Hi everyone, so my friends laptop broke and he needs a new whole pc (he has about 550€-600€) Im gonna buy everything on amazon.es and i thought about this build:
i5 6400 176€
HyperX fury 8gb 2133 ddr4 36€
Gigabyte GA-110M-s2h 65€
or
MSI B150M Bazooka 76€
MSI gtx 950 170€
1 tb 7200 50€
Nox box 40€
Tacens mp60 40€

I know the graphics card does not match the cpu but he doesnt really play last crazy games so maybe he could change it in like 3 years or something. Also with a SSD and a new motherboard he would have a new pc.
I asked some friend and he said he would go for i5 6500 since its only 15€ more and would get a more crappy box but im not sure.
Would you change something or everything or¿
Thank you!

I can vouch for the corsair power supply. I'm using the CX500 and it's a solid unit that runs quiet and relatively cool.

I'm not a fan of the 950. Unless your friend only plays League of legends, DOTA 2 or other less demanding titles I would spend a few bucks more and get something with some power. Or buy a used GPU.

This is a good setup for that price, you can't do anything better really for 600eur.
The only thing you may change is the CPU+MOBO to a g3258 or a 6300 to get a r9 390 but it seems the person who will get this will benefit more from the i5 rather than a faster GPU
 
I mean he mostly play things as garrys mod or recent games that dont require some crazy specs like plants vs zombies or whatever. So yeah i will prob go with that build u recommend @little cat
Thank you everyone
