$800 Budget Build Verification

[HowieIsBoss]

Hi there,

Hope all is well. I appreciate you stopping by to read this. I'm building a computer for my little brother with a price tag of $800. The GPU in this list will be put in my current system and swapped with a 2GB GTX 960 SSC. Let me know if there is anything you would change. I would like to get under $800, but this will work. Thanks again and have a great night!

Thanks, take that GPU and place my old 960 into this list here, will it still perform well? Thanks

+1 to James Mason's list, don't buy locked old gen I5, coffee lake I5 is much better.
