I would upgrade to at least a 7200rpm HDD as the 5400rpm would be really sluggish.

That RX 480 is horrible. It might just be one of the worst 480s next to reference. Do you want to burn his/her pronoun's house down?

I understand that. But the problem is, I feel AMD can come up with something good now with free sync monitor maybe

And the next cheaper 8GB is at 60 AUD more. Else I have to switch to 1060 6GB (which are also Gigabyt cards)

Or an RX 480 4GB, which isn't a terrible card. In fact, at 1080p, there are very few instances where it's slower than the 8GB variant. The XFX RS is just 329 AUD, and the Sapphire Nitro + is 339. The coolers are about on par, so I'd pick the RS here.

Yeah. Guess that have to do then.

@Rika Shiguma- So here's the best I can come up with for the money. Get a few drinks on New Year's with that extra $17. 

 

However, what might change things is whether or not you have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and windows key. You're going to need all of those to use a computer; let alone game on one.

Maybe. If she/he needs a monitor, then it's going to be a Core i3 6100 and an RX 470. A full setup means a Core i3 and probably a 1050.

A 1050 won't save him/her that much for legit windows unfortunately but a cheap OS from kinguin can fit

I thought a monitor and peripherals would set you back further. I'm posting a full setup in a bit.

Nope, a full setup at this price is agonizing. @Rika Shiguma- if you need a monitor, peripherals, and a Windows key, push up your budget by another $100 or so. $200 if you want nicer stuff.

@Shiv78 thinks all G1 Gaming cards suck, but I think the NVidia ones are okay. However, I'd pick the 4GB RS or Nitro + any day. I wish the GTR cards were cheap.

Checks out fine, sucky cooler seems to be exclusive to the 480.
