My friend is on an almost impossible budget to make a gaming pc in which he wants to run games on at lest very high settings. Saying this he needs the pc components, keyboard, and monitor nothingelse. $650 is the max he could do so it would be well appreciated to focus on he pc parts and not the keyboard which could be $10. It may be hard but I have some research going and with my lack of familiarity of AMD products I can not guarantee the best. Thank You!

650 isn't a bad budget. Here is what I would build.
All in Australian Dollars
CPU: AMD FX-4300 4 Core Black Edition Processor ($119.00)
Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 Motherboard ($69.00)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X OC 2GB ($225.00)
HDD: Western Digital WD Green 1TB WD10EZRX ($69.00
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM KVR16N11S8K2/8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 ($95.00)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB 24x DVDRW OEM ($19.00)
PSU: Corsair CX-500 V3 Power Supply ($85.00)
Case: BitFenix Comrade Case Black ($45.00)
Total - $726.00
In the US it would be at least 50-100 dollars cheaper. This is what a safe build would be for that price.
