Best Budget Build for Australia

So I was finding parts for my brother's PC he wants to build, when I found I was sort of stuck at the $600 mark. Ideally, he would want a build at about $400, but whenever I look up "best budget gaming (Part)" I find that often the part they propose is either not available in Australia, or much more expensive in Australia, or has a very high shipping cost. Hopefully someone can help me out, he doesn't need too much storage, (maybe 500gb hdd, or 250gb ssd)  and he's not too worried about much but simply performance.

 

Part Model   Link
CPU AMD FX-6300   Amazon
       
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-H110M-A   Amazon
RAM Kingston HyperX Fury 1x8GB    Amazon
       
HDD WD Blue 1TB 6GB/s   New Egg
GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB   Amazon
Case Thermaltake Versa H15   New Egg
PSU EVGA 430W 80+ White   New Egg
Total: $638.35

Hell no, don't use last gen AMD CPUs anymore. Something like Pentium G4560 would be much better. (Also, you picked the wrong mobo which is not compatible to FX CPU)

GPU not the greatest for gaming.

PSU is bad, get a better one

 

I suggest you to get a used PC and throw a good GPU and PSU in it (maybe adding more RAM and a SSD if budget allows)

 

@Droidbot, I think you can help.

The B350 is also available at $88 USD though, but I'll try to build one for you

Wait for an eBay sale. 20% off preferred - recently one ended. Use it to pick yourself up a used Dell Optiplex or HP Elite system with a i53570, i73770. Hover around the $280 mark. Then get a low profile 1050TI - and for $480 - you've whipped the shit out of a console. 

idk

I am not used to budget build IMO

Can you find some of the cheapest compatible parts with my current part list, and then i could just add a 1050ti and pentium g4560

My main recommendation is that, the 1050Ti is standard card but solid

Good, 1050Ti can play BF1 in 1080p without disappointment

Can I put this 1050 Ti into this pc (small form factor version):

 

Specs of the initial Prebuilt:

Chassis (H x W x D)
10.0 x 33.8 x 37.9 cm (4.0 x 13.3 x 14.9 in)
Approximate weight
7.6 kg (16.7 lb)
Weight supported (maximum distributed load in desktop position)
35 kg (77 lb)
Drive bays
  • External: (1) 13.33 cm (5.25 in), (1) 8.89 cm (3.5 in)
  • Internal: (1) 8.89 cm (3.5 in)
Expansion slots
(1) PCI; (1) PCIe x1; (1) PCIe x4; (1) PCIe x16
Temperature range1
Operating
10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F)
Non-operating
-30° to 60°C (-22° to 140°F)
Relative humidity (noncondensing)
Operating
10-90%
Non-operating (38.7°C (101.66°F) max wet bulb)
5-95%
Maximum altitude (unpressurized)
Operating
30,4800 cm (10,000 ft)
Non-operating
91,4400 cm (30,000 ft)
Power supply2
Operating voltage range
90-264 V ac
Rated voltage range
100-240 V ac
Rated line frequency
50-60 Hz
Operating line frequency
47-63 Hz
Standard efficiency
240-W active PFC
High efficiency
240-W active PFC; 87/90/87% efficient at 20/50/100% load
Rated input current
4 A

 

If the PSU is incompatible (e.g. not enough wattage) could I get a new PSU? If so, what PSU should I get for the 1050 Ti? (keep in mind the small budget)

If the Graphics Card is incompatible (e.g. size, power consumption or simply that there is a better card for cheap) which 1050 Ti would you recommend?

 

Lastly, is the PSU proprietary, and therefore not possible to replace?

The card will fit, but i guarantee for the mini ones or the single fan one like Zotac cards.
