radeon card and are looking for a new monitor that's a good monitor to pair up with a RX 460. For general gaming right now this should do well for a low price (includes a wireless network card, 120GB solid state drive for faster boot times and loading KSP a lot faster, and the monitor): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rrfxTH I assume you already have a monitor, so if you don't need that (it's more of a luxury), here's a list without it: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K8wm2R You'll still need a Windows key for both, but you can use the Windows product key from your old computer if you can find it and register with that to save the $100 on a key. If you need an optical drive they are about $15, but you can use a flash drive to install Windows and that will work perfectly fine. And finally, the motherboard in the list supports 4 slots of RAM, and I chose a 2x4 set of RAM, which when installed will allow higher bandwidth because it is two sticks of RAM instead of one, and because it is 4 slots of RAM you can upgrade more later. I didn't include a hard drive either because you can wipe your old one and use that for other storage and keep the SSD for Windows, KSP, and a few other things. I feel I left some stuff out.... I'll edit post with a different list if people on the r/pcmasterrace Discord have suggestions to make it better for the price.

I won @BagelRabbit's drawing, and it arrived yesterday, it might take a few days. Not sure.

1. Bluedog Design Bureau - Parts, parts, and MOAR PARTS! 2. Stock Visual Terrain - What good is a RX 480 if I don't max out graphics? 3. Stock Visual Enhancements - What good is a RX 480 if I don't max out graphics? 8k textures, of course. 4. Tantares - N1 and Soyuz are awesome! 5. GravityTurn - I'm a lazy person. 6. Kopernicus - Lets me have my nice 3.2x rescale 7. Sigma Dimensions - Lets me have my nice 3.2x rescale 8. RCS Build Aid - This makes ship building sooo much easier. 9. Cormorant Aeronology - Shuttles are pretty cool. BDB improves. 10. ModuleManager - Lets everything run smoothly.

oh yeah oops... If I were you @DJCrawford24, I'd wait for AMD's new processors to come out. They might beat what Intel has now for a lower price point.

I must have gotten Ryzen's release date mixed up, oops! Sorry @Coolwhip1280!

Banned for not arguing.

It's going to come out in January I believe.

Key word semblance.

i bought Factorio rest in peace any semblance of a social life

What do you want to do with this PC? I can improve it for you. This will beat it for gaming. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bjW9nn, you'll still need a Windows key for it.

8/10 See you often in the forum games.

It will crash, but you can still play if you don't use mods. I recommend buying a 8GB set of RAM to put in, most laptops have replaceable RAM.

It's been five minutes to the cookie despawned, I make another one and eat it. My cookie.
