Im building a PC with a budget of around 600-800

[LE_Evolution]

(Im building a PC with a budget of around 600-800*)

I want to build my first true PC for the purpose of gaming.

I want to have at least 16 GB of DDR3 preferably DDR4 which ever is better..

I plan to play games like cs go and Fallout 4. 

Also I will be playing on a 1080p 60hrz monitor.

And I still don't know Intel or AMD.

Thanks.

I don't think that you need 16 gb for gaming(my opinion). I do think that you should get 8 gb and spend more on other components such as your cpu or gpu.

This indeed looks like a great build. I have a operating system from a friend. What should I the extra money on? An SSD?

You could work on getting a better CPU, or get an SSD to boot off of or store whatever on it.

You could also work on getting a better cooler. Since I didn't know your friend had an OS, it wouldn't be too shabby to invest in a CPU cooler such as the H60 and a cheap SanDisk SSD Plus 120 GB to boot off of.

The r9 380 is better than the gtx 960.

"The r9 380 is better than the gtx 960. "

 

True. Very true. He could swap out the cards.

Swap out the HDD with a hybrid, and  Get a better psu(you will need it if you chose to install a power hungry card in the future) with the extra money. I also agree with using the r9 380. 

[HKZeroFive]

Might as well go for a R9 390 at this price point and get a solid 1080p 60FPS on Ultra:
