I Helping My Friend Get His Build

[GamingLegendFX]

So my friend is looking to upgrade his laptop into a desktop, he has a budget of 1000 (600 for build and 400 for peripherals).This desktop will mainly be used for gaming. He wanted me to put up these 2 builds on the forums too see which one is better and what can be improved.

No That Was My Other Friend Sorry

I would recommend trading some of that peripheral budget for actual hardware, going intel CPU + mobo, and look at some different GPU options with the new balance

Your builds are all over the place. In the second one you have a $10 SSD, and a $30 HDD? Why wouldn't that apply to the rest of them?

I'd go check out the used market if you're on a budget. You can pick up some great deals.
