$650 build?

PLSG08 · Aug 17, 2013

A friend of mine is gonna make his own PC, and he has a budget of $650.

He needs:
-Processor
-RAM (at least 4gb)
-GPU
-HDD
-ODD
-PSU
-Case

He play games casually and doesn't go higher than 900p (1600x900).

any thought?

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570

MOBO: ASUS P8H77-M LE

RAM: 8GB

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7750

HDD: 1TB

ODD: DVD Drive

PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500

CASE:COOLER MASTER Elite 430

Total $642

CPU: AMD FX-6300 $120

Cooler: XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 $25

Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 $130

RAM: 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3-1600 $54

GPU: Zotax GTX660 2GB AMP! $170

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB $60

ODD: Samsung 24x DVD Burner $15

PSU: Corsair CX600 $60

Case: NZXT Source 210 $30

$664, before shipping, slightly over budget but you could drop the CPU cooler if you wanted to bring the total to $639. Though I'd spend a little bit more and go with an FX-8320 with the CPU Cooler, that would bring the total to $689 before shipping.

For casual gaming I'd take an 1155 i3 instead of a 1150 i5 actually.

Does he have a copy of Windows already? That's an easy 100 USD if he doesn't.
