What resolution does she want to game at? And does she have peripherals?

idk because i would wait untill the new amd cpus com out but if your looking for something right now i would stick with that or go for intel build but i like the build so far also gpu wise i would go with a 460 4 gigabtye version or a  gtx 1050

800 for the rest component or is it 800 for everything?

[Neuro]

It's an $800 budget, if I included the price for the case and Processor then yes, everything.

[SteveGrabowski0]

Wow. Who's idea was it to spend more than 40% of the budget on the cpu and case?

Guys I just want components for a PC, I dont want peripherals, I'm looking into getting her a decent Gaming/VR AMD build for $800, the most will be $1,000. I already have the Processor from another build I had before, didn't work out so Im reusing it, and the case is her choice because it is her dream case.

fair enough but even if u sell ur processor at a discount in ebay, u can get a better build by going with intel or hopefully ryzen in a week or two. that processor is hot, supports only ddr3 and most importantly lags behind in ipc so much..its not recomended at all

Fine, then discard the processor, and look into an Intel build, but keep the Case in or i'll be sad. :c
