Best gaming build for a friend under 550$ with tax

[badcable]

Looking to build a PC that will run games for a friend under 550$ anyone have a good list?

 

No windows or peripherals required. Looking for an AMD build Quad core if possible

 

Thankyou!

What games will he be playing, and what kind of settings does he want to see while playing?

new games without lag i believe a decent setup should be good

r9 280 and a i3 4150

8gb of ram

a cheap case

evga 650w gold psu

1tb wd blue

msi b85 motherboard

itll cost you exactly 550

if the tax is high

downgrade the i3 to a pentium g3258 and overclock it

if still too high

downgrade ur ram to 4gb

if stil worse

downgrade to a psu case combo for 50 and get a gtx 960 and dont overvolt it

that accounts also if your getting an OS
