So far this is what I have planned out for my friend: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Theminecraftaddict555/saved/7XqYcf

 

Any improvements needed here to keep a good bang for his buck, maybe a better case with two fans preinstalled?  The budget is set under 420$...

 

He will be planning to play gta v with me for most of the time....

Where is the graphics card? Also change the RAM to 2x 4gb. having 1 stick of RAM seems a bit risky, since if it dies you can still rely on the other 4gb stick.

Look at the video card section, you will see it says gtx 750 ti 2gb and lead you to a website that is selling that used gpu

 

Good thinking, I changed it to 2x4 crucial vengeance ram 

2GB VRAM isnt enough to play games. youll need atleast 3-4GB 

Yeah, check this out: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/devincat/saved/#view=WZht6h I got ya a 4GB GPU, which is better for modding, and rest of the build is equal.

I changed my gpu to an rx 460 2gb << which should play most modern games at reduced settings, don't worry my friend will upgrade eventually 

I was pretty sure that you needed a quad-core CPU to run GTA V, but I could be wrong.  Just an FYI, you may need to upgrade that CPU.

actually the i3 6100 seems to run gta v fairly well, sorry for the huge sized video lulz
