PC build for friend

I have a friend who lives in Germany. He is looking to get a new PC. He needs a monitor and the PC itself. He doesn't need a keyboard and mouse. Budget is MAX 600 Euros.

 

He will be playing mainly Minecraft. No demanding games.

What about this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/hWqcJx

 

For some reason pcpartpicker wouldn't let me picka motherboard so I recommend this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157511&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Motherboards+-+Intel-_-N82E16813157511&gclid=Cj0KEQiA5oy1BRDQh6Wd572hsfkBEiQAfdTPCvYT9ObC8BgU1R2s93WkZw1xNORik2p2UKEV6tBx0wYaAruV8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

It would be around 610 euros 

Sorry for the late reply my internet is freaking out

Buying some pieces used, like from ebay.de (http://www.ebay.de/itm/272113163778?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649) you probably can get some SSD.

Hello, fellow enthusiasts! I think this would give him the most bang for his buck with upgradeability:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/shz2hM   :)

The SSD and the PSU are really bad, and the iGPU from the i5 too. And the monitor is bad too :(

That CPU is going to give him bad performance for Minecraft, it's a crazy CPU intensive game.

You can do this and save up to for a R9 380.  If that is too much, the GTX 950... and if need be, a R7 370(or 260X) or GTX 750Ti:
