My younger brother needs a new computer and i decided to build one for him but not quite sure what parts are good for the money, so i would love if someone could help me pick some parts for his new pc
Thanks,
Jamie

Even got the OS in for you:D
Just a reminder that you should atleast check if msy.com has better deals than the online stores.
looks like a really good build except id probly rather get a i5 3570k with the hyper 212 and oc that, what do you think?
Your choice. Just make sure its unlocked. I'd go AMD for gaming build at that budget but if you wanna go intel...you'll need a different motherboard though.
My brother will be playing games thats more intensive on the cpu side. Games like arma 2/3... so thats why i picked the 3570k
