800$ Best Computer Challenge

[Phyronite]

Well one of my friends needs a new computer for his personal use.  He only has a budget of 800$ (USD), and this is the build I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/q2r7t6

 

However, I am curious if the community has any other good builds for this price point!

I don't think that i5 4460 needs a cooler unless he needs it silent. You might want to consider a skylake i5 6500.

If he doesn`t really want to expand in the future, you could go with a little bit cheaper PSU

 

Also the CPU cooler isn`t necessairy and if possible I would go with a 256 Gb EVO

[UnlimitedTMD]

Whoops.

 

I`m afraid that the 390X will exceed his 800$ budget

No? Well, by $4 And it's a 390, no X.

Its a bit over budget. But if he can stretch to it. I think it would be good.
