A New PC, Another Friend.

[Memorizer]

So yeah my friend needs a Gaming PC within a whopping budget of $520. Yes, he is indeed in a tight spot but I know you guys can help him.

 

OS: He's pretty set with that

Peripherals: Also cool with that matter

 

I hope you can help him make a gaming PC that can handle stuff. Thanks guys in advance!

Currently, he's a console gamer. But I think he likes to play FPS games like BF4 and CS:GO, that sort of stuff.

This. The R9 380 is a much better buy than the 960 for the price.
