Sure, the components are not the best, but that was the whole idea of this build. Hopefully this will help someone else that doesn’t have the $$$ to shell out for expensive components. In order to meet the stated “econo” budget, I needed to veer off the buyer’s guide with a couple of the components.
Finally, I wanted to use the other peripherals we already had. With the added price of the GTX 950, that brings the my total cost to just over $400. The GTX 950 will allow some decent gaming capabilities that rival many so-called gaming laptops. Utilize the EVGA GTX 950 from the “HackinWorth” build since my son is replacing the GPU in that rig with a GTX 970. System will be used mainly for Internet browsing and other light duty use. I decided to pick up the Amazon Prime Rewards card and save another $70. I went about $11 dollars over budget (pre-tax). Build a useable i3-6100 Skylake “econo” build from Amazon components that would cost no more than $300.00. I call this one “HackinMouse” because it is smaller and more efficient than my first build. 
1 TB 7200 RPM Seagate HDD (mounted and installed after the initial install, plug and play) - using 500 GB partition for Time Machine and the other 500GB for data. This gives the machine a more professional OEM look. The Zalman T4 has a built in optical drive door with eject button. Optical drive/DVD burner (internal) from 2012 Asus PC (mounted and installed after the initial install, plug and play). Shhh Mouse (wireless - plug dongle into keyboard). Apple keyboard (USB wired) - like new from an iMac.
