Hi,

 

I am building a PC for my brother. The price limit is $1100 AUD.

He wants to play games like Rust, CS:GO and Payday at decent settings, 60 FPS.

He said he wants a 500GB SSD, the SilverStone Sugo SG13B case (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/30716?gclid=Cj0KEQjww7zHBRCToPSj_c_WjZIBEiQAj8il5NLYQDN-yxSOyNH9UbO_YhguJfHdprTZLxQZeRESn7IaAiyV8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds) and he already has a graphics card that he said he wants to use.

 

So any suggestions on the RAM, Motherboard, CPU (and Cooler?) and Power Supply?

 

Thanks

What GPU does he already own? Does he plan to OC? 16Gb of ram and a 500W PSU will do (Modular would help given size of case). 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.
