I am building a computer in the next month for the first time after leaving console gaming..
I have watched budget builds on youtube but the problem is there are no updated builds with the current price market.
My budget is at $550 as I have other expenses/payments to make.
This build is pushing my budget and I can't go any higher.
All I want to do is play the current games smoothly on medium settings, nothing insane.
In particular, I want to play the new battlefield 1.
Will this build be able to run battlefield 1 smoothly?
A person on a network forum gave it to me quickly. Please update it/edit it/feedback/or assure me that this is a solid build! :)

Is the budget of under 600 really bad to run this type of game?

Well first, the new AMD chips are coming out next month, so I would not recommend, in anyway, a 10 year based technology chip for a current build. And I have a AMD FX chip. But it's old, outdated. I would wait or go intel. Again, coming from an AMD fan. lol.

Thing you have to realize about PC gaming too. Everyone wants a killer ultra graphics 100+fps game crushing system.........but they only have a console budget. PC gaming isn't cheap and if you go cheap, you won't get the 10000000fps you want.

That said, the new BF1 isn't that demanding og a game. I know people that play it on a 7770, but still, don't expect miracles. You also have no budget for an OS.
 
Agreed that it is just bad to advise to go for AMD fx serries at this point in the game (and my rig runs an fx-8320 so I am no intel fanboy).

I would suggest you deal with console for another few months until you can scrape together another $150-200 for better CPU and PSU to make the build worthwhile. Otherwise ditch the AMD, get an i3 6100 and $55-60 motherboard, switch to DDR4 memory, ditch the cpu cooler for now and get a different PSU, that specific EVGA is not that good.

You are better off getting a slightly lower end PC with a very upgradeable base then starting with a cheap already dated platform that will difficult to get upgrades for soon.

As stated by getochkn you did not include OS in build.
