Thanks

The build I recommended will give you much better performance in games.

[OAcesync]

Not at high settings if that's what you are asking.

But if he wan't to do more than game, he's going to be hard-pressed to get decent application opening speeds. Or boot speed for that matter.

At that kind of budget I would generally put better hardware over faster boot speeds, if he wants to have an ssd then he can pick up one later as an upgrade.

Maybe he could drop the HDD and buy a better CPU+MOBO+GPU. Then he could buy the HDD later when he needs the storage. 120 Gb should last a couple of months at normal usage.

Thanks for the reply on the post. Could I run any game that will be coming out or is the build just for gta.

If it runs Windows, it'll run your Steam Library.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

I would go with a build like this and upgrade your storage in the future:

Agreeing on this. Better in-game performance. You can upgrade storage later with an HDD.

It could run Arma 3,

It could run any game you wanted.

Windows will run all Windows games (ie. just about anything on Steam).

But would the amd quad core cpu handle high intence games

The amd cpu would be able to run games but you would be better of with doing an Intel gaming build like this one:
