Building another PC for a friend

[julesbuilder]

Sorry about the 2nd post, another friend wants to build a PC with a 1060 and wants to spend around 1000-1300, he wants the ram limited to 8gb since he will only play FPS's*

As well as a monitor.

 

Again, sorry about the repost, I'm just in need of a build and I can't think straight since I will be building both tomorrow. 

 

I'm from Australia as well.

16gb is better for minecraft and with a 1060, will benefit him in games since he can go up to $1300 aud

thats within his budget, he can cut 8gb ram if want..

Sorry forgot to say there is likely a monitor too and 8 is 100% fine since he isn't playing modded just solo vanilla.

hold a sec, let me rebuild then

there you go, he should be fine with set up. note that asrock mobo could be cheaper but lacks LLC, SOC for overclocking & heard of vdroop as well. so its wise to go with known best possible.
