$650 Gaming PC

A friend wanted to build a PC for CS:GO, Overwatch, and maybe some light video/audio editing. I went with the zen chap for the last two, adn because a GPU upgrade down the line is a lot easier than a CPU. The rx 460 because it can easily run OW and CS:GO at 60+ FPS (like 200 in CS because that is one easy game to run). The total budget was $650 including a monitor. A 250gb SSD because it's really only going to have a few programs and not too many large files. Fast RAM because it's pretty much the same price as slower stuff and Zen likes it, a good PSU, and cheapest of the cheap motherboard/case. I was wondering what all of your thoughts on the build were (been awhile since I looked at parts too much, so there might be good deals on some parts that I'm unaware of). and if anyone knew of a good monitor that will fit in the budget at 1080p/60hz.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

but why

No need to OC, I don't think it's really missing any essential features, saves $20. I haven't really looked at parts since skylake was new, so I don't know the new stuff too well, does the A320 chipset have some problem?

Thanks! I didn't actually find that one, though I had a good laugh at "mechanical feeling."

A320 doesn't support overclocking, but it has the features you'll need. i picked the A320 board because i didn't feel that your friend would need to overclock and to keep within budget.

Thanks! I saw a lot of people suggesting it between here and PCPP, so I figured there was something wrong with it that I didn't know about. IMO OCing isn't a great idea at this price point because for the $20 extra you could almost just buy a better chip, and there's cooling to take into account, etc. I combined parts from a lot of suggestions (thanks for the 1050ti, btw, I didn't think I could fit one in the build) to come up with this build:

I'd get a better PSU, the BV is quite mediocre. otherwise it's fine.
