Afternoon TH
So last night I was up designing this PC my dad wants me to make him. Budget is 650$.
What I was able to squeeze in to this pc with such a tight budget:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($108.00 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard ($54.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($39.99 @ Mac Mall)
Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP600 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($99.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R7 265 2GB Video Card ($125.98 @ Newegg)

Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N150PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($10.98 @ Amazon)

My Questions:
Is it worth it?
Is the ram legit? 40$ for 8gb of gaming-grade RAM is surreal
Should I toss in a copy of "Watch dogs"?
Should I liquid cool?
Other things: 250gb is all he said he needs. he has this 5tb external RAID drive he keeps everything on
He does game a little bit, having a PC that does it (relatively) well may help a bit
Note: I am getting paid for the construction, the 650$ is my budget for seperation from what I am actually paid
