I am looking at a new budget (as he destroyed his last custom one) gaming pc for my son's 13th birthday. He plays Rust, BF4, COD series, etc at 1080p, if I'm not mistaken. Would the following specs be adequate?
10 core (Quad CPU 6 GPU); 3.8GHz; 1 TB HDD (I can install SSD if necessary); AMD A8-7650 w/integrated (my biggest concern since Rust now recommends R9 series) AMD Radeon R7 series graphics; 16GB DDR3.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Im assuming this is going to mainly used PC parts, if so Id really suggest getting a used 4th gen i7 like the i7-4770 or K variant over the AMD, its a stronger chip and still uses DDR3 RAM. As far as a GPU Id get something like a 1050 or 1050ti, or look for a used GTX 960 or 970.

Thank you. They are supposed to be all new parts, but when ordering online, you never know. I'll start looking for a decently priced pc with the specs you've recommended and see what I can come up with. Thanks again!
