Good build for my friend? (under 420 usd)


Recommended Posts

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. 

If you want to me reply as soon as possible, then either quote or @CouthInk4  me as i'll be notified, a general reply will not notify me

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.
