I am trying to help out a friend with his first pc build and

>>54868638
if hes on a 500-600 dollar budget then why the fuck is he buying intel?

Also shit cpu...will bottleneck severely. And overpriced Motherboard.

to be frank however it seems even with this build you have cash left so invest in a slightly less shitty CPU/GPU...pirate windows for savings. Also consider overclocking if he's going to play AAA games...more bang for buck and all that.

Now I have a decent gaming rig I setup for less than 300 so I damned well know you can do better than this.

get a gtx 1080, a raspberry pie, and a 16gb flash drive

Also to help your budget constraints consider buying a cp[u/motherboard combo. Quite a few places do those. Buying them seperatly costs a bit more. use extra for a better GPU

Mind you I use the same GPU myself But I have delusions about its abilities, and it's not quite AAA title worthy. It's a damned fine card for the money, but with a bit more you can do much better

the original idea was http://pcpartpicker.com/list/kJ2D4C
but then he said he wanted intel

also he already got the 750 ti from a friend

if you have a microcenter where you live do this

>>54869138
meh...intel...

but whatevs if thats what turns his crank I suppose. You can still do a bit better than that.
here try sites like this:
http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/intel-processor-bundles.aspx

and there are plenty other places to find bundle combos. but thats a start that can help shave a few bucks off the total cost.

If its a budget gaming PC he's after You'll wanna put every extra penny into the graphics card.

The original idea is significantly stronger IMHO but still we can beat a dual core pentium.

if hes got the 750 ti already invest that extra cash into a better CPU then...he can always buy a better graphics card later right?

Also now that I think of it you can likely shave a few extra bucks off by swapping the 2400 ram out for some 2100 stuff. unless its an APU setup you likely wont notice a damned bit of actual difference.

I mean think of it this way, If he was gonna run a A10-7850 APU or something then sure that lil bit of extra speed will make a night and day difference in either a straight up APU or dual graphics system.

but if hes going dedicated graphics card and CPU, he can save a few more bucks on the ram and put it towards a better CPU or GPU and be far better off. They are both plenty fast but outside of an APU setup most will be hard pressed to tell the difference.
