Build for friend

[Taswell]

yaay I get to do another scratch build. My friend needs a new computer because he really wants No Man's Sky and its pretty laggy in other games

Current computer - HP Elitbook i7-2600QM, AMD Fire Pro 5350 (pro version of the 6670M)

 

Budget is about $600 USD

He also wants it small. So matx micro tower or smaller 

He Plays Space Engineers,No man's Sky (soon), minecraft (but I don't count that) and probably whatever PC exclusives he can find that aren't on xbone.

 

P.S He likes blue

You need at least 16GB of RAM to play Space Engineers without it lagging to hell on planets... I speak from experience. You can go cheaper on the motherboard btw. I'm pretty sure there's a sub-$50 one with USB 3.0 headers.

Game's that Ram hungry? Fair enough:

I think that V300 bad, get a better PSU, 380x is a bad buy with the 470 and 480 out.

DUDE! I have a build for you, it is a micro atx blue and white build I believe. It is just over $700 dollars, so it goes a bit over budget, but I still recommend it. Whats funny is I planned building this pc for my friend, and he has around the same budget! Anyway, if you wana know the parts, contact me through here, and I will send them to you.
