PC for Brother

[Wolther]

Hello, I'm looking for a $400-$500 dollar PC for my brother. He will be playing games like Minecraft, LoL, some WoW, and Skyrim (most likely 30fps1080p) He'd also mainly be using it for watching Twitch/youtube. I'll be upgrading it later, I just want to get him it pretty soon so that's why my budget is lower. 

P.S, no peripherals included, I already have them.

What country, do you need peripherals? a display?

United states, don't need any peripherals or display

If you care more about CPU : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tg3rdC

If you want a better GPU : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bTmbBm

 

The CPU build would be easily upgradeably since you'd only need to upgrade the GPU

The GPU build would give more FPS now but for upgrading you'd need to buy a new CPU + mobo

Then an i3 + 380 should be fine, it's a bit over budget but worth it, if you really need to get the budget down, get rid of the case, or go with an 860K from AMD
