Well, we will find money for a 550 then.

the xfx 550w ts at 66.47 euros and antec hcg at 66.90 euros would be a better value.

Well we could drop the SSD for now, but I guess the price difference between Skylake and Haswell is not that much, so if he waits for another month, he could get the i5-6500. Only problem: The mainboards are of bad value for what you paying.

 

EDIT: Btw, the Case is not a case, but a side panel with a window to replace a non-window side panel.

you don't need an i5 to play games, this i3 will do just fine.

i wouldnt pair an i3 with the r9 380 card, might cause issues in some cpu demanding games

i would pick gtx 960 over r9 380 in this case

So we took the Intel i5-4460, kicked the Corsair PSU, choosed a be quiet! one and got the following build:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460                                    163,55 EUR

GPU: PowerColor Radeon R9 380 PCS+          187,86 EUR

RAM: 1*8GB Crucial ValueRAM DDR3-1600     25,45 EUR

HDD: 1TB WD Blue                                           46,19 EUR

Mainboard: ASRock H81 Pro BTC 1150 DDR3 48,53 EUR

PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 9 Modular 80+        67,62 EUR

Case: Sharkoon VS4-S                                     26,77 EUR

Front fan: be quiet! Pure Wings 120                 6,34 EUR

 

Total: 572,31 EUR incl. taxes and free midnight shipping, 570,29 EUR due to hourly changing prices

 

I am only concerned about the single RAM-stick and the Contac 39 CPU cooler height, but it shouldn´t be that much of a problem, as my brother can use the Intel stock cooler, as they are not that bad, especially Haswell does not have heat problems. Another concern is the 500W PSU, whether it is enough with an AMD GPU

 

 

Thanks for your suggestions, hope this build is a good bang for the buck build to play some FullHD High Settings games....
