A friend of mine asked me to build a PC for his son as a graduation gift. The budget is $900US.
I've been banging my head against a wall trying to come up with something.
He is mainly using it for 1080p gaming on a TV. I'm guessing 60Hz. He also has a keyboard and mouse, and an SSD.
His only real request was to use the S340 Razer edition.
I know the motherboard is OC capable and the cpu isn't. But I was having issues finding a decent Full ATX board that wasn't red/blue.
Here's what I came up with:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($213.98 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($105.93 @ Amazon)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($63.11 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.48 @ Amazon)
Case: NZXT S340 - Designed by Razer ATX Mid Tower Case ($101.63 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($76.22 @ Newegg)
Total: $614.35
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I left the video card out, I figure I'll have him wait for the RX 480 board partner cards.
