Budget Build for family member

Squidgy Black

Been asked to price a build for a young family member, mostly for AAA titles I'm assuming, so I've probably gone a bit overboard with the graphics card for future proofing.

I think this is the best build I can put together that's strong enough to last a couple of years, and not a bank breaker either. Any thoughts?

What games is he playing? It's a solid build and will run anything at decent levels, but for example, Battlefield 1 is a total CPU hog that takes a toll even on Skylake i3's - a build with a i5-6400 and a GTX1050 (or GTX1060 3GB/RX470 4GB if you can push) would be a more better, balanced build for that game and others like it.

Graphics card wouldn't be as good obviously, but you'd be able to maintain a solid 60fps - with the i3-6100, even though an RX480 can run the game at ultra perfectly, you would still dip into 30-40fps range at times on the bigger maps due to CPU bottlenecking.

Depends on the games, but worth considering depending on what he want to play.
