I'm trying to convince my friend to get a pcc instead of a ps4 and i'm trying to choose some parts that will be much better than the ps4 but not too expensive. I live in norway where the parts are much more expensive, so if you have a recomendation of a cheap part, i'll have to check how cheap it is here.
He want's to be able to run older games at pretty high settings at pretty high fps and coming games like the division and assassin's Creed unity at better settings than the consoles.
The things i'm wondering the most about is what cpu to get and what Graphics card, but first these are the parts that i've already figured out:
OS: WIndows 8.1
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 64MB 1TB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL9 2x4GB (F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL)
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite
PSU: EVGA 600B Bronze 600W (MAy change depending on what Graphics card and cpu i'll pick)
If there's some parts^^ you think i should switch out, please leave them below and i'll check what the price is for it here in norway. Remember this is a mid range Budget build. I don't want to spend any more than 785 dollars. If i'd buy parts in America i'd have no problem because it's so much cheaper there, but here it's pretty hard to get a good pc within that price range. So the parts i've listed above costs about 458 dollars here in norway, so it'll be pretty hard to get a cpu, motherboard and Graphics card within that price range, but if it's impossible, i'll change some of the parts.
Graphics card:
I'm almost certain theat i'll choose and amd card, because you just get so much more for the Money. Is running skyrim at ultra setting to much to ask for?? For the Money i have left, how good of a card can i get? And how much memory do I need? I know i don't need more than 2gb. If you have any suggestions please tell me.
CPU:
The reason i haven't chosen a motherboard yet, is because i don't know if i should og amd or intel. I have an intel cpu myself so that's the brand i'm most familiar With. I don't know how the naming of the amd cpu's work. These are the two cpu's i've been looking at, but leave me suggestions if you know any better:
AMD:

The amd one is a bit more expensive, but it has 4 core's and many advantages, but it does not have Integrated Graphics. This isn't needed if i have a Graphics card right?
And what is hyperthreading and cache and is it really Critical for a good rig?
Motherboard:
I have to decide cpu first
Give me any and all thoughts, because i really need them. I'm not really good With Budget stuff, as i always think the more high end stuff is needed for a good pc, so tell me if there's something that I don't need that will save me a couple of bucks
Thanks for any replies!
