Hello guys.
I am building a PC for a good friend of mine and this is the best I got with his budget: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/nXKNvV
What do you think?
We are wondering if we can decrease the budged getting other components with similar value/performance.
Not planning on going SLI in the future, nor doing Overclocking, because neither of us are familiar with doing so.

Ah! by the way he has a 1080p monitor and doesn't want to go any further about resolution.

If you aren't planning to OC, you can cheap out on the motherboard and take a normal i5 - 6600.

 

That should give you the option to get a 1060 6GB or rx 480 8GB, depending what you prefer.

 

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Thanks for the fast reply :D!! I can see all your changes have sence since we have no plans for OC (I know it is a loss of extra performance but we don't want to burn the PC, total noobs in that matter) However, he is going to play only in 1080p, I forgot to say it, so why the change in the gpu from 3gb to 6gb?

There is an increase when getting that 1060 6gb. Maybe by 5 fps or more
