Whats a good build for $800?

Jagyir · Dec 12, 2013

My friend will not need anything special, room for upgrades is always available, but he has a budget of $800.00 he said, he also told me he won't be playing huge online games because of his internet, the games he will be playing or more like Bioshock Infinite (maybe), Borderlands2 (maybe), Kerbal Space Program, Euro Truck Sim 2, FSX, etc, he is more of a simulator type gamer. Any build advice would be helpful, use PCPartPicker if you could, if not, who cares.

Here is the list. You friend can buy either SSD or better GPU, and the price will be a little bit over the $800 budget. If your friend does not want to it will be OK.

Because the FSX is the cpu intensive game so I choose intel instead of the AMD cpu. http://www.jetlinesystems.com/performance.php
