He has the mouse/keyboard/monitor covered
He needs os!
He will be playing combatarms,ava,minecraft,dayz
It be great if he can play games on medium settings even newer games
His not a big video editor also. But he just uploads videos and just a little edit once a while.

well my pc cost around 600 dollars, try a AMD 7850 paired with an i5-3570, Or buy a chipset with the cpu included. I got the asrock h77m chipset with that cpu included.

for the psu try the corsair gs600. It's reliable and quite good and will be enough to power the parts.
if you want a dvd drive just go with the cheapest one you find. I went with a samsung one for 20 dollars.
pick up a 1tb hdd for about 80 dollars.
just get windows 7 for about 100 dollars too.

asrock h77m 70 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157303
giagbyte amd 7850 2gb 169 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125419
corsair gs600 psu 90 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139045
dvd drive 20 dollars
hdd 90 dollars
windows 7 100 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
memory I just got kingston 8gb memory which is about 100 dollars
i5 3570 209 dollars http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233

total: $839 this build will max out all those games you listed. But these prices are based on new eggs store and could change depending where you live. these are all estimates. It would also play bf4, bf3, crysis at 1080p at medium to high settings, It's over but is well worth the little more, if you want to keep to the budget drop the 7850 and go with 7770 and drop the i5 3570 for an i3

Good luck because I payed about 300 for the 7850 :p

@anonelite5 between an i5 , a in-stock 7850, and the OS, that comes to $445 (180+165+100) Even taing the cheapest possible parts ($60 mobo, $60 hdd, $70 8gig ram, $30 psu, $30 case, $15 disc drive), it comes to $700. And that is with CHEAP parts.

The i3 will be faster in nearly every game than a fx 6300, and the 7790 is very capable at $100
