Hey guys I am looking to build a pc for Christmas but I have not really been up to date with pc parts for a while now so I have no idea what would be the go to stuff for my budget, as you can see the max is 800 so anything under that would be good too..  I would need to buy the case and all the stuff inside. I already have keyboard, mouse and monitor. I am gonna try and buy stuff on black Friday or cyber Monday. 

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: This is a quick pc I built on part picker. I think ryzen is the way to go now for budget and performance? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vvPYVc

Actually, No, AMD is not good option for a budget build. 10400F delivers about same performance for much less money, You should not get 3600 unless it's same price as 10400/10400F.

 

Changed cooler to much better one

Changed RAM, Never get single stick of RAM
