Newbie US$600 build

[bigriglover2]

Hi guys! I am completely new to computer building so my choice of parts is not the best

 

-US$600-650

-Gaming only (AAA titles like GTA V and far cry 4)

-Using one 1080p monitor (already have it)

-No peripherals needed

 

Parts I chose:

 

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7ghz dual-core processor

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A micro ATX LGA1151

Memory: G.skill NT series 8gb (2x4gb) DDR4-2133 memory

Storage: Seagate barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200rpm internal hard drive

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 380 4gb

Case: Thermaltake versa h21 ATX mid tower case

Power supply: XFX XT 400W 80+ bronze certified ATX power supply

 

Is this build doable? Thanks in advance guys!

The core i3 might not fare well with the R9 380, I would stick with a i5 in that case if you can afford it. Otherwise just get a 2GB 950 or 960.

I'd go for the i5 6400 for its four cores - GTA V will love that. Maybe a SSD if you can afford it (the A-data SP550 and the Sandisk SSD Plus are great budget choices).

It'll be just fine honestly.  He probably won't even get any bottlenecking.  Although any higher end and yeah, it'll struggle.

Personally, I´d get a little beefier psu, but other than that it´s fine.

I think that you might want a better PSU, also the 380 is a little too strong for that CPU, you might want to consider AMD for this specific pricepoint. Also there isnt really a need for DDR4 for what you want to use it for

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated  So I think I have a little more money to spend so I used this pcpartpicker guide.
