Help building $680 Gaming PC with a catch.

[Shauneepeak]

I have a friend who plans on building a new gaming PC. She has all the peripherals already which makes things a bit easier. However the catch is she is Polish and well lives in Poland so I have been trying to help her but prices seem to be a bit more expensive than here in the US. Because of this I have been having trouble and trying to browse Polish computer sites is difficult not knowing the language.

She is a fairly casual gamer but would still like to play some of the newer games such as The Witcher 3 with good settings, she is in no way seeking to max games out she'd just like things to look nice at 1080p.

It is very unlikely she will overclock or anything along these lines so I would like to keep things simple with that in mind.

I was using an AMD FX-8320, an MSI 970 Gaming MOBO, and a R9 280(some models have now dipped to around $170) as a base and working off of there.

She has roughly a 2500 z? budget(about $680) and I am afraid to skimp too much on the CPU and GPU seeing as she want to run The Witcher 3, so if anyone here has the ability to help that would be lovely.

Using komputronik.pl which seems to have a better selection and much better prices and dropping down to an R7 265 I have managed this.

However that is without Windows and the GPU is lower than I would have liked but I checked and the R7 265 seems to get good performance in The Witcher 3 on Medium settings.

Help would still be greatly appreciated.

better options for less, fx 8320e with hyper 212, you can run 4.0 ghz ONLY touching multiplier, or if using msi gaming can do it easier, r9 285x does a bit better and using msi afterburn can tweak bit better, r7 265 will limit her greatly on what she will want to run or future of gaming.

I know the 265 will limit greatly it's just what I have to work with the 285 is about $320-340 dollars in Poland, for the cheapest models, and switching from the FX-8320 to the E version only save around $20.
Also as stated she has no plans for overclocking even using built in tools.

We recently found the non-K version of I5's are not nearly as overpriced as the K models in Poland and then grabbing a cheap H81 MOBO which seem to have next to no markup. That would limit her to 1600 RAM and no overclocking but as she does not plan to do any to begin with I think this may be the way to go and allow her to get an R9 280 which is about $230.

So far this is seeming like the way to go.

if wanting to go Intel yes would be good option, I am unfortunately bias as every system I have had since the beginning is amd, hasnt steered me wrong yet
