$800 build for friend :)

[JigglyPufflez]

Hey guys, so my friend told me he wanted a new rig as his current rig just isn't cutting it. They play LoL, war thunder and are thinking about playing some newer games. One of them plays music and will be using music producing programs (No clue as to the name of what they will be using sorry). Anyway this is what I've come up with.

If you have anything better I'm completely open to any changes!

 

*Note* They already have a mouse and are going to take my old keyboard (Razer Blackwidow) they have a monitor and also have Windows 8.1 64. So It's just the computer specs that are really needed.

Thanks in advanced!

 

Edit: His budget is $800-$900 and Prices can only be from Australian stores

Switch out the AMD 6200 for the 6300, cause its cheaper on CPL and runs faster.

you could have though about that before posting. at least you edited.

Go with a FX6300 instead. Looks solid else-wise.

Prices change everyday, the thread wasn't pinned, I'd have never seen it unless you mentioned it to me. Not much help considering it's from American stores, and prices vary up to $200 (Graphics cards for example)
