PC build Help

[Fokus]

 

Hey, I have a friend who wants to build a gaming PC for as low as possible. Our budget is around $ 400, please let me know what you guys think. Any suggestions are welcome, here is our current parts list:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YRWstg. Thanks in advance

EDIT: He want's to play GTA V and Fortnite.

Is that $400 limit going to include a Windows license as well?

Sorry, but for that amount of money he might be better off looking for a prebuilt machine such as something from Dell or HP.  IMHO.

i would go for a r2 2200g system with that budget

Drop the SSD if it is outside your budget, or if you already have a HDD you can use for storage, keep the SSD and drop the HDD.

We originally had that but I thought the gtx 1050 would be faster for GTAV at high settings 1080p

For me whit 2666 ram and 1500mghz oc on vega 8 and 3.8Ghz on CPU GTAV ran on medium in 1080p around 40 to 50 fps, only drops when on hills were there is a lot of grass, 1050 is pretty simular to vega 8 in gta @high 1050ti would be faster

cheaper

If you somehow make your budget $450-470, then you can get a waaaay better machine, and the most weird thing for me was the 1050 VRAM....2GB is gonna top out o almost both the games mentioned on barely medium settings.

 

Also, yo need better RAM, I'll edit the parts and then re post the link after editing...

If you can't go above $400, then check out some craigslist PCs, post the links here in this thread, and we will save you from scam!

cheaper

that APU is fine with JUST Fortnite and relatively demanding titles. Destiny, DOOM, PUBG, Battlefield and COD are not gonna run off this build, just cartoony or low graphically intensive games. So I guess he's fine JUST for GTA 5 and Fortnite or some Overwatch...
