Is this a good budget build?

KeenanGreen · Jul 8, 2017

My cousin wants to build a gaming pc and his budget is £650 and I've tried to put together a build for him but before I send him this list of parts I'd just like to get people's opinions on wether this is a good build or not because I don't want him to order the parts and then it be a bad pc.

Get the G4560, nearly half the price of the 7100 with 95% of the performance. That psu is overkill, a good quality 450w is fine.
