A budget build for a friend.

OctalSnail73

  My friend asked me to compile a budget build for him. The problem is I'm not the best at budget building. So if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be wonderful. The budget is $650-$750 (he asked to keep it as low as possible in this budget constraint) usd and his primary focus is gaming. If you do make any alterations plese try to keep the black/white/green theme that he wanted.Thanks! Also I realize I could've gotten an I3 or a pentium but I wasn't to sure about it.

Ohhhhh, I'm stupid. I should've probably put two and two together and figured out zen was short for ryzen, I do know about ryzen.

I would do this, but still waiting for Ryzen and see how prices are affected. Maybe they go down enough for you to get a 1060 instead of 1050 Ti.
