Pc for a friend.

[Antony Leung]

So I want to confirm this is good.

 

But first, the important part. 400$ Max. and also I will take consideration on less than $500. (but needs to be really good, so stick with 400$ mainly)

 

The build is for gaming only. The case and Hard drive will be recycled from a previous old PC. 

 

And the only part who will be bought used on ebay is the GPU... sorry I need to say this. ^{FUCK YOU MINERS.}   prices are around 150$ over there so that's why the price in the link, also don't mind the brand he will pick up anything that works and is good.

 

Since we can't no longer find a RX470 for 135$ ^{at the time}, I'll stick with a used 970 which is almost equal to a RX480, and is best bang for you buck right?

 

So here is.

PD. He had a nuclear bomb in his old pc  a old non rated, generic 150W psu.  So that's why I choose him a new one.

You should throw a cheap 120GB SSD in there for the OS. It makes a massive difference. Other than that, solid build for that price.

Ok. thanks. But I think my friend wont spend much more than 450$, I'm trying to make numbers easy to "digest".

 

Also I forgot to mention the topic. Bottleneck. 

 

Is it fine?

It's surprising what the G4560 can do. There shouldn't be any noticeable bottleneck.

Ok. so I'll stick to your words.  Thanks for your opinion.

 

but again I want to hear words for other peoples.

 

Now I'm confindent this will be a smooth transition converting my friend to the pcmasterace. Since I am too. look my profile for specs.

Actually, you can try look for H110 boards too. Just make sure the shop has updated the BIOS.

A Good SSD is only $50,and will still leave you with 10$ remaining (lol) so why not go for SSD as the Weed/420 King Druaga1 says...
