Build For My Friend

[BryteBytez]

My Friend Wants to join the PCMR (wooo). She has a really quite crappy pc currently, that can barely run Minecraft. My Friend, and I built up a list for our friend as an options for her PC build. She wants to get into other games such as GTA 5, CSGO (can run on a toaster), Rainbow Six Siege, and Escape from Tarkv. Her Budget is around 500-600 Dollars. We would like your guy's opinion on this build, and what we should alter. Thanks in advanced.

Thats a pretty solid build. The only thing i would do is git rid of the hard drive.

Made some slight changes for faster ram, bigger ssd, better case and psu. I recommend a second hand 1070, which can be found for about $200

I would Get Rid of the Hard Drive Except it has Such a Small SSD. I was thinking about getting a Bigger SSD Though...

I'd ditch the 580, get a used 1070 for about $120, then used the money saved to ditch the storage set up for a single 1TB SSD.

I would Love to get a used 1070, but my friend is doing all the buying. She has no idea whether something is a good deal, and would like to set her up with new stuff. That will last her longer than used stuff. But it is a hypothetical thing.

I'm sure you could guide her in the right direction, plus eBay has buyer protection.

It won't necessarily last her longer than used stuff; I've always bought systems used, never had an issue.
