The APU would handle moderate 1080, especially with faster ram (2400mhz) 

You could add an SSD if you wanted

Then slow down and don't recommend him a computer that can't perform like it is supposed to 

And that A8 is more expensive than the 5800k and performs worse in single threaded performance and just as well for gaming m8 

Cmon now
