Hey everyone, 

 

I am building a little game PC for my cousin. He got a budget of 500-600 euro and he plays mostly games like battlefield and also dayz.

 

As I am aware AMD cpu's are the best deal with budget builds like this but I don't know the AMD line-up that well. Can you guys please help me choose parts.

 

He already got a monitor, mouse and keyboard so that isn't needed!

 

A copy of windows is also not needed ;) 
 

Thanks in advance  :)

I5-8600K - GTX 1080 - 16GB RAM - 1.5TB SSD

I want everything pink

Give me a moment to make a build. Will I need to include windows?

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

600 euros translates to 800 USD so I kept that in mind since pcpartpicker doesn't have an option for the Netherlands (Q_Q). This build will get him really quite far though If you could stretch your budget a bit you can get an SSD in there as well.

 

Prices do not translate very well into EUR so I will adjust the build a bit to be more in the region of $700.

I do hope you know how to OC though because it is very much worth OC'ing the FX-6300 as it can be OC'ed by quite a bit relatively easily.
