500$ build

[Lays]

Hi, my friend needs a 500$ build, I'll be piecing together a list for him, but it'd be helpful if more people with different outlooks could help me out, so I can have multiple lists and the least amount of bias possible. 

 

If you can post a 500$ build list for it pls.

 

He'll be playing league/ a few other games maybe call of duty bf4.   Preferably a low end gpu like 7750/7770 would be good, maybe even a 6xxx series or 600 series card if you can find it for cheap add it in pls.

 

Thanks guys

To be honest, a pc worth 500 usd and he wants to play next-gen games like BF4 isn't that realistic (at least not with high settings)

Also, what parts does he have? Like monitor, keyboard and mouse. We need that info bro

 

But also, this isn't that bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6olutcuXHc ;D

he has a mouse/kb I'm going to send him a monitor, and we're not talking high settings, low/medium is perfectly fine. 

 

Also if you haven't seen, bf4's req's aren't all that much compared to bf3's, basically just a generation newer for "recommended" settings

Use the small 32GB as a cash with the included software for a much better PC performance without much cost. I've chosen the 6300 and a little cheaper GFX card than is actually possible in this price cat. for future GFX upgrades . If he wants a DVD burner just get the cheapest Lite-On or Asus one you can find on pcpartpicker wich has the 5 stars rating.

If he really  wants to stay under the 500 Dollars just lower the PSU wattage to 500 or 430 ( Corsair 430CX - 500 )

[Guest GRRigger]

you can get 6300 and 7850 for the money

 

EDIT: For 30 bucks more you get monster:

Case: discounted, very good case ( -20$ )

6300

7870 Ghz

 

The mobo is overclocking, put a cooler on it, overclock the cpu when you feel like it. 

And yes, mobo had HUGE 25$ discount.

 

With 7870 you can play pretty much on ultra settings.

think I may tell him to do that, since you found cheaper ram + mobo, that saves like 40$ off the last list
