My friend is new to PC gaming and is looking for a gaming pc to get started with. It needs to be able to play games like overcooked, rocksmith, ETS, and KTaNE but he may want to play some Triple-A games at. It would be great if it could be upgraded pretty easily as well.

Here's a list I made already, was looking for any suggestions :)

Thanks for any help:

Get a b450 motherboard so you don't have to do a painfully hassled BIOS update for the b350 board.
