First PC Build (500-500ish)

IrishSkittle

1. Budget & Location
Budget is 500 Euros to 550 euros, and location is Ireland :)

2. Aim
I plan on using this PC for gaming with my friends on games such as H1Z1 or Arma 3 on normal settings 50-60fps

3. Monitors
Unfortunately I haven't decided on a monitor yet, so if you have any suggestions that would be nice (Not included in the PC budget, and around 100 euro would be nice <3)

4. Peripherals
I need a keyboard and mouse, any peripherals that work and are mostly black they'll do :) (Not included in PC Budget)

 

Here is the build I did myself: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/38BMjX any constructive comments on it would be nice too, thanks <3

I usually support AMD builds if it makes sence but in this case it doesn't he only needs single core performance, and isn't streaming or anything(even thoughbits all about the 6300 for price to performance for streaming)

on a budget, the 6300 is pretty good. 

For a work station yes, but for gaming no. Intel is better for gaming.
