I'm trying to get my friend into pc gaming and he says he only wants to spend 600$. However he will be selling his xbone and I think I can get him to raise it to 800$.

Heres what I have for him already:

My old EVGA Gtx 770

My old Rosewill Blackhawk Case:

plus my old monitor

All those above Ill probably sell to him for about 300 or something.

That leaves lets say 200-300$ for the CPU, RAM, Motherboard, PSU, and hardrive. (anything else im forgetting too)

I was thinking AMD cpu since this is infact a budget build. Fill in the blanks for me please! Also if you could I would really appreciate it to be linked in on pcpartpicker. Thank you so much!

Looks good, what do you think of an amd fx-6300? im pretty sure it is about equal to the one you listed though.

AM3+ socket is outdated and still uses only pci 2.0. THough this has little difference, the athlon is almost as good and much cheaper.

Do you think this CPU could bottleneck the 770?
