$500 - $650CAD Build?

[sid0195]

So my friend recently asked me to help me make a computer with his budget being $500 - $650CAD including tax. He's going to be using it for mostly gaming and streaming videos. I'm going to be giving him a case (200r) and a hard drive that I have laying around so he doesn't need to buy one. I haven't been keeping up with computer parts recently so I don't know which parts would be the best. This is what I have so far but it's just over his preferred budget: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/mGzKD8 - Im not too sure about keeping the 560, I might just pick up a 1050 for him if its worth it

 

He also wants something that he could upgrade later in the future without spending too much money

 

Could he do better? Any suggestions?

SSD?

Try finding a used GPU you may get better performance

I don't think he really needs one, he'd rather have a better gpu than an ssd

13% of $600 would be actually $78 so yeah

 

But here is what I would do for $600 no tax

 

1500x with double cache, a better cooler for tiny bit amount of money is very worth it

GTX 1050 for a bit more is also worth it. In return I chose cheaper mobo and ram and decent enough PSU

You can get a 460 and it might get closer to a $650 budget.
