Budget Build

[TechnoFreak]

So I'm helping build a budget PC for my friend, but I'm not 100% sure on the parts we are going to order. Any suggestions would be nice. He already has the video card BTW. the range is 650Ish (The video card is included in that). 

 

AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor

Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Silicon Power Slim S 60 2.5" 60 GB SATA II I MLC Inte rnal Solid State Dri ve

Gigabyte Radeon R9 380X 4GB WINDFORCE 2X Video Card

Enermax Thorex ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

LG GH24NSC0B DVD/CD Writer

better off with this

cut out the ssd or get a larger one. An SSD smaller than 128gb is a bad idea in my opinion.

I know it is budget and all. But at this point I would never recommend the FX-8350 (it's too old and crap). At least get an i3 or i5.

So he already bought the GPU? You can fit an i5 and a GTX 1060 in this budget.

Yeah, AMD CPU's aren't worth buying anymore, at least until Zen comes out.
