Need help on a PC build

[Asmerk]

I've come together with some parts myself, my price limit is $600. I kind of want a FX 8xxx processor but i want to see what people come up with. Im not a heavy gamer, thanks

[KearneyMC]

Why are you wanting a 8xxx series processor? If I was you I would get an I5 4460

Should do fine,you can change the SSD to a HDD for massive storage if you wan't to

The FX series are not what you want for this budget. Wait for reference RX 480 4GBs to come back into stock or pick up a RX 470 if you can't wait. Your call.

i do a lot of multitasking and i've had a variety of intel processors, and since its a 600 budget i figured it wasnt bad hence it found fit more into the budget for a good GPU.

$23 over, but worth it:

With around a 40% IPC advantage on the i5 plus the faster RAM, the advantage of the 8 cores is not so drastic.

why not dual channel?

Dual channel in the future... only two DIMM slots, so 1x8GB is a pragmatic choice on my part.  When you have $30 to spare, you grab another 8GB stick.

lga 1155 i7s are still good in performance, maybe just get an ssd(if you don't have one), an i7 and a new GPU?

i7 sandy bridges are not that cheap are they?  You will have to dabble in the used market as well.  He has to be comfortable with going used.

Was referring to the used market, forgot to add that in. Depends if he's willing to do so or not, but processors rarely fail anyways, so it should be quite safe.

I agree, but he has to keep from getting screwed too.  There was an i7 3770K for $165, but it unassumingly says "broken" in the description.  Might be easy to miss for some.
