So my friend already has a LGA1150 motherboard. He has a hard drive case and power supply as well.

 

He just wants to upgrade on a really low budget. His PC is finished but he's on integrated graphics with only 6gb of 1066mhz RAM he is currently running a 2.6ghz Pentium dual core CPU again he is on a low budget (he didn't give me an exact number but said really low so Core CPU's are out of the question

 

 

how do these upgrades sound

 

 

CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116998

 

RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313355

 

Video Card  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202081&cm_re=R7_260X-_-14-202-081-_-Product

 

 

He does some light gaming and mostly just uses His PC for videos and streaming to twitch from his console

 

 

Games he plays Are PayDay2 Team fortress and left for dead 2. at least those are the games he's currently playing he's more of a console gamer so I doubt he'll play any hard core games on his PC

current build and total cost   http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/150083-thrift-shop-build/

 

I apologize for my crappy English I'm American

Like I said he didn't give me a budget so I went the cheapest  could go that will still give him decent performance
