Hi everyone and thanks for clicking on this thread. I have this person who wants a tight budget build. All he said he wants to to is play dayz standalone on high-ish settings. I'm thinking a 6300 and a 7770. I set one up and it's $550, plus a little fee to put it together would make $600, but if anyone can make it cost less that'd be great.

Use a better motherboard . One with a 970 series chipset and not the older 760g board you have listed .
Usually the best budget model is the Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

The MSI boards fail in service . Dont use one

Remember, it's supposed to be the cheapest I can get it down. The only requirement is the run dayz on high. It stumps me because it's more cpu intensive than than gpu intensive. That said, the build is $550 right now. Feel free to switch parts or anything that'll lower the price.

I'll do that, but what I was initially requesting was help lowering the price. Maybe a 6300 would still do the job? Does it absolutely need 8gb of ram? Etc. Anything that would lower it. Compromise but still enough to play dayz. Thanks for the help so far.

Where are you getting that FX 8320 that it's $130? I'm seeing it for closer to $160 (new). Anyway, if you can find an FX 6350 for less than that the benchmarks are fairly close between it and the 8320. The biggest gap is naturally mutli-core performance where the 8-core 8320 has a 15% lead over the 6-core 6350 but in other tests they're closer. The 6350 is faster on an individual core basis.

Already though, the prices you have for the specs listed are a great value (almost suspiciously so). It's hard to beat a 560ti for $100 for example.
