Here is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fpF3WZ I switched out the cases for a slightly more expensive one to give you more room when building and more cable management options since it will be your first time building. I switched out the RAM for 1886 instead of 2133, they are virtually the same anyways. I switched out the Logisys CPU cooler you had for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, I have one and it is excellent. Plus, it has over 1000 reviews with an average of 4.6 out of 5. I also switched out the motherboard for an ATX one since you are using an ATX case and not a Micro-ATX one.

Wait just a sec, before you do I have a build to suggest.

It is alot better than the fail they call DayZ Standalone, there are actually cars and you can build.

Well...the option you suggested wouldn't run Minecraft, much less GTA IV.

No problem, I just was unaware that some games don't support certain quantities of CPU cores.

Since when do games not support 6-core CPUs?

Please tell me you are trolling or know absolutely nothing about computers whatsoever.

Why exactly would you recommend a pre-built all in one PC? He wouldn't even be able to run Minecraft on that much less GTA IV. Dual channel ram is always better than single channel, so I wouldn't go with that ram. The build also doesn't need an aftermarket CPU cooler unless he is overclocking, so he can save some money there. I know it is not the best way to get an OS, but there are other ways of getting it than buying it to save money. I would have went with an AMD CPU instead of Intel on a build this low budget. He can't afford to spend money on anything that isn't necessary, like for example the sound card. The case is just way to expensive for a $400 build, I would have went with a cheaper one. Also, I am not sure why you chose a $100 250GB HDD when you can get a 1tb for $50-60. I would suggest researching more about PC's before you go around a suggest builds like that. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mkV623 The absolute best I can do.
