Building a budget gayming PC for my friend. He'll mostly be playing shit like LoL and CSGO on it, but also a few more demanding games like Black Ops 3. How does this look?

Solid, no complaints. Refreshing to see somone build something different than the standard i5 970 maymay. Pull the trigger
>>
>>51739459
Go for the i5, take out ssd.
>>
No neex for you to get the anniversary mobo its just a version for the g3258.
>>
>>51742533
I only selected it because it was the cheapest board without a shitty chipset like B81 or something

>>51742404
I don't think he needs anything better than the i3. An SSD should be a much more noticeable performance boost
>>
>>51739459
Looks good.
>>

>i5 970 maymay
...Does that make that a bad choice or is it just the most popular one?
I just put http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j232vK together based on my brother's build. I have RAM and hard drives (including a Samsung SSD) already, but what do you think?

380x and not 970 or 980

SSD is nice for main system responsiveness /etc but if you're gaming on a budget loading times generally take a backseat to frametimes.

Have the same cpu. Been go so far.

how would this be for future customization?

I would get a 390 instead. The 970 at $310 isn't a terrible deal but in a year once dx12 titles come out, the 390 will destroy it. Also stay away from corsair CX series PSUs.
Funnily enough, this is coming from someone with a 970 and a CX500m
>>
dump the SSD and get an i5 it will be worth it and you can always upgrade to an SSD some time after
>>
isnt the i3 a bottleneck in todays standards, or has time changed?
>>
1 stick of ram

Do you literally even know how ram works?
>>
>>51745774
Wow. Didn't even realize I had gotten 1x8 lol. I was just quickly throwing this build together and didn't pay any attention at all to the ram. Fixed now
>>
>>51744041
Case is hideous, no cooler, h97 with an unlocked cpu.

What the fuck are you supposed to get then?

Welcome to /g/
>>
>>51739459
Looks good, one of the better builds I've seen lately.
>>
>>51747099
Nothing.
Grown men aren't supposed to play video gaymez and if you need a workstation graphics amd FirePro or nvidias selection is fine.
>>
>>51739459

remove GPU
Get an i5 and save up for a GPU. Use the i5's iGPU in the meantime, I recommend doing this since it gives your friend more room to upgrade, if he wants to get a better processor later on he'll be stuck with an useless i3.

The iGPU can max out lol and get ~40-60 fps on BO3 on low.
Everyone plays CSGO on low anyway which he should get 60+ fps on.
>>
Best the best poor fag cooler? Looking for something that can take 2 fans right out the box, have tons of fans so included fan quality is not a concern for me. Cooling a i3 4170 for now and a 4770k later.
>>
even though this build is super poorfag just eat the $40 for the 8350. i3 doesn't hold up.
>>
>>51745774
Nothing wrong with 1 stick of ram. Dual channel performance increase over single channel is negligible anyways.

Not op but for he same purposes, is amd a meme?? or can I rely on fx-6300 + 2gb gpu?
I mean, I read games like battleblock theatre don't really need 6 cores to perform. But what do you think?
Battlefront will be played there too.
