go with a g4400 and h100 mb and ddr4 ram. the mb let him drop in an i3 or faster cpu when he has the funds.

If this is a build and forget box then the AMD route is OK for a budget build I believe. You can even upgrade that GTX 950 in the future as there is some room to push more there. Also GPU upgrades are easy technically speaking. Now , if you are building something that can last and be upgraded over time then smorizio has a better option certainly. Budget builds are just that and the objective for the build and use case are very important on those.

For example if your friend isn't really PC savvy and doesn't want to get involved with all of the future upgrades etc then a solid fire and forget box is the easiest and sometimes best route. That way once they join the PC master race the next build will be bigger both in scope and budget.

Cheers!

total price 516 euros.
this will blow your build out of the water.

i went with a ssd to keep your pc fast forever and its enough to store all small games and 5 triple a games.
big games with high maps like the witcher and gta 5 or MMORPG like wow and black desert will load waaaaaay faster.
you can add a 1tb hdd later with ease.

i bought my custom pc there , psu out of stock? you get a better one thats 10 euros more expensive, i also broke my motherboard my first pc attempt, they RMA it free , very nice people.

because it works doesn't mean it reduces the lifespan of your components, resulting in the future with ehh crashes black screens. and other trouble

but ur free to do whatever u want.
- that vs is one of the worst-
