Hi everyone. Long time since I made a post holy crap. Anyways long story short, a friend of mine wants a gaming pc for $450. Not a penny more. Monitor and OS is NOT needed. Wants to run stuff like DayZ and Arma3 with hopefully medium settings and 30+ fps. Best I could come up with is roughly an Athlon x4 860k+r7 370 level build. Not good at finding cheapo everything other than GPU and CPU. Anything is welcome. Thanks :D

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

He won't actually have the money for maybe a month. When will the rx470 launch as that seems like a great option.
