PC Build for brother

[Lord Gaben]

I was thinking about doing a PC build for my little brother he only plays minecraft and watches youtube and plays some online flash games, I was think of a build that would suffice but would not be over the top, I was no going to build it any time soon I was just wanted some recommendations.

 

Case: Corsair 200r

PSU: Corsair CS550M

CPU: A8-6600k

RAM: 2x 4GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600mhz

SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB

GPU: Sapphire 270x 2GB Dual-X

Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-f2a88x-d3h

Optical Drive: LiteOn iHAS124

 

The main thing I am wonder is will this run minecraft well at full

Budget? The 850 Pro is more expensive than something like an MX100 would be, and you can get an FM2 CPU and not an APU. That'll save some money too.

My Minecraft runs at maxed out everything, 1080p with a GTX980 and i7-4790k hitting about 150fps-ish in online games.

You could probably get away with a pentium g3258 if thats any cheaper, and I'd go for the samsung 840 evo as its a bit cheaper of an ssd but still pretty good.

You don't need an 850 pro for this system, use a cheaper SSD such as the Crucial MX100 or 840 EVO and move the money to a better CPU.

 

Do not combine an APU with a graphics card, rather buy a better CPU as the graphics part of an APU will not be in use when running the 270x.

Ok I will change the SSD to an 840 Evo 256GB SSD instead, I will probably stick with the 6600k though as I would only getting what he needs, I know the built in GPU will be redundant though
