The only modern game he will probably play is gta v but other than that he will play older games.

My friend wants to start pc gaming and wants a budget thats under 550€. (Prices are a lot higher in holland than US). I showed him this: I3 4160 Sapphire r9 280 3G dualx Asus b85me WD blue 1tb Crucial bx 100 120gb Fractal design core 1100 CM g450m 450 watts Crucial 8gb ballistic sport Total: €549 Is this alright? I told him that brodwell won't really make a difference in gaming than haswell and that after Christmas he can get like an i5 4590 or 4690. Should he go with the r9 280 or wait till the r9 370? Thanks in advance, much appreciated Alberto.
