He has a son who wants to play the likes of CSGO, LoL, Minecraft and 2D Games
I would say at 60fps on all but on a non hd resolution I think his monitor is 1024 x 768
he will play everything on low he said
Do you think this will be the best build for that budget here is the best I could do

Its best to get an fx cpu paired with a gpu, but your build will work ok. You probably want a slightly better psu.
The one I put in a poor quality, but still better.

...for this budget, as much as it goes against my better judgement, I'd probably half the memory and put the $20 or so towards a better apu. Memory will be easier to upgrade later than apu. *shrugs*

i thought about doing that but a quad core a series is like over 80$
and i feel its not worth just to get an a6 since its also dual core.

I think 600w psu is WAY overkill for this build. Even 400-500w would easily handle a unreasonably powerful gpu if needed later.

That said, the bundled PSU may be bad quality and $30 isn't a bad price for a solid psu, regardless of overwattage.

the benchmark #s make the 6300 seem a smidge faster than my ancient, but kicking AMD 64 x2 6400, so maybe it won't be bad. I've used mobile A4 APUs and don't enjoy the performance. good luck!
