Hi everyone, Im trying to buy a build for my little brother's 14th birthday but I dont know what is the best build for $1000 (No need for keyboard and mouse or something like that)
He will be doing heavy gaming on it ( thats what he has been doing for all these years lol)

We do not want AMD APU, Ive been told that they are slower than Intel CPU
And he said he will be overclocking it or something like that.

I would like to have best bang for the bucks


Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

This build looks cheaper, Could it play the games that is coming out in few years? (atleast 2 years) Coz I dont want him wasting his money upgrading it every year. U know what I mean??

By the way, We dont need no Windows we have 2 coppies of home premium x64

This is almost identical to my current pc that I built 3 months ago, I get 50+ on Battlefiled 4 Ultra 1080p. It should have no issues what so ever running games for the next few years. I payed $1400 for mine, but I do have an SSD and a more expensive case/power supply.

You can get a R9 290 which a bit more powerful but you should wait on those until the custom cards get released because the reference one is not good. I'll also include the PSU I have in this build because the R9 290 can be a bit power hungry.

Please don't recommend ASUS, MSI or ASRock motherboards.

Take some time to do some research. I suggest you start with this video made by an engineer:
